Didn't know that F1 had two female drivers compete in races back in the 50's and 70's.

Maria Teresa de Filippis, the first woman to compete in a world championship Formula One [theguardian.com] grand prix, has died at the age of 89. The Italian started three grand prix races in a privately entered Maserati 250F, finishing a best place of 10th at Spa-Francorchamps in 1958.The Naples-born driver had earlier tried to qualify for that year's Monaco Grand Prix, failing in her efforts along with another debutant, the future F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Both were too slow to qualify but there was no cut-off in Belgium, allowing De Filippis to qualify in last place. Nine of the 19 cars then failed to finish, and she crossed the line 10th. *snip* The late Lella Lombardi is the only other woman to start a Formula 1 race, making the grid in 12 grands prix between 1974 and 1976. Britain's Divina Galica, the South African Desire Wilson and the Italian Giovanna Amati have unsuccessfully tried to qualify for the races. |

Let's hope the 2017 cars are as safe as their new tires are wide [jalopnik.com], because Formula One could get their very own crash test dummy back in the series. Venezuelan funbag of surprises Pastor Maldonado says he is in talks with several midfield F1 teams for a 2017 drive, reports WTF1 [wtf1.co.uk]. As always, talent means nothing in the world's top open-wheel series when you've got cold, hard petrostate cash.
Maldonado told Spanish-language site F1Latam.com that he's in the running for one of four open seats for 2017, as translated by WTF1:Maldonado said in the same interview that he hopes to know in the next few weeks if he'll be able to race next year:

It's amazing to hear the troubles in venezuela, but they still have money to throw into the sinkhole that is F1 (and Crashtor, in particular)

was the pr0n at least racing themed?
I figured it was probably that, but pr0n sounded funnier

also, with all this hacking in the news, I've decided to turn on two factor authentication everywhere I can. this Google authenticator app is pretty cool.
The 17-year-old Schumacher has signed a deal with Prema Powerteam, where he will follow in the footsteps of Williams' F1 rookie Lance Stroll.
F1′s youngest ever race winner, Red Bull star Max Verstappen, was an F3 driver in 2014, alongside Esteban Ocon, who will race for Force India in the premier class in 2017.
Schumacher has previously raced in ADAC Formula 4 and the Italian F4 Championship with Prema.
