1) A great thing to return to Bluesky to reply to
2) It’s definitely said knowingly but also sort of semi-automatic at this point, which perhaps reflects how much Cliches culture has seeped into my brain!

P.S. that is an awful screenshot of me 😂😂
Max Verstappen isn’t in Miami yet, he’s been at home due to the birth of his first child. Will be here for Friday. Totally understand buying as much time as possible. Best wishes to him and Kelly Piquet. The juggling act of being a new father and an F1 driver begins! www.the-race.com/formula-1/ma...
Before our interview with Ollie Bearman runs this weekend, here’s a little bonus for our Members’ Club on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/127447...
There aren’t really wet setups anymore but obviously wing levels can be a choice there - no sign that’s what they’ve done though, at least not yet
Detailed look at the first real Hamilton/Leclerc Ferrari comparison here: www.the-race.com/formula-1/wh...
George Russell just told us in the pen that McLaren is so fast they can afford to switch focus to 2026 now with an advantage like this. Says the order and margins are as expected. Reckons it’s “all tyres” and they are doing “something pretty special” - look at final sector margin.

I’ve been quickly won over by Gabriel Bortoleto off-track early in his #F1 career and he made a very strong impression again today dealing with a Helmut Marko appraisal of him: www.the-race.com/formula-1/ga...
Australia for the #F1 season opener just feels right. Here is an early video for The Race Members’ Club (90% off your first month at the moment) answering a bumper batch of questions we’ve had already: www.patreon.com/posts/we-ans...
Not my area but my understanding is the coverage will prioritise detailed analysis where appropriate including this weekend from the opener. Similar to the pre-season test www.the-race.com/endurance/fi...'

It’s just whichever journalists are on-site (in this case Edd, Jon and myself). We record it ourselves and send it to Producer Jonny to edit and publish
Thanks! It’s tricky, but worthwhile. Test finishes at 7pm. Then until around 9pm we are in the paddock speaking to people and working on web pieces and video script. Record podcast whenever we are done with all that, around 10pm.
Thank you! We just finished recording the day 3/test wrap one so won’t be too long
Good week in Bahrain. Pleasure and a privilege to see #F1 this up close and try to turn that access and opportunity into worthwhile insight. Next stop: Australia!
After a two-hour trip trackside to end testing, here's a quick final report on our Patreon covering every team - if you're not part of the Members Club, it's 90% off your first month at the moment! www.patreon.com/posts/final-...
I've expanded on these initial thoughts on Patreon after a second trip trackside to conclude the first half day of running, if you're part of The Race Members Club: www.patreon.com/posts/video-...
Early trackside impressions not to be read into too much beyond building an initial reference point for the week. I liked how the Red Bull looked, strong front end, especially being on a harder compound. Hamilton experimenting a little in the Ferrari, which looked good but not quite as consistent.
Good to be back. #F1
The new Red Bull looks just like the old Red Bull. And not in a normal 'evolution not revolution' kind of way. "It looks very similar," the team admits. But will that be the case by Australia - or even the end of the week?

I don’t want to say it’s my only contribution at home but it’s not far off
I’ve left food for Mrs Mitchell-Malm and our son, I’m on my way to Bahrain, and I’m rejoicing at having an empty seat next to me on the plane. Must mean #F1 is back!
What do you want to know from testing?
