Rest In Peace Sir Frank. What a contribution he made to the sport we all love. What a truly remarkable and incredible human being. I’ll never forget the sparkle in his eyes when he talked about the great drivers who raced for him. He adored F1, we adored him. An absolute legend x

Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari! Always thought it would happen one day, finally it will and it seems as early as 2025. Seismic move just as it was when Lewis joined Mercedes and like then I don’t see the negatives. But wow, undoubtedly the biggest transfer on transfer deadline day!

Rest in Peace Murray Walker, a gentleman and a legend in every sense of the word. It was an honour to know you, a delight to spend time in your company and inspiring to listen and learn from you. THE voice of Formula 1 and always will be. Thankyou xx

In a world of hyperbole and sensationalism, Andrea Stella is a rare species that delivers thoughtful, fair and balanced analysis. Oh, and he’s spot on too. Enjoyed that race today, I get the feeling we’ll still be discussing the fallout when we get to Silverstone

"The entire population of the world would know who is responsible except for a group of people. We have so much respect for Red Bull and Max, they don't need to do this." Andrea Stella's words about the incident between Lando and Max 🎙

Thinking of Murray today, a year on since he passed away. Always was and always will be, ‘the voice of F1’. RIP Murray 🎤🏎

Whilst a full explanation of what happened yesterday is always welcome, there are lots of words in this statement. Surely ‘sorry’ should have been first on the list? Such a shame that it wasn’t the first, the last, or anywhere

So my understanding is that whilst the Event notes say ‘drivers must keep to the right of the line’ the FIA Sporting Code states ‘drivers must not cross the line’ Both protests dismissed, but why are @FIA Race Director Event Notes not consistent with the sporting code. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

So it’s an overspend for Red Bull of 0.37%, but an overspend is still an overspend however large or small, surely a benefit must be derived from that overspend. Scrap the minor or major breach nonsense in the future & 10% wind tunnel reduction? Is that really a strong deterrent?

As big news stories go, it doesn’t get much bigger in F1! Christian Horner has been sacked this morning by Red Bull. Laurent Mekies will replace him as only the 2nd team principal Red Bull have ever had. Alan Permane becomes TP at Racing Bulls.

Let’s be honest, it wasn’t a good race & despite the win for Red Bull, the Monaco GP lacked fizz. Can’t all be classics, but it’s such a shame that a classic in Monaco is unlikely these days. That said, congratulations to Max, Carlos & Lando & well done to Seb on a fine 5th too.
