There Are Cats On This Formula One Car
There Are Cats On This Formula One Car-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:19

Circuit of the Americas has a population of feral cats, as many large places tend to attract. Alanis and I went looking for COTA’s cats and found none. But now Renault—beautiful Renault—put the cats on their Formula One car. We’ve found the cats! The cats are here! Rejoice! Cats!

As a website, we’re all but required to love cats. Jalopnik itself was born of the internet, and the internet loves cats.

Renault painted their car’s turning vanes pink and deemed them the Aerocats. Pink, of course, is no doubt part of the wider of the track in support of the Susan G. Komen breast cancer charity. They are by far the loveliest, happiest addition to a Formula One car I’ve ever seen: cute, but functional.

Taking Out The Pit Entry Cone = Ten Points (And A New Front Wing)
Poor Carlos Sainz Jr. Not only did he whack into the pit entry cone as he pulled into the pits, but he locked up his tires trying to slow down down to pit lane speed in time. This looked like the worst last minute pit call ever, but the upside...

Formula One's Nico Rosberg Would Like To Show You His Balls Of Steel
Silver Arrows? Perhaps Silver Huevos is a better name. Here’s Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg outbraking Williams’ Valtteri Bottas at the chicane during today’s Formula One Japanese Grand Prix.

Jenson Button Still Hasn't Announced Squat About Retiring (Or Not) From F1
Contrary to that McLaren Honda driver Jenson Button was certainly announcing his retirement from Formula One ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, we’ve heard nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Nope. Not a peep about Jenson’s future. Not even about his post-race dinner plans. Noooooope. On Friday, McLaren chief operating operating officer...

Alexander Rossi Speeds Past F1 Teammate's Smoky Drift On The Wings Of A Bald Eagle
I know that’s not what literally happened here, but it’s been so long since we’ve had an American in Formula One — indulge me, okay? Look at this pass and tell me that the Statue of Liberty herself isn’t weeping as we speak. It’s beautiful. Rossi’s Manor Marussia teammate Will...
