The elegance of the Ralph Bellamy/Ray Stokoe McLaren M19A, pictured here at the 1971 Silverstone International Trophy, was matched only by Denny's signature - delivered here by fountain pen - and Michael Turner's original logo. Photo: Richard Windsor

I was a big Rikky fan. Fast, smooth F3 driver who was bright enough to do loads of testing. I totally respected his loyalty to Mo Nunn, too. And how many other F1 drivers had original Warhols in their living rooms? Top Man.

Here I am, just about to take Alain Prost’s Renault turbo for a spin at Ricard. Carlos Reutemann kindly provided one of his helmets for the occasion.

Lovely up here in the mountains. Rally Granada. Dust and car control.

Great to be at Rally Granada today and to watch the very talented Roope Korhonen in action with his GR Yaris Rally2

Hard to beat the artistic beauty of the Sid Taylor/Denny Hulme livery, fonts and graphics. A great example of simplicity triumphing over complexity.

Wonder if this shiny car has gone up in value at all?

I took this pic of my mate shortly after he won Macau in ‘83. We watched the race on TV for while before going into Reading for a bite to eat.

Dexter's a bit confused by all the rain we're having here in Spain. Loves barking at the thunder, though.

Mid-century modern. Pure, simple…timeless.

#OnThisDay in ’76 Hunt won the #USGP after a race-long duel with Scheckter’s 6-wheel Tyrrell, here leading Hunt’s McLaren. Jody led more laps than James did, but James was ahead at the end, thereby closing to 3 points shy of Lauda’s total (65 versus 68). Next came Fuji...

David McKay’s brand new Ferrari 330 P4 V12 Spyder being unpacked after its journey by ship to Australia in late 1967. It would be driven brilliantly by Chris Amon in the support races for the upcoming Australian leg of the Tasman Championship.

Lovely Buick being loaded up for a classic event in Spain this morning

Definitely one of the best-looking #F1 cars of all time. Polychromatic green with flame-orange nose. Hard to beat. Graham Hill saysat perfectly in the car, too. Not too high, not too low. Magic.

#OnThisDay in ’64 Graham Hill (BRM; pic) won #USGP at Watkins Glen - the 2nd of his 3 consecutive #F1 GP wins there. 2nd was John Surtees (NART Ferrari) & 3rd was Jo Siffert (Rob Walker Brabham).

Lovely moon tonight.

Happy International Coffee Day! #colombia #pergamino

... Jim with decidedly broken rear suspension...

I’m sad to hear of the death of Enzo Osella, founder of the eponymous race team, at 86. Osella competed in #F1 throughout the ’80s, before focusing on hillclimbers & sports cars. Pic: the pretty ’83 Osella-Alfa F1 car, as raced by Piercarlo Ghinzani & Corrado Fabi. #RIPEnzoOsella

Congrats to Joss Verstappen on his P3 overall and his class P2 in the East Belgian Rally today. What a weekend for the family team!

...meanwhile, wearing the same livery as Max's Ferrari 296 GT3 - and not too far away from the 'Ring - Jos Verstappen's Rally2 Skoda is currently lying an excellent P4 in the East Belgian Rally.

Perfect evening for an outdoor pizza.

Lovely evening where we are. Ryder Cup (Go Europe!) and Max-at-the-Ring to look forward to.

Having a look at the bays and mountains near us this scorching Sunday. We'll be back in time to watch the final round of the Travelers', of course.

Mind you, yesterday's sunset wasn't bad, either...

#OnThisDay in ’67 Jim Clark won the #DutchGP. So what, you may ask? After all, he’d won it 3 times before. True, he had, but this win was special, for it was the first #F1 GP win for the Cosworth DFV V8 engine. It would win 154 more. Pic: Clark, Lotus 49, DFV, Zandvoort.

Amazing sun early this morning...

...and, what's more, he drove to Zandvoort from Paris that weekend in his gorgeous, yellow, Lotus Elan S3 Coupé. He hadn't sat in the new 49 before practice: all the testing was done in the UK by Graham Hill.

Double gold for the new Pope

Jim Clark lost his life in an #F2 race at Hockenheim #OnThisDay in ’68. There have been other great drivers but none greater. Pic: my favourite Clark photo, taken by Yves Debraine, at Tarzan, Zandvoort, showing him en route to ’65 #DutchGP victory. Such intensity of concentration!

Our audio podcast of the Japanese GP, detailing all three days of the action, is now out on YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.

A gorgeous Saturday evening and we're the only ones on the course.

Had a lot of fun in Andorra last week - and filmed this chat in the famous Two Shots café: youtu.be/_NpaBN0p3pQ?...

A great morning on which to begin our road trip to Andorra.

Bluesky!

So sad to hear that Eddie Jordan has passed away after a brave battle with cancer. He was a Top Man in every sense of the words.

About all I can say is "Good morning!"

The peach blossoms are out. It must be spring.

What a race in Melbourne! Our AGP analysis now also available with Italian and Spanish soundtracks youtu.be/zBaifhh7IF0?...

Some thoughts on F1 Melbourne Friday, with audio tracks in English, Italian and Spanish: youtu.be/21skc-tbZkM

Lotus and Jim Clark did it all in 1965 - Indy and the F1 Championship in the same year. Both badges on the same (late-1965) Elan road car.

Just found this shot I took of Nigel, James, Seve and Lee Trevino at Turnberry a few years back. What a four-ball.

...these guys have a snooze in the gumtrees...

View from my mate's house in northern NSW. If you look closely you'll see...
