The FIA Is Unserious! (feat. F1Femme)

On this week’s episode, Zoe is joined by the wonderful Tasia (aka F1Femme) to discuss ALL things F1. They chat about the bad vibes at Alpine, Checo’s three-place grid penalty for Barcelona, whether Carlos’ next move will be announced this week, and the FIA’s decision to change their age requirement for a Super License. Then, they chat about Tasia’s journey into content creation, the need for more diversity in F1, and SO much more!

As someone with three jobs, I completely understand the grind when you are working full time and have the side gigs. Always appreciate any content you put out whenever it is!

The 2 things I maybe have the biggest problem reconciling are the overarching principles, the umbrella which covers diversity, equality etc, and on the other hand: host countries who find such things to be incompatible with their society for whatever reason. It is a global sport, I get it, and as such a variety of beliefs and conventions are at play but do we just put certain principles on pause for certain races?

[@waterfrontandfalls]

Yeah that's the thing it's not about principal the whole diversity, equality etc thing is just PR. All companies is all areas are doing it and it's actually better to have a DEI program in America because it's another buffer in terms of being sued as an employer. Having a program alone regardless of its efficiency is enough to lower settlement costs of potential employee lawsuits it makes sense to have something. All of it is just where is the most money not where the human rights are. The idea we race in countries where people are still stoned to death and executed says it all.

F1 is alllll about the money, they really don’t care about much else unfortunately 😕

@@fanbehaviorf1pod Surely there are openly LGBTQ drivers in the lower formulas? Drivers who break the laws of certain countries the instant their feet touch the soil? As you say, money excuses a lot of things. :/

@@fanbehaviorf1pod To be fair.....most sports are like this. It is a business after all. Owners and sponsors are out there to make a profit. Athletes are a commodity.
