We're at the part of the race where the commentary descends into waxing lyrical about Max Verstappen. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP
It's really sweet of Bottas to keep Alonso company all the way at the back there. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP
Jolyon Palmer: Maybe Max should've towed around Hadjar.. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP
Extrapolating from the calm 2016 Baku GP to the chaos of the 2017 Baku GP, the 2027 Madring #SpanishGP will be a safety car red flag montage. And Kimi Raikkonen will somehow still get a drive through penalty. #F1
Lawson's having a good quali. Was he given some bad news before he needs to excise? #F1 #SpanishGP
Beautiful question to a fan at the #SpanishGP: TV host: "Is it your first time here?" Fan: "It's everyone's first time here..." #F1
That's a lot of booing for George Russell on the podium #F1 #ItalianGP
So... will the Ferrari mechanics find themselves singing along to the Italian anthem this time? #F1 #ItalianGP
Really is a race where the commentators are working for their pay, eh #F1 #ItalianGP
Yea, but I'm having a confuse; both Alpine's in the top 4..? #F1 #ItalianGP
Is Lando now in the championship hunt? This is the guy who refused to admit defeat even in 2023, the year of Maximum Verstappen, until it was mathematically impossible for him to win. So, yes. #DutchGP #F1 #LandoNorris
hmm Alan Wake 2... Can I choose Watery? Apart from the eternal gloom it doesn't seem that bad and I could learn Finnish. As long as I don't leave the main street the Taken can't attack me!
You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?
Unrelated, but I love Arvid Lindblad's aggressive "I'm only here coz they're paying me" vibe; Lance Stroll looks hyped in comparison. Meanwhile, Esteban is in model mode and Alonso is radiating ✨Hero✨
More than half of Current F1 grid has not driven in Malaysia before: #formula1 #f12026 VIA: [the-race]
The driver tracker on F1TV is borked atm, it looks like someone is juggling with the driver dots. At least the commentary is working. #F1 #HungarianGP #F1TV
Adrian Newey is really hoping he got his sacrifices to the Gods of Racing and Aerodynamics right this time. #F1 #HungarianGP
Basically everything is new on the upgraded Aston Martin except the engine and the gearbox
This kind of F1 related numerology is improving my life. #F1 #LewisHamilton
🐐 Here's an insane stat - You have better odds of winning the Hungarian GP if your name is Lewis Hamilton than you do if you start the race from pole position 🤯 Pole to win rate in Hungary: 40% (16/40) Hamilton's win rate in Hungary: 42.1% (8/19)
The Italian national anthem just isn't the same without the Ferrari mechanics singing loudly along. #F1 #BelgianGP
The stewards are back to flipping a coin over penalties. Yay. #F1 #BelgianGP
Expectations being set high already; Alex Jacques declaring a "guaranteed box office first lap.." *sigh* We can't always get what we want. #F1 #F1TV #BelgianGP
Gutted for Lawson missing out on Q3. How soon will he get the upgrades as well? #F1 #BelgianGP
If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you
That's not to say climate change is over and we can declare victory but the path to zero carbon is now extremely obvious and achievable and its mostly a matter of time (and how much damage we inflict along the way) rather than an existential danger we might not solve.
I think I've just found the subset of racing/motorsport journos who think that women don't have sex.
