Antonelli is such a likeable young man. Great to see a driver feel the passion of #F1

I never want to hear the words "battery" and "overtake" ever again...

For me, the timing tower only going to a single decimal place, shows that #F1 has given up with these rules and is dumbing down. Or pandering to the DTS dummies...

Well. These new rules are working superbly aren't they?

One of the now famous images of British servicemen manning a naval gun at Shoremead whilst wearing full pantomime drag. It's usually claimed to be an image that was banned by the government or somesuch nonsense, but there's actually a rich vein of propaganda photographs of servicemen carrying on with normal, humorous life in the middle of a war. That the Nazis were understood to be dead against this sort of stuff only added to its value.

So whilst the self-reported big manly men are accidentally closing a narrow shipping channel by having a big manly war and shouting big manly war things, a reminder of that time a bunch of lads who were much secure in their gender did it deliberately.

Been watching F1 for over forty years. This the first season where I've no clue what the cars might do.

Feels like watching battery chargers race. Soulless.

Is anyone keeping count the number of times Croft says battery? Barely three laps and it's every other word. Is this #F1 or Formula E?

Race hasn't even started yet and already looking like a farce. The cars sound awful on the grid.

Imperious from Russell. That Merc looks rapid.

Hats off to Hadjar & Lindblad.

Still not sure if I like these new cars.

Mercedes having a mare here. Pit lane infringement and now leaving fans on the car which have fallen off. Which Lando hit.

Well that's unfortunate for Bortelleto after getting the Audi into Q3. But that could've been nasty in the pit lane run in.

The weather is lovely. Working from home. Sat in the garden.

Sadly the cricket is making me very very grumpy.

Because of *reasons* having to dust off my German.

This has made me irrationally (or maybe rationally in hindsight) angry about having my European travel restricted by BrexShit.

What sort of moron starts the Six Nations on a Thursday night? And it's in sodding ITV.

The French look like they're not mucking about either.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
