A Letter of Farewell to Model F1

With Model F1 in shambles, many teams have left the series in favor of the newly-formed FormulaR. It is with bittersweet feelings that Manor will be joining those teams, while the team media department will follow.

It has been a fun three seasons in MF1, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, all capped off with a magical 2016B season. Unfortunately, good things don’t last forever. The recent controversy has sparked a massive walkout on the sport and a split in model open-wheel racing. Manor team principal Macus16 has announced the team’s intention to join the breakaway series. While it is uncertain as to how many of the original MF1 teams will be in FormulaR, Manor will certainly be among its ranks.

As the head writer of Manor Motorsport Weekly, it pains me to be writing this letter to Model F1. I remember starting this newsletter at the very beginning of MF1 and it is amazing to see it grow from a paper made in Photoshop to the WordPress blog it is today. To add to it all, being joint winners of the 2016A MF1 Best Press Award is an honor that I’ll cherish. I don’t know how many days in school I have spent writing these articles, but I hope to do so in the future, even if it’s not with MF1.

With the move to FormulaR marking a huge change for the Manor team, it also marks a huge change for the media team. While Manor settles into the new environment, the media team will retire the old one. Therefore, this will be the final edition of Manor Motorsport Weekly. After 41 issues over three seasons, it is time for change.

It has been a privilege writing in the Model F1 community, and I hope I will see everyone again on the other side.
