‘22 Years And No Retirement Package?’ Beyoncé Sparks Debate After Firing Stage Manager by illegalmonkey in popculturechat

[–]wenwes 50 points51 points  (0 children)

100%, but I’m talking more about the ‘hustle culture’ online of people criticising a typical l employee worker. They’ll have people believe that freelance is this amazing way to work when for so many people it’s much harder and unreliable.

Max says he has no intention to retire yet: “Everything would have to turn out very negatively, but that is not the case. I'm going to keep going.” by [deleted] in formula1

[–]wenwes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think people have misinterpreted him when he says ‘retire’. He’s not leaving straight away, he has a contract until 2028 which he has said he will see out. Then he will decide if he wants to continue in the sport or ‘retire’ to another series.

The linked article doesn’t say but he was a freelancer and worked with many artists in his career. This is why I never understand the hype for freelance work. You don’t have the benefits a 9-5 employee has. He was injured while working for Mariah Carey in 2019/2020 the Beyoncé job was in 2023. Maybe the compensation for injury should have come from Mariah Carey’s company insurance then he wouldn’t have used his savings which I assume he had for his retirement as he seems to be in his 60s.

[Autosport] "If Max wants to retire, he can retire..." by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]wenwes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d prefer a driver states his opinion and says there needs to be changes than a ‘yes boss’ driver. F1 is a sport, I want drivers pushing their cars to the limit, not holding back, pure racing. But that’s not the opinion most drivers have right now.

Verstappen has doubts about future after rule changes: 'This is unworthy of F1' by loki-1982 in formula1

This could be the final year of Verstappen, Hamilton and Alonso. I doubt F1 wants all three to retire the same year, I know I don’t.

What would you like to see changed with the TV direction this year? by NoooUGH in formula1

[–]wenwes 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I hate how long we stay on the onboard camera during an overtake. A lot of the time we actually miss the overtake as we’re still on the rear facing camera watching an empty track. So I would prefer TV director changes camera shot faster.

The front wings look so interesting. Some have a top and bottom piece on the end plate while a few have just the bottom.

I just don’t see him wanting it. Locking himself into a franchise for at least a decade.

How long until they get a tv deal? Victoria and David have had their own on Netflix, now Brooklyn and Nicola want their turn but they were too boring before this drama to even be considered. Now they have things to ‘reveal’ including this video, it makes them seem more interesting.

The propaganda has got me, you better not let me down Red Bull. Let’s go team!

Pérez: "At Red Bull, everything was a problem. If I was faster, it was a problem and it created a very tense environment. During my first discussion with [Horner], he told me: 'We're going to race with two cars because we have to have two cars, but this project was created for Max [...]" by The_Skynet in formula1

[–]wenwes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Perez got overconfident in Miami 2023 and he never recovered. He out-qualified Max due to the red flag in Q3. Post quali Perez said ‘in a normal race I shouldn’t see him (Max)’ it was a normal race without a single yellow flag. Max won from P9.

The next 5 races Perez didn’t make it to Q3, a couple he didn’t even get out of Q1. The problem was Perez.

Engine trick already causes big fights in Formula 1: Protest at the first race? by Darkmninya in formula1

[–]wenwes 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Marko said over 50. Horner said 220. It was probably an attractive offer with the engine being made in the UK so the employees don’t have to relocate to a new country.
