Rí Rua nan Earraich 🐦⬛<p>Amazingly Road and Track pulled the article because the editor didn't like it and would have never allowed it in the first place.</p><p>Such a bad editorial choice, I think the author in defector.com is correct; decision is less about F1 or its sponsors. It is, ironically, about the editors connection to the power dynamics that Kate Wagner wrote so eloquently about.</p><p><a href="https://defector.com/road-track-eic-tries-to-explain-why-he-deleted-an-article-about-formula-1-power-dynamics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">defector.com/road-track-eic-tr</span><span class="invisible">ies-to-explain-why-he-deleted-an-article-about-formula-1-power-dynamics</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/F1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>F1</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/RoadAndTrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoadAndTrack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/formula1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>formula1</span></a></p>

Nonilex<p>It’s almost unheard of for a news outlet to retract an article w/o explanation, especially a story of this size whose accuracy has not been publicly challenged. Neither <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KateWagner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KateWagner</span></a> nor <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RoadAndTrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RoadAndTrack</span></a> responded to requests for comment.<br />
A person familiar w/editorial deliberations at Road & Track said the story, which had been in the works for months, was pulled after its <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/publication" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>publication</span></a> at the order of Editor in Chief <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DanielPund" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DanielPund</span></a> on the grounds that it didn’t fit w/the site’s editorial goals.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/F1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>F1</span></a></p>
Nonilex<p>“People clinked glasses of free champagne in outfits worth more than the market price of all the organs in my body,” she <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KateWagner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KateWagner</span></a>.<br />
Anyone who wants to read it, though, won’t be reading it on <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RoadAndTrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RoadAndTrack</span></a>’s website. Roughly an hour after it was published, “Behind <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/F1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>F1</span></a>’s Velvet Curtain” vanished w/o an explanation.<br />
In its absence, admirers have resorted to sharing an archived version that seems to have gone viral in <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>media</span></a> circles — many noting… that it had been “mysteriously removed.”</p>
Nonilex<p>A <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/socialist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>socialist</span></a> writer skewered the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FormulaOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FormulaOne</span></a> scene. Then her article vanished.</p><p>Writer <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KateWagner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KateWagner</span></a> may have seemed like an odd choice to cover the luxury world of FormulaOne.
…FormulaOne races…have become pit stops on the jet-set circuit, where the cheapest general-admission tickets start around $500. Still, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RoadAndTrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RoadAndTrack</span></a> mag commissioned Wagner to cover a FormulaOne race in Austin last fall, sending her on a trip funded by British petrochemicals co INEOS.<br /><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/03/05/formula-one-road-track-kate-wagner/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/style/media</span><span class="invisible">/2024/03/05/formula-one-road-track-kate-wagner/</span></a></p>
Donald Ham :sp_pride:<p>"PS" was the final page of every issue of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RoadAndTrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoadAndTrack</span></a> magazine. A <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ClassicCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicCars</span></a> discussion of Lucas electrics reminded me of my favorite: "Why do the English drink warm beer? Because they have Lucas refrigerators." I owned a 1973 <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TriumphSpitfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TriumphSpitfire</span></a> and knew the sweet pain of Lucas electrics firsthand. </p><p>I found a compilation, "Best of PS," published in England in 1998 and just got my copy. </p><p>(brooklands-books.com)</p>
