“The first time I met Max was […] in Spa.
“And he was about this high.
“And he turned around and walked straight into a plated glass door.
“And it was at that point when I knew he would be a future world champion.”
I'll make a more detailed post later but for now happy women's day to Maria Antonietta Avanzo who was refused a seat in a team in 1921 because they "wanted all cars to make it to the finish line" only to be later accepted and arrive 3rd in her cathegory, giving Tazio Nuvolari a hard time.
Happy women's day to Ada Pace, who stood on the podium alone because the 2nd and 3rd classified drivers could not tolerate standing on a step lower than a woman.
Happy women's day to Maria Teresa De Filippis, the first woman to drive in F1, who could not race in France because the organizer told her " the only helmet a woman should wear is a hairdresser's".
Happy women's day to Lella Lombardi, the only woman so far to conquer points in f1, who was asked if she was just a pretty doll in an interview.
Happy women's day to Giovanna Amati, who raced for Brabham in a terrible car and was used as a PR stunt and received minimal support.
Happy women's day to the girls and women racing today, hoping for a better future.

Spring-inspired envelope 🌷🕊️
Reminder that this is where F1 is racing this week. Nobody has said anything about it yet.
And I still don't see half as many posts about human rights in Florida as I see when it's the Middle East or anywhere that's not a so called western country tbh.
