It's a slippery slope if referees start to describe fouls on the mic to the crowd. Using the word careless is unnecessary. Keep it clinical and just say foul. #CHEFUL

27.03.2025 09:30 โ ๐ 25 ๐ 6 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1Giedo van der Garde's assertion that Red Bull's treatment of Liam Lawson feels like bullying feels pretty accurate right now #F1
27.03.2025 09:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Red Bull need to take accountability for their own mistakes. What happens now if Yuki Tsunoda has poor results? Immediately promote Isack Hadjar? The 2nd Red Bull seat and the environment around it is the problem and everyone knows it. #F1
27.03.2025 09:43 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Using Yuki Tsunoda's temper and percieved immaturity as a reason not to promote him to Red Bull at the end of last season rang hollow when we hear Max Verstappen being very outspoken and angry pretty regularly. It's even more hollow now. #F1
26.03.2025 09:07 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Seems like Liam Lawson being dropped for Yuki Tsunoda is all but confirmed. Questions over Red Bull's management of it's drivers intensifies further. #F1
26.03.2025 08:59 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Liam Lawson could have tested with Red Bull last season when they were considering promoting him. Despite all of the problems Red Bull's second drivers have had, they decided not to. The management of Red Bull should come under scrutiny, not Liam. I feel very sorry for him. #F1
25.03.2025 21:32 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The post-race interviews and cool down room are a part of modern F1 but it does take some of the raw emotion out of the podium celebrations. I'd get them on the podium asap and do all of that afterwards. Have them jump around on the podium like the old days. #oldmanmoan #ChineseGP #F1
23.03.2025 08:55 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0As Albon has described, as the season goes on and Red Bull fine tune the car even more to Verstappen's tastes, it gets even more difficult to find confidence in the car as his teammate. I can't see the gap between Verstappen and Lawson getting much better. #ChineseGP #F1
22.03.2025 07:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I can see Yuki Tsunoda being in a Red Bull before the season's end. Helmut Marko might need to eat some rare humble pie first though. #ChineseGP #F1

Thinking of all those who knew him today.
Desperately sad. Eddie Jordan brought life and colour to the sport that can't be replaced.

This is surely a litmus test for any world leader to prove they are a decent human being. Call out Trump and rally around Ukraine. It should be the easiest decision you are ever asked to make.
28.02.2025 20:28 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I may sound like an old moaner but Spa not being on the F1 calendar every year bothers me. I'm glad it's there at all but that race is so important to the fabric of the sport. I hope this isn't a gradual departure away from F1's valuable history. #F1 #Formula1

04.12.2024 20:33 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Agreed. F1 drivers are meant to push boundaries but that was too much.
29.11.2024 11:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So it's certainly helped to move it by a month, but it is by no means going to be an easy race physically. Long, fast corners will always make this one of the toughest on the body.
