The Formula 1 Blog reported that George Russell received a 60-position penalty on the grid after Mercedes changed several parts of the power unit, exceeding the allowed limit for the season. According to the publication, he had already accumulated a 40-position penalty, but other changes made after qualifying added another 20. Still, Russell would start in P19, as three other drivers would leave from the pit lane. #F1 #GeorgeRussell #Mercedez (translated)

The Blog Fórmula 1 stated that Formula 1 should be accessible to everyone and advocated for the presence of people from different social classes, political positions, women, Black people, LGBTQIAP+ individuals, and people with disabilities in motorsport. According to the page, the participation of these groups upset some people, but its members would continue to speak out. The blog said it started in March 2021, when Brazil was recording a daily death record, while its author was working a 6x1 shift. At the time, he stated, the then-president — whom he described as currently convicted and imprisoned — reacted to the deaths by saying he was not a gravedigger. The page noted that it grew and provided the author with experiences such as watching a race in Interlagos and receiving VIP access. He said these experiences made him realize the gap between the luxury of motorsport and the reality of those with fewer resources, and that he considered it important to expand access to this environment. The Blog Fórmula 1 also stated that it preferred to seek sponsorships and partnerships without self-censorship or pretending to be something it was not. It mentioned that all pages, major newspapers, television broadcasters, and Formula 1 itself had biases, and that sports and politics had been intertwined since the 1950s. The page added that it had more contributors, including journalists, and that it had already helped columnists who later went on to major Brazilian portals. Finally, it expressed a desire to contribute to a more diverse motorsport community in Brazil and invited people to get in touch and take a stand. #F1 #Diversidade #Automobilismo (translated)

The Blog Fórmula 1 declared support for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's candidacy in the second round and stated that Brazilian democracy was once again at risk. The page said that Flávio Bolsonaro had led the first round and that Jair Bolsonaro had been sentenced to more than 27 years in prison for attempting a coup. The publication stated that, although it was not a political page, it had principles and advocated for the representation of women, Black people, LGBTQIAP+ individuals, people with disabilities, and other groups within the Brazilian Formula 1 and motorsport community. It also stated that it was in favor of dialogue and different opinions, as long as they were within the democratic field. The Blog Fórmula 1 criticized the Bolsonaro family and stated that the far-right had been elected democratically in 2018 but had tried to remain in power after losing the most recent election. The page urged the public to discuss and remember the period from 2019 to 2022 and declared support for Lula for October 25. #Democracia #F1Brasil #Eleição2023 (translated)

Lito Sousa has left us. The sadness is immense. It was years and years watching Lito's channel, learning almost daily about the history of aviation and this incredible universe of airplanes. Lito was very important; he really made a difference. Much more than the videos and his career as a mechanic. There were countless projects, him and his wife Mila, many of which are still active today with hundreds of people working. He was THE GUY. You will be missed a lot, Lito. Thank you for everything. Thank you very much. Much strength to Mila, to his son Malone, and to all family and friends. #Luto #Aviacao #ObrigadoLito (translated)

⭐️ VERSTAPPEN DEFENDE COLAPINTO E REBATE NORRIS: "É UM PEQUENO ERRO. BANI-LO POR UMA CORRIDA? ACHO QUE JÁ É DEMAIS" ⭐️ Max Verstappen falou sobre o incidente causado por Franco Colapinto no GP do Azerbaijão (que envolveu Norris e Gasly) e disse: "Se o piloto que provocou o acidente está ciente e pede desculpas... Essas coisas acontecem, é apenas um pequeno erro, uma má avaliação. É uma pena que tenha envolvido tantos carros, não é legal para ninguém envolvido em algo assim, mas bani-lo por uma corrida?
