11:19 on Tuesday April 21st, over Africa

Had a phone appt with the docs yesterday. On my birthday. The first thing they always ask you to do is confirm your date of birth. Not even a flicker from the doctor. Anyway now I have these antibiotics that are 4 a day, 1 hour before or 2 hours after food:

A stunning start to the 2026 season for our client, the BTCC 🤩 The BTCC enjoyed brilliant opening rounds at Donington Park last weekend, with all three new cars crossing the line first 👀 Make sure you catch up with all of the action via the BTCC YouTube channel 👇 www.youtube.com/@OfficialBTCC

You look up the word 'cool' in the dictionary and it has a photo of this guy. He's just so so cool. Dang. Look at him. Just. Wow.

McLaren junior leads the way in British F4 as BTCC support series begin at Donington Park

Yesterday was so fricking awesome I now want to go and watch racing all the time. What a RUSH.

BTCC Donington Park: Sutton storms to final victory of opening weekend

Theo Palmer's F4 car just after it was recovered

Disappointment for Max at the Nurburgring 🙃

Time for F4! Got excited seeing all the cars earlier 😄

BTCC Donington Park: Ingram stripped of win

Update from the Nürburgring: Max made two extremely bold passes and went from third to first, had a pit stop, and then did something as yet unreported and broke his front splitter, causing a 28-minute repair

BTCC Donington Park: Ingram reigns supreme in season-opener

Well this paid off since we just met Anthony Hamilton!!

You guys this is my first ever time at a racetrack, never mind a motor race, I'm BUZZING

I don't really know if it's considered acceptable to wear an F1 hoodie to a BTCC event but it's the only motorsport merch I really have so it's what's happening I guess I tried to keep it tenuously relevant by wearing a Ferrari hoodie, since Nic Hamilton's bro...you get it.

Unexpected invite to go to BTCC at Donington tomorrow, pretty sweet!

BTCC Donington Park: Rowbottom gives Plato’s team a debut win after Ingram penalty

F1 Academy champion Doriane Pin had her first go in F1 machinery this morning at Silverstone. She drove Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes W12 from the 2021 season. #F1

Unexpected invite to go to BTCC at Donington tomorrow, pretty sweet!

Ugh ugh ugh I'm so anxious and miserable. I just want to run away from everything. I'm at that stage where I long to be other people, who don't have to sit with this kind of anxiety and uncertainty.

NEW: Was Bearman right to question Colapinto’s role in his huge Suzuka crash? Did Franco Colapinto contribute to Oliver Bearman's crash at Suzuka? He changed his approach to Spoon curve in two ways on lap 21. More:

#OnThisDay 30 years ago, in Brazil, Damon Hill achieved a significant landmark: his 15th #F1 GP win. Why significant? Because it took him ahead of his father Graham, who won 14 F1 GPs. 2nd was Jean Alesi, 3rd an unhappy-looking Michael Schumacher. The 4th man is of course Pelé.

Will Max pick off #F1 journalists one by one? 👀

Been back in the studio after the Japanese Grand Prix 🎙 👀 Max Verstappen's bombshell admission about his future. 💥 Ollie Bearman's crash and the rule changes F1 needs to protect drivers. 🟠 McLaren's strong early progress. ➕ Much more on the latest episode of Pit Lane Torque.

It was a state-of-the-art circuit, drawing celebrities, concerts and an Evel Knievel record attempt - all under the Californian sun. But, writes @thebishf1.bsky.social , the Ontario Motor Speedway hosted just one #F1 race before the bulldozers moved in go.motorsportmagazine.com/4sKJbud

Some interesting differences in Colapinto's approach to Spoon curve on the lap Bearman crashed trying to pass him. He made his first downshift several hundred metres earlier than he did on every single previous lap: www.racefans.net/2026/03/31/w... #F1 #JapaneseGP #RaceFans

Interesting breakdown of the issues here by Chris Medland. I agree the negativity from drivers impacts the fan experience, and is part of the reason for such low scores from fans. We’ve seen it a lot in NASCAR where drivers are very vocal when they don’t like something about the cars.

F1 is not all about speed, it's about the senses

The reasons behind Rovanpera’s surprise Super Formula withdrawal#SuperFormula

Tonight is Sundaying extra hard because going back after annual leave is extra crappy and racing is finished for ages. Bleghhhh.

Damn the confetti cannon absolutely assaulted Palou!

Last 5 weekends: 4 IndyCar races and 3 F1 GPs. Next 5 weekends: 1 IndyCar race and 1 F1 GP. Long Beach is 3 weeks away, Miami is 2 weeks later.

Damn, you wouldn't want to get out on those marbles, huh? Have these guys even got tyres left? Chunks of rubber everywhere

Will Buxton can really do this narrative thing, I'm not even much of a fan of Graham Rahal and dammit, now I want him to score that podium too

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

I mean, yeah, he did stop, I guess, he's not wrong. Stopped quite hard and violently, though. He didn't just stutter to a halt.

I mean it didn't. Did he have a crash? No. Did he get a puncture? No. Did he have mechanical failure? A bad pit stop? No. Yeah, he had a bad start, and he got unlucky with the safety car. It's race 3 though. Championship, schmampionship.

Drivers who won multiple races as a teenager in Formula 1 history: • Kimi Antonelli End of list.

Here's a crazy stat - Sunday was the first time since 2012 that a race in Suzuka ended with 3 different teams represented on the podium. 🏆 Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) 🏆 Oscar Piastri (McLaren) 🏆 Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

I love the idea of getting Jack Black to do an introductory video but yeah it was bizarrely long

The FIA noted "the contribution of high closing speeds" in Bearman's crash and said it will look into whether rules changes are needed during April: Any potential changes "require careful simulation and detailed analysis", it added. More: www.racefans.net/2026/03/29/f... #F1 #JapaneseGP #RaceFans
