Five back-to-back world championships won by a Belgian - @filipcleeren.bsky.social must be delighted!

What we learned from Friday practice at the 2025 F1 Abu Dhabi GP The three-way battle between Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri will conclude in Abu Dhabi, where the victor will be crowned as 2025's F1 champion. And, as practice shows, it's going to b...

Last #F1 Friday of the year - and here's how it's all shaping up for Abu Dhabi.

Because I'm sure everyone was curious as to what noises I expose my ears...

Behind the scenes from #LasVegasGP FP2 of the marshal reporting a moving manhole cover:

Rewatching Canada 2011, and this pops up during the two-hour-long rain delay.

DC on comms: "He looks like he's got that guy backed into a corner"

Gee I wonder who "that guy" is...

REVEALED - Lando Norris' repercussions for his Singapore GP incident with Oscar Piastri:

How Verstappen tamed the City of Winds to deliver a warning shot to McLaren A display of utter dominance from Max Verstappen at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix led to his second F1 win on the bounce, as the McLaren drivers faltered. But could he factor in 2025's drivers' title race...

I googled "synonyms for wind":

My bit with Oscar is in this week's mag - with a tenuous comparison to a tennis great.

Buy it at whatever WHSmith is called now, or your local newsagents (and feel free to put the other copies on the front row of the newsstands)

What is Oscar Piastri's approach to fighting for an #F1 title? How has he improved since joining the grid in 2023?

All of this and more in an exclusive interview with the man himself!

I wish I could be half the interviewer that Roddick is - this is great.

Thank you! I'd certainly love to in the future, time-permitting - it would take months to do

I believe in a fair and transparent system for teams to lodge protests against genuine wrongdoing, illegalities, and everything that fails to uphold F1's integrity.

I do not believe in teams cynically attempting to change results based purely on conjecture.

Red Bull crying foul after Canadian GP underlined the need for bigger F1 protest fees

Done a bit on Red Bull's Montreal appeal. As you can probably tell, it wound me up a bit: www.autosport.com/f1/news/red-...

PSG cinq, Inter sank #UCLFinal

It would be amusing if the hotel brand became increasingly budget each time it changed hands...

"Out of Mirabeau, and down into Ibis Styles we go..."

I feel like my default is Loews - you can definitely identify fans of a certain vintage by what they call the hairpin...

I might be overthinking this but I genuinely don't know how to refer to Monaco's hairpin in copy. I think we need an arbitration board to decide if it's Station, Loews, Fairmont, Grand Hotel, Leclerc Corner, or Tighty Lefty Roundy-Round.

What we learned from Friday practice at Imola

Crunched the numbers from #ImolaGP practice. Feel free to read it right now. Or whenever's convenient for you...maybe next year?

I swear I can spell my employer's name, autocorrect adding the extra "s" I've forgotten in the rare scenario I've written about United Autosports

I'm hoping there's some in a local WHSmith (or whatever it's going by now) - if you find a few copies, please do feel free to shuffle them to the front!

Penned this week's Autosports cover feature on the situation at Red Bull - the Schrödinger's title contender this season.

How Verstappen recovered from Miami GP qualifying mis-step to claim pole

Verstappen was over a tenth down on his previous best in the opening seven corners of his #MiamiGP pole lap.

Wanna know how he recovered to do the job, and where Lando Norris just missed out? This might help:

"See the boy, five dollars - or call him 24 hours a day on KimiChat"

Problem child or mercurial genius? Red Bull's RB21 is flighty, but can be faster than the McLaren

Honestly believe Red Bull has a much better car than it says it does - but it's making Verstappen work harder to reach the extremities of its performance level.

Here's a bit on that:

Analysis: The compromises involved with Jeddah's lower-drag F1 technical updates

And further analysis - there was plenty of lower-drag updates for Jeddah as teams chased aero efficiency. Here's what's up: www.autosport.com/f1/news/anal...

What we learned in Friday practice for the 2025 Saudi Arabian GP

No real long runs to go on after the #SaudiArabianGP red flag in FP2, but there's a few things we can read into it:

Nightmarish - and the amount of faffing! 15 minutes later out of Haneda purely because a woman couldn't find space for the FOUR bags she brought on board...

Grumpy opinion: I genuinely believe people should only get to take one piece of hand luggage on board a plane - and it should only be backpack sized.

The amount of time lost to people trying to stuff their little wheely suitcase into an already full overhead bin is wild...
