Florence Mass Shooting + the Machines of F1

Russell takes pole in British 1-2-3 at Silverstone

This is Part Two of a five-part series on a significant John Madden riddle in the world of racing and pro wrestling from this past weekend.


Florence + the Machine

With this riddle connecting popular music to a shooting in Florence and the powerful Machines of Formula One, I couldn’t help but think about Florence + the Machine, who are from England, home of the British Grand Prix. Notice how a + sign, like a cross, is used instead of the word and.

Yale Skull and Bones society = 288 and William Huntington Russell = 2088

Florence Welch was born on the 28th of August, or 28/8 or 8/28:

She was a span of 13,828 days old for Qualifying:

Qualifying was held 8 months, 28 days after Yale turned 322:

"Florence the Machine" = 322 (Reverse)

Florence W. = 101. She was born 101 years, 101 days after William Russell died, similar to how George Russell = 188 was born 188 years, 188 days after the Skull and Bones founder was born.


George Russell was born in the year 1998, which is the third multiple of 666.

When summing all four base methods, Florence the Machine, Silverstone England, and Brotherhood of Death all = 666

Adding all four base methods

Florence Welch and Pole position both = 66 and 60

William Russell was a span of 606 months, 6 days (or 50 years, 190 days) old when Florence, KY was founded:

Russell died on 5/19 of 1885:

Skull and Crossbones, Skull and Crossbones Three twenty two, and Skull and Bones Three hundred twenty two all = 885


Dance Fever

As explained in Part 1, this riddle was connected to We Are Family, a record that epitomized the Disco Fever era. The most recent album released by Florence + the Machine was called Dance Fever.

Skull & Bones sums to 2022 with Square numbers.

"Skull Bones" = 2022 (Squares)

Dance Fever was released back in 2022, the first year Russell started driving for Mercedes:

Notice how Florence is standing in front of the Moon.

George Russell was exactly 324 Lunar orbits old for that album’s release:

"George Russell" = 324 (Capitals Mixed)


It’s been a span of 90 days since The Moon covered the Sun for a Total eclipse:

The 90th Prime number is 463

The Moon = 90 Ordinal and Total eclipse = 463 Latin

"Florence and the Machine" = 463 (Latin)
