- This is so old school. No sponsor backdrop, no retractable barriers to keep the journalists back, just a proper scrum in the middle of the paddockWe had the Max Verstappen podcast, now we have the Max Verstappen press conference 👀 #SingaporeGP
- Daniel Ricciardo's fastest lap means that Max Verstappen is guaranteed the title if he finishes second to Norris in every remaining Grand Prix and sprint, regardless of the fastest lap bonuses #SingaporeGP
- Franco Colapinto DID just divebomb into turn one... and committed the heinous crime of reaching the apex and gaining three positions. Yeah, that what they're paying him to do #SingaporeGP
- The stewards have taken so long to rule on Hamilton and Verstappen that Lando Norris is now a year older than when the incidents occurred #BrazilGP #SaoPauloGP
- My best Baku stat is that when @NicolePiastri asked me back in June which race she should attend in the second half of the season, I told her she'd really enjoy Azerbaijan. I didn't imagine it would be THIS much, Nicole! :) #AzerbaijanGP
- I've come to realise lately that Lewis Hamilton is not only statistically the most successful F1 driver, but culturally the most important racing driver of all-time. As a sporting legend and force for change in the world, his name belongs with Muhammad Ali and Billie Jean King
- He's only three years older than Fernando Alonso, and he's the DAD of somebody on the grid :)Proud father alert 🥰🚨 David Bearman watches on as his son attempts to reach Q2. It's looking good so far for Ollie! #SaudiArabianGP
- If Norris' offence is worth a 10-second stop/go penalty, what's the penalty for not deploying an obviously-necessary Safety Car? #QatarGP
- It took me an hour of walking around the cemetery, but I finally found him. I couldn’t give up on today of all days #JB17
- Lewis Hamilton has more wins when not starting from pole (42) than Ayrton Senna scored from ANY starting position (41).Alonso calls Hamilton an "idiot" and adds: "We had a mega start ... This guy only knows how to drive and start in first" #F1 #BelgianGP
- I miss the good old days when F1 cars looked genuinely different each year :)
- I lost my sister Lisa in the early hours of Monday. Despite Down syndrome, a hole in the heart and other ailments meaning she wasn’t supposed to survive infancy, she lived to see her 50th birthday, and was always so kind, gentle and friendly to everyone. We are devastated 💔
- Those who have become F1 fans because of Drive To Survive are as equally welcome as those who have been fans for decades. If you hear anybody acting like a gatekeeper during 2023, refer them to me and I'll quiz them at my level on F1 history to see how they like it :)Formula 1: Drive To Survive returns February 24 — and here's your first look at Season 5!
