Who is that one sadsack down-voting the BBC post about Bearman getting Driver of the Day? 🤣 He did brilliantly.

Virtual Safety Car... which is saving Leclerc and Bearman nicely 😎 Looks like Sainz has pulled off track. #F1 #MexicoGP

Piastri has got past George Russell and up to 5th position. 10 laps to go, but I don't really want him to get past Bearman. That would feel mean. #F1 #MexicoGP

Driver of the Day voting is open on the #F1 website. Just saying... 🐻🐻🐻

More pit-stops... as if we didn't have enough drama already! Take a bow Haas - brilliant pit-stop for Bearman. #F1 #MexicoGP

And now Nano is retiring from the race 😭 #F1 #MexicoGP

Seriously, nobody do *anything* that might jinx Ollie Bearman #F1 #MexicoGP

Penalty for Sainz now, in this case he's been speeding in the pit-lane. 5 seconds as standard for that one. And Hulk is out in the Sauber 🥺 #F1 #MexicoGP

So now the Verstappen-Hamilton incident is being investigated - the one that happened *before* the one Lewis has already been penalised for... F1 stewarding is bizarre to say the least 😩 #F1 #MexicoGP

Owwww..... 10-second penalty for Lewis, apparently leaving the track and gaining an advantage in that mayhem... when Lewis didn't have any other option, because Max was forcing him off. So where else was Lewis meant to go? That seems very harsh to me. #F1 #MexicoGP

Lawson is out. And Piastri is battling with Tsunoda, but can't get past him. #F1 #MexicoGP

Chaos!! Bearman passes Verstappen! And Max looks like he's out of control - and not bothering with corners. #F1 #Mexico

Piastri has lost places at the start... not what he needed. And why am I not surprised that Stroll and Lawson have had incidents? Lawson has damage, not sure if the two collided or what happened there. #F1 #MexicoGP

"The Chain" is in my ears 😍 Let the drama begin... #F1 #MexicoGP

Has everyone got their snacks ready? Had your pre-race comfort break? Could be some drama at Turn 1 in Mexico, so you don't want to miss the start. I would love to see a Ferrari podium today. Especially if Lewis can get it. #F1 #MexicoGP

This x infinity. Discovering Spanish-language music in my mid-teens inspired me to study the language. Which helped me survive severe depression in my late teens and early 20s. It gave me something to hold on to. Something I was good at - despite what my brain tried to tell me back then.

If you're in the UK, don't forget to put your clocks/watches etc back an hour before you go to sleep. (Yes, I still have old-school ones that need adjusting).

And the BBC coverage cuts out while they're doing the last part of Lando's interview...

Norris being a party-pooper... Good lap by Lewis though to get up to 3rd behind Charles. Piastri only 8th - behind Sainz and Antonelli. #F1 #MexicoGP

Leclerc provisional pole!! 💪 #F1 #MexicoGP

Tsunoda out in Q2, along with Ocon, Hulk, Nano and Lawson. #F1 #MexicoGP

Lawson has scrapped his second attempt in Q2 and still has no time on the board. Could be tight for him to get a proper lap in... Meanwhile Hadjar is up to 4th. #F1 #MexicoGP

What did the Haas drivers have for lunch? 😮 And Hadjar being top of the times... 😎 #F1 #MexicoGP

First laps of Q1 and Alonso is pretty much a whole *second* faster than team-mate Stroll. Says everything. #F1 #MexicoGP

Drama in the Brentford v Liverpool match - the ref had to be substituted at half-time due to injury. Although he is fit enough to be 4th official for the second half. Not often you see the officials getting injured.

I have set my Fantasy #F1 team for the weekend, and used the Wildcard chip to make more changes than I had available. Crucially managed to keep within the budget cap. As ever, apologies if I have just utterly jinxed those teams and drivers for the rest of the weekend 🤣 #MexicoGP

As much as I like to see a variety of teams doing well in practice, it does cause headaches when trying to pick your fantasy #F1 team for the weekend 😂 Although it's dinner-time now, so I can use it to consider my choices.

Lewis. Hamilton 💪 I think it's fair to say Ferrari look fast today. #F1 #MexicoGP

10 years ago, I was attending my first U2 concert 😍 An amazing experience for the most part. Apart from collapsing from dehydration near the end (the O2 Arena stewards were not handing out water 😬 ). But that aside, it was fantastic. And this photo shows how close I was to the front.

I've got online in time for FP3. Given that the clocks go back overnight here in the UK, I will need to double-check times for the race, quali highlights etc in the morning to make sure I don't miss anything.

Just starting FP2 and Antonelli's got a technical gremlin already 😮 His car's putting itself into limp-home mode. #F1 #MexicoGP

Getting ready for FP2 from Mexico. Thankfully the neighbour appears to have turned their music off for the night, so I shouldn't have anything disturbing the F1.

The neighbour has moved their music out into the garden. At least now it doesn't feel like the bassline is shaking the walls.

Yes, we were all waiting to see how long it would take Benson to mention Alonso in his list of top drivers 😂 #F1 #MexicoGP

About to start FP1 from Mexico and the one neighbour has his music on so loudly that I can hear it over the radio commentary, even though I have headphones on 😩

I see what you did there, Geoff. At least you've got clothes on in that photo 🤣 🤣🤣 (If you recognise the film cast from the previous photo, it makes sense).

Sharing for any local friends who haven't filled it in yet. As someone who regularly uses it, it's going to be a pain in the backside when it goes at the end of next month. And will inevitably cause even more workload (and hassle) for pharmacists and GP practice staff who are already stretched.

OK, I've done my coursework for the day and been sensible. Time to run off to Middle Earth and carry on building up my newest character. Who has also started a kinship. That'll be an experiment in itself as I've never tried running one before 😂 #LOTRO #LOTROfamily

Max has missed crossing the line for his second run in Q2 😮 Although his first run might be good enough anyway. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

Hulk couldn't quite replicate his mighty performance from Sprint quali, out in 11th in Q2. Lawson, Tsunoda and the two Alpines are also out. But Ollie Bearman *is* through to Q3 🐻 #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

Aww, there's a fly that's got itself trapped in the bottom of my cup 🥺 I have a cup of milk by the computer, have drunk most of it, but the poor fly got stuck in the last little bit. It initially tried to swim, but now it's not moving 😭

End of Q1... and Albon's lap has been deleted!! We thought he'd got through with a late flyer, but it's been taken away for track limits 🥺 So Albon, Bortoleto, Ocon and Stroll are out, along with Hadjar after his crash. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

Aww, Isack Hadjar has crashed in Q1 🥺 #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

That was chaos... and chaos for my Fantasy team as well 🤣 Now time to get some dinner and hope everyone can repair their cars in time for quali. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

10 second penalty for Bearman for the incident with Antonelli - which will drop him out of the points. And I will be astonished if they don't give Stroll a penalty for hitting Ocon. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

More drama! Ocon and Stroll have collided - Safety Car is out again. Stroll making an over-optimistic dive, hits Ocon and both are out. Double DNF for Aston - and now they'll be racing to repair Stroll's car for quali later on. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

Damon Hill makes a good point on 5 Live - McLaren won't get the tyre life data etc that the other teams are picking up from this sprint. That could hinder them a bit for strategy tomorrow. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

Ferraris also bringing the drama... This is so good, I might well stay up and watch the highlights in the middle of the night, then watch the sensible-time replay tomorrow morning. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

Carnage at Turn 1 of the Sprint! McLarens and Hulk caught up in it. #F1 #AustinGP #USGP

I've set my Fantasy #F1 team for the rest of the weekend. A reminder that the deadline on a Sprint weekend is the start of the Sprint race, so you've got just under 2 hours. As ever, apologies if I've just jinxed those particular drivers and teams 🤣
