Any app that does that is instantly silenced for me. You had your shot, you blew it, I'll never hear from you again now unless I choose to look.

When I was a kid, I'd spent Sunday's with my grandparents.

When dad would come to collect me, he'd walk into the living room, exclaim "Jesus Christ dad, I can hear that bloody thing outside" and turn the telly down.

Granddad would look aggrieved.

I am pleased to say the baton has been passed on.

Aston Martin: Adrian Newey says Honda engines pose nerve damage risk to drivers Lance Stroll says he cannot do more than 15 laps before risking nerve damage to his hands, according to Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey.

This seems bad.

Thanks SC. Just in a very unhappy place at the moment and my career has always been an anchor.

Appreciate you.

Spent all day at my industry's biggest trade show.

Spent the entire day meeting people who are succeeding, whilst I am seemingly unhireable.

I feel like a leper in my own sector.

Feel drained, angry, sad and frustrated. Invited to drinks but couldn't bear it. Running on empty.

But hopefully the smiles for miles that you get with an MX-5 help!

Big positivity your way, @upallnight.racing. You've got this, and when you haven't, you've got us. Hang in there, mate.

Agree, but I am personally glad F1 hasn't sunk *this* low.

Yet.

Larry got a promotion, a year ago yesterday.

Oh that is lovely. Does she get plenty of (deserved) attention from other passengers?

Love her little bear!
