In my latest episode of Ireland getting ignored in Geography class: Someone messaged me today without any shame thinking Ireland is on CET.

You can imagine I was delighted with that.

I'd 8 to be the 1 who has a home Grand Prix this weekend and is not featured on Sky's promo for the race

Toto Talks Australia
 
With the ongoing situation in the Middle East, it seems trivial to talk about sport. We watch the developing events in the region with concern and hope that the protection of civilian life remains paramount. With the planned tyre test in Bahrain, we have had several team members affected who thankfully have now been able to leave the country safely. With such a serious situation unfolding, it would be unhelpful to talk about the possible further impact on F1 over the coming weeks; we know that the FIA and F1 will continue to monitor events and make the necessary and correct decisions as and when they need to.
 
As for this weekend, testing is behind us now. It offered glimpses, but-as always-far more questions than answers. We identified encouraging signs, but also several areas that are not yet where they need to be. That is the nature of this sport: every weakness is an opportunity waiting to be unlocked. The W17 has potential, but the stopwatch never lies. Melbourne will give us the first real indication of where we stand; that is both intriguing and humbling at the same time.

The only other person I'd expect to talk about this is Lewis (or he'll be the only one asked 🤦🏻‍♂️). But hey, at least someone else has acknowledged the seriousness of what's going on and how sport is nothing in terms of importance in comparison to it...

Cannot believe it's 15 months without Millie already. Even through the utter heartbreak and crying of the first 5-6 months without her, it has gone so fast. You were my best friend and I miss you so much 🐶

24 years since Kimi's first podium in F1. Blimey. That's a long time ago now. And the start of a 19-year journey supporting him. While I wish he won more races and championships, definitely very grateful he got one title. And to interview him in his last season in F1 is still mad to think about.

Pretty cool we'll (@pitdebrief.bsky.social) have our first F2 and F3 accreditation this weekend for the #AustralianGP. A very lovely achievement 👌

And hopefully more IndyCar races this year as well 😁

But if your favourite is jinxed, it won't be my fault 🤣 #NotMeOnTheGround

Honestly since I lost my Dad died nearly 19 years ago, a lot of winters were horrible. But thanks to walking before darkness and watching old F1 races in the evenings, it helped me a lot. Although the walking part had to stop from mid-January until last week due to a foot injury 😅

For those who don't follow IndyCar, it takes a bit of time to get heat in the tyres, plus getting used to a full fuel load, hence it takes some laps to get everything working. Plus this was after a caution!

But as soon as he did, like a darts player hitting treble 20. Bye bye everyone.

Back to serious posting: Alex Palou is like a cheat code for a video game. His first stint in clean air at St. Pete yesterday and these are his (consistent) lap times. Ridiculous talent. If he gets out front it's basically game over for the competition since the start of 2025. So, so good. #IndyCar

You would have to be a sick individual to say congrats to Charles Leclerc on his only win of the year. I am the sick individual.

Yep, I definitely don't see it happening. But I obviously never look at these things from a business point of view. And naturally he is paying a lot for that seat. Agree on the leadees' circle thought for sure. At least they should have some decent options should it come to that
