And get rid of China too. Replace with Imola, Mugello & Nurburgring

Been scorching hot here today. I welcome the thought of a nuclear winter.

Harder to get out of #F1 than it is to get in

Remember it like it was yesterday.

Is John Hinckley Jr. still around?

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994-2004, following six young adults-Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe--living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers and personal growth over ten seasons.

Ironically how now p*rn is just a click away (or so I've been told), there would be outrage if a similarly liveried #F1 car was to appear today. Anyway it's still better than any current F1 livery IMHAHO.

I thought about a decade and a half ago that the camera manufacturers had missed a trick. As soon as smart phones came along they should have added direct internet connectivity to cameras to be able to share photos like you would with a phone. I think Samsung were the only ones to try it.

Could have won in 82 as well if he'd had reliability. Then again with a turn of fate Mansell could be a 4 time champion too.

That was a particularly pretty car. BT52 & RE40 in the same season how lucky we were. At least Patrick Head tried to balance things out by inflicting the FW09 on us before season end.

Yes stop the nonsense that is Drive to Survive. Without reading the article I can only presume that's what it's about.

I love women of every nationality, colour and religion. It's just their boyfriends I have a problem with.

11 things we learned from F1 2026 pre-season testing Three tests, 11 days of running, and Ferrari fastest by almost a second. But what did we really learn from the F1 2026 pre-season?

Now there's 11 teams The Race has expanded their lists likewise

Also if it mixes things up a bit that might not be a bad thing

I'm keeping an open mind. F1 teams are naturally tenacious and I reckon they'll figure how to optimize all these new systems by the time the lights go out in Melbourne

I love Norwich. Actually the whole of Norfolk. Thankfully a lot of it has managed to remain relatively unspoilt, possibly because it's not a throughway to anywhere else. Stayed at Wells Next the Sea when I last visited in 2023. Stunning.

Yes one thing I love about Cambridge when I go back and visit is how you can get literally anywhere by public transport. I grew up in Arbury Road so town was a short bike ride or a not too strenuous walk. Here we're dependent on our cars.

Well I spent my first 20 years in Cambridge and the last 36 just outside Durban in South Africa. I'm actually uncertain if ones hometown is where their from or where their at?

Love seeing your paintings of my hometown

Actually I was thinking of the wrong race. It was 2002 and ChatGPT says it was 0.011 so Monxa 71 still beats it and like you say it (US 2002) doesn't count anyway

Hi Matt, is this finish still closer than the attempted dead heat Ferrari tried at Indy in 2005 I think?

I dunno. They dumped Williams at the end of 87 after achieving both titles with them. I felt that was a bit harsh considering Williams had basically taken them from zero to hero from 1983 to that point.

We need to be kinder to humans, the animals, and the Earth.

It really is that simple.
