- Hmmm ... how the hell do they remember all that stuff!! I only had 2 buttons on my steering wheel - radio and drinks - and I forgot which one was which. It didn't matter though, the radio didn't work and they never put drink in the bottle 😉
- Hmmmm ... we started the new @BBC_TopGear with me as 'The Stig' 20 years ago. Time flies. Dressed in Black and as ever, just waiting to drive something fast but not with JC - he said he'd never get in a car with me!😊
- Happy 100th birthday dear Murray Walker. A little while before he passed away, my wife and I spent a lovely week at sea together with this amazing fella and his wife Elizabeth. Great fun and wonderful company. You are missed by so many my friend.
- A big smile thinking of our dear friend Murray Walker and a fun cruise we shared together only two years ago. Great company and a very sharp chap. Cheerio and thank you Sir. Love to Elizabeth. x
- #SpanishGP - scene of my wonderful #F1 debut 30 years ago and a new quali record; the engine cut and it was all over in just 30 metres. However, it gave me time to develop my Stig pose 😊
- #MonacoGP weekend ... and it's time for me to dust off and post this picture of me in my little Andrea Moda. The good thing about Monaco is it's always had plenty of bars, which was handy because after trying to qualify that thing, I needed a drink
- My dear friend Johnny Bute has passed away. A very special man. Shared a great day with him at home just last October. Quite simply he was one of my favourite people. I will miss you badly Mate. My love and affection to Serena and family. x
- For those of you who've seen this, sorry, I don't want to be boring. However, today's Good Friday marks the 40th anniversary, of a little tumble I had. From reigning Star of Tomorrow champion to becoming slightly shorter in just 5 seconds 😊 Happy Easter everyone.
00:00 - Why have I posted this photo I hear you ask! Well … I was one of the crew that shot blasted and painted this North Sea Shell rig (to earn the money to start racing) … years later Shell sponsored me at Le Mans! What a journey! @shell @royaldutchshell
- For those of you who were alive at the time, can anyone remember what you were doing on Good Friday back in 1984? I can 😁 Happy Easter everybody
00:00 - Best wishes from us lot to everyone. Didn't stop laughing last night, London, #F1 Rat Pack annual drinkies at M Restaurant Threadneedle St. My head hurts. @markblundellf1 @therealdcf1 @MBrundleF1 @johnnyherbertf1 @derekwarwick @SoperSteve Jonathan Palmer.
- Great day at Buckmore Park circuit giving a speech and then full-on Kart racing against my mate Johnny Herbert for Holiday Extras and their clients. I set Pole position and we had a super battle but he edged me in the race. Everybody had fun, and that's what it's all about!
- I'm celebrating!! I had this little 100mph adventure 35 years ago today ... it wasn't the best Good Friday for me, I broke my back, but I imagine you'll agree, it could have been worse! Happy Easter everyone
