I like that it's the Canadian GP that Netflix is making available for free and not one of the three US races for its American subscribers. It doesn't hurt that I have a real soft spot for that track. #Formula1 #F1

The 2005 Formula 1 season, a year of the sport in transition; the last year of V10 engines, Schumacher/Ferrari dominance coming to an end, the baton being passed to Alonso and Raikkonen and a goodbye to Jordan GP and Minardi. Ends with a crazy Chinese GP and Alonso's car on fire on Parc Ferme. #F1

I finished rewatching this season today (more thoughts to follow) but you have to hand it to 2005 in that the two races AFTER the championship was decided were all-timers. #Formula1 #F1

I only post about F1 since this is a F1 account, but Canada vs US in the Women's Hockey is truly gripping stuff. #Olympics #WomensHockey

Lewis Hamilton in that practice start was quite something. #F1 #Formula1

So to sum up this first week of testing; Max isn't happy, neither is Fernando and Lewis, Lando says shut up and just be rich, Mercedes says Red Bull are the ones to watch, while everyone else suspects Mercedes is sandbagging, and it finished with a not-very-good practice start. #F1 #Formula1

Ted Kravitz jumpscare on F1TV? #F1 #Formula1

Living in Northern Ireland, it was custom to switch over to RTE whenever ITV went to one of their MANY ad breaks.

At least they're younger than Fernando Alonso.
I imagine Colton Herta will replace one of them by 2027 once he's amassed the necessary Super License Points.

I like that Cadillac is downplaying what to expect from them for their first year. It would be so easy to play into the hype of their arrival and go the BAR route with extravagant claims and hype alongside the split livery. #F1 #Formula1 #CadillacF1

There's a part of me that would love to see an F1 team do something off-kilter like that split livery today just to see the reactions.

Seeing so many comparisons to BAR'S 1999 livery and I am so here for it.

The ultimate culmination of Stallone's attempts at making an F1 movie but not being allowed to.

I too had it on DVD.

I wish they'd gone all-out with this type of asymmetrical design.

Elegant and classy, plays into the vibes of Mercedes and late 90s/2000s-era McLaren. It's very nice, but ultimately a safe choice in terms of color and vibe. #F1 #Formula1 #CadillacF1

Let's get that T-pose going I guess.

This will forever remain a relationship in F1 I will be fascinated by. Horner, for all the beliefs we have about 2nd drivers at Red Bull and what Perez said recently, genuinely wanted Riccardo to remain within the Red Bull driver system. #F1 #Formula1

It might have taken five years, but I feel like Mercedes and the PU controversy that's slowly developing is Toto finally getting a chance to fulfill his threat at the end of the 2021 season of Drive to Survive. #F1 #Formula1

2001. Alonso, Raikkonen AND Montoya join the grid. At first glance it looked like Montoya and Raikkonen would be the eventual threats to the Schumacher/Ferrari dominance and yet it was be the newcomer at Minardi that was going to be a handful in the years to come. #F1 #Formula1

Better late than never, I guess. Joking aside, I'm glad that the FW48 is up and going. Here's hoping it's smooth sailing from here on out. #F1 #Formula1

The 2005 San Marino Grand Prix, an intense and enthralling piece of F1 that saw Michael Schumacher on spectacular form, going from 13th to 2nd, and hunting down front markers Jenson Button and eventual winner Fernando Alonso like a shark hunting prey in water. #F1 #Formula1

My next Lego Speed Champions project, brought to you by the Academy Awards. #F1 #Formula1

It also featured one of F1's most controversial moments.

The urge to say something cruelly humorous about this is hard to fight, but here's hoping it's a better season. #F1 #Formula1

The red looks amazing. The white with the HP logo? Not too sure about that. #F1 #Formula1 #FerrariF1

Wait, there's a F1 version of Letterboxd? How did I not know this. #F1 #Formula1

I feel like I might be in the minority of opinion here, but I rather like the zebra thing going on here. #F1 #Formula1 #MercedesF1

The 2004 German Grand Prix has a tremendous battle between Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso that's a classic piece of edge-of-your-seat racing, although it's made very humorous by knowing that this moment resides in their future. #F1 #Formula1

Horner's firing, Papaya Rules, Lewis's horrible first year at Ferrari, Isack's first podium, Max's red mist moment against George and subsequent championship comeback fight, and Kimi Antonelli's own comeback after a horrible mid-season. Looking forward to this I have to say.

Nothing has aged more than James Allen on the 2004 German GP commentary talking lyrically and majestically about Lance Armstrong's career and achievements. #F1 #Formula1
