This year, this component will be truly “pee-yew”. It stinks.

This makes me sad. We had a great time while it lasted.

Thank you for that mental image.

FFS. Martin isn’t here either. Jesus wept. Please tell me they’re not still feeding Elon’s dumpster fire. #F1

Is Crofty not on @bsky.app? Come on. Seriously? #F1

And don’t forget how Pat Symonds got a sweet job with the @FIA before he joined @cadillacteamf1.bsky.social. #Bygones

It’s beyond corrupt. But here we are.

All I want Montoya to say on air is “Hello. My name is Juan Pablo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” #F1

Remind me how Flavio went from a lifetime ban for making Piquet Jr bin his car into a Singapore wall to being a Team Principal again?

And the @FIA sanctions drivers for having an earring?

Beggars belief. #F1

Alex Brundle sounds a lot like Martin Brundle. He just doesn’t say things like “hugging the apex like his favourite granny” #F1

I think George Russell should change his first name to Earnest. #F1

I would absolutely buy insurance from George Russell. #F1

Or is is a 2fer. Or toofer. I dunno. When does Qualy start?

That’s what we call a twofer.

Juan Pablo Montoya doesn’t look like a former #F1 driver. He looks like a divorced guy hanging out at at the skate park looking for single moms. Come on, man. Stop dressing like Jacques. #F1

Hey they’re making progress. Remember when it took 2 cars to run half an #F1 race distance?

I cannot watch a minute of FE unless the sound is muted.

That lad Herta has big balls and sharp elbows. #F2

I kinda miss 3 pedals and a V12.

I think it’s wonderful that this year drivers not only have to nurse their tires they also have to figure out how many ohms of volts to consume per amp-hour in turn 4. #F1

Anyone know how to sign up for Truth Social? Do they have an active #F1 community?

One other observation. The current US government makes the @FIA look like a well structured and lead governance org.

Amazing. The head of homeland security is actually a plumber and former MMA fighter. The Age of Enlightenment in the US is over.

Well done, Danica. #F1

I think Ferrari’s rear wing is very clever. But doesn’t in momentarily cause more drag in its 180 rotation by being completely vertical?

I’m not an aerodynamicist. And I don’t pretend to be one. I pretend to be other things. I used to pretend to be the Race Director.

Miss you, Charlie. #F1

What’s the size of the cheque he needs to write to Honda right now for winning power units?

Lawrence Stroll is finding out the hard way that there are some things money cannot buy. Like a functional power unit and batteries. #F1

I felt let down by the way DTS handled the Horner situation. I’m not surprised by it, but I felt it made him look like a victim. That’s BS.

I quite enjoy not having his attitude absent from #F1. I fear it won’t last.

There’s a lot of darkness in the world. When we encounter some light it’s important to appreciate it.

Danica Patrick and #F1 are no more. ☀️

@f1tv.bsky.social every few minutes I get kicked off my AppleTV stream with an error saying I’ve exceeded my device limit. I haven’t. I have 2 devices out of 6. It’s bloody annoying. This is the most expensive and lowest quality app I have. Fix it. Please.

I don’t think Newey ever needs to flex.

Thank God Horner didn’t get this job. When I saw those rumours I wasn’t buying the line that Adrian would be happy to have him.

#F1 is better without him and his whinging.
