“Lewis could’ve scored ten podiums, and that first podium would’ve been equally as good. I promise there’s nothing — nothing — about Ferrari, nothing about Lewis that makes that podium any better than what it is.”
— Carlos Sainz to @foster.bsky.social in @essesmag.com Issue 05

"The fact he went from ‘Lando No-Wins’ to being this close to a championship," Rex Orange County says. "Those guys normally never win. But Lando decided to lock the F in. It’s not just a great underdog story, it’s a great story full stop."

Shared how to pitch @essesmag.com but also everything I learned about pitching in a decade as a freelancer. Enjoy! And hit me up if you have any questions — everyone in the freelance mines gotta stick together (even when they momentarily are above ground in a job)!

Next, I got to spend months working with Kaleb Horton on my favorite ever @essesmag.com story. It's about George Harrison, and his love of racing, but also about life and death and escape... www.essesmag.com/articles/do-...
I had three print mag stories in ‘25, which remains the second coolest thing ever. The first is making new writer friends who become regular friends. Shoutout @josephbienkahn.com, @essesmag.com and Tavio Nuvolari, the wild Italian who whupped the Nazis in der haus.

“Motor City Moonshot” by @timrohan.bsky.social
www.essesmag.com/articles/mot...
In the 1980s, as the auto industry cratered, Detroit needed a boost. City leaders decided to host a Formula 1 race: The Detroit Grand Prix. The F1 parties were fabulous. But did it help the city?
