Your Benetton F1 shirt was much appreciated. All period costumes count double at a Grand Prix!

I sure do… and I am sad that Schumacher’s Monza 2003 numbers have been beaten, as that record had been in the book since the first season I worked in this job. It was the stat I was proudest about putting on-air on SPEED Channel, as most other networks had not thought to check it…

Hello everyone on BlueSky. Clearly i've not been maintaining my social media garden... but i've taken to answering any/all questions on my Instagram Stories, if you want to find me as virtualstatman over there as well :)

The first *world championship* season was 1950. The first race run to F1 rules was in either 1946 or 1947 depending how you measure :)

I’m not at the F1 movie world premiere in NYC tonight but would like to point out that I have worked on the last 438 consecutive Grand Prix TV broadcasts in the US and have lived in the US full-time since 2007. Some of us were doing F1 in America long before it was fashionable…

Wow Dave, you’ve been through the mill. You have to let me know if you’re coming to Silverstone, it would be amazing to meet you!

I’ve become so bad at social media haven’t I? I used to be prolific and now I’m swamped with so much to do that it kinda falls by the wayside. Sorry folks.. I promise I will come back to it eventually!

There will be no remnants of the Grand Prix, but you will be surrounded by the setup for the Monaco Yacht Show which uses the same space on the harbour

In case you wondered what Monaco looks like eight days after the Grand Prix

Here's a fun picture. My NBC colleagues in the hotel bar after the #MonacoGP back in 2013. Among them are two people who would go on to be the lead announcers for the #Indianapolis500 on US television, neither of whom were born in the US: Leigh Diffey (2018-2024) and Will Buxton (2025)

I'd also like to acknowledge our longtime F1 colleague @willbuxton.bsky.social on the biggest day of his professional life, calling the Indianapolis 500 for FOX. Hope it's a great one :) #Indy500

We're finished in Monaco. Indianapolis, you have the ball #MonacoGP #Indy500

POLE for Alex Dunne in Monaco #F2 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

That’s Monaco set to elite level difficulty

It’s a hard life. I mean SOMETIMES it’s a hard life… #MonacoGP 🇲🇨

Another win for Alex Dunne and Ireland in Formula 2 today. This time I came to the track prepared 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 #ImolaGP

Dan Ticktum gets on the Formula E podium with a team that has not been up there since 2018. Love him or loathe him, you can't take your eyes off him. Why can't he be in F1, I've said for years that the guy is absolute box office :) #TokyoEPrix

🇨🇭 Switzerland - 12 🇩🇰 Denmark - 10 🇩🇪 Germany - 8 What say you? #Eurovision

EUROVISION! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

So pleased to see Crystal Palace win the FA Cup, especially for my neighbour in California, a lifelong Palace fan who flew overnight to London to go to Wembley and see them win it today!

It was nice of Ferrari to commemorate what is likely to be the last Imola F1 race by missing the top ten completely for the first time in Imola history #ImolaGP

ICYMI on my Insta, I’m wearing a hefty neck brace at Imola following a second spinal fusion surgery last week. It looks way worse than it is, I actually feel great #ImolaGP

Public service announcement: If Lewis Hamilton doesn’t wear sunglasses indoors, it means you are not cool enough to wear sunglasses indoors, especially in the evenings. Take the bloody things off.

Carlo Ancelotti obviously fancies Aston Martin’s chances in 2026

In hospital for my third spinal surgery in three years, this time to remove a compressed and prolapsed C6/C7 disc that was close to hemorrhaging completely and was severely restricting the movement in my right arm, a problem I’ve been hiding from everyone at all the Grands Prix so far this season…

43 years ago today I was in the Zolder paddock as a (young!) paying spectator when Gilles Villeneuve lost his life - I had tried to get his autograph before qualifying, but he ignored me and went into the Ferrari garage. Here's a pic I took at Silverstone in 1981:

Amen to that and to them. What incredible service to their nations and to freedom across Western Europe

While Ollie Bearman was being born in Chelmsford!

Ollie Oakes leaves his role as Alpine team principal just days after overseeing their victory in the Lego car race at the Miami Grand Prix

I received this as a gift at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. It is so nicely wrapped that I don’t want to open it… maybe I should though?

As a hospitality MC, I love being able to converse with fans of all ages and experiences. This weekend I spent time explaining F1 nuance to fans at their first race, but also had a great chat about early 1970s F1 races at Mosport Park and Watkins Glen with two older fans who were there!

The last time McLaren finished 1-2 with everybody else at least half a minute behind was nearly 18 years ago (Monaco 2007, Alonso/Hamilton) #MiamiGP

Live view of everybody else racing McLaren today #MiamiGP

BBC website out here confusing tf out of casual F1 fans #MiamiGP

I’m very sad to hear that Jochen Mass has passed away, aged 78. An #F1 GP winner (Montjuïc, ’75) & a #LeMans24Hours winner too (’89), he was a fine, versatile driver & a lovely man. Pic: 4th at Monaco, where he was always quick, in ’77, in his trusty McLaren M23. #RIPJochenMass

The guests were cheering and booing like it was a real race! Everyone got so invested in it 😂

I just commentated on this LEGO race during the Drivers’ Parade in our hospitality space and it was unintentionally one of the highlights of my career 😂 #MiamiGP

I've reached 8,000 followers here in Bluesky. Hi everyone... so sorry I keep forgetting to post things on social media but I DO read what you send to me, I promise!

Only if they're discounted by 50% :)

Multiple locally-based friends tell me this is the first rain they've seen for months... and it falls today! #MiamiGP

Absolutely nobody planned for rain here this weekend. We have guests and fans in summer clothes all getting drenched #MiamiGP

The Formula E television broadcast is giving us some amazing angles during qualifying this morning :) #MonacoEPrix

They do, but Antonelli is still younger than the youngest GP polesitter (!)

Kimi Antonelli is the youngest-ever polesitter in any race format, beating Sebastian Vettel's Monza 2008 record by over 2 1/2 years. By amazing coincidence, Antonelli was born on the day Vettel made his F1 race weekend debut in the 2006 Turkish GP as a Friday practice driver for BMW Sauber #MiamiGP

We hated doing that show! It was always such a chore in terms of production

Damning with faint praise, haha :-D

My algorithm came up with this image this morning. Myself, producer Justin Kircher, Will Buxton, David Hobbs, Steve Matchett and Leigh Diffey in our days doing F1 on NBC from 2013-17. We were doing F1 on American television long before it was cool :)

One question that has always nagged me: Why are US based teams asked about running American drivers? The question was asked of USF1 before they failed to reach the grid, then the same for Haas, and now for Cadillac. Nobody pressures Aston Martin to run a British driver, or an Italian at Ferrari

If I were Cadillac i'd want Checo and Valtteri Bottas, all day long. Years and years of experience in title-winning Red Bull and Mercedes teams. Does anybody disagree?

Shout out to anybody who sneaks in an absurdly expensive watch and/or ring :)
