So last year AlphaTauri signed De Vries on the strength of one good drive. Liam Lawson racks up four in a row and gets passed over. I don’t get it

The fluidity of the definition of “fair” Max uses is stunning. One year ago, Sergio was the second biggest factor in Max winning the race when he “held up” Lewis and then had to retire (mission done) with no fuel left. I’d hate being this guy’s teammate. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

"Verstappen – the driver who prompted the Mongolian government to request UN intervention for twice using racist language on team radio for which he refused to apologise – has now decided that’s it, Ted Kravitz has gone too far!" Up and down in Mexico: bit.ly/3fhSgdB

apparently people still don't understand this so I'll spell it out: eloquent transphobia is still transphobia considered transphobia is still transphobia polite transphobia is still transphobia hope that helps
You may agree with @JamieChadwick, you may not. But before you pile on, I’d advise reading the article in its entirety rather than reacting to a headline. As always she’s eloquent and considered. Try to word your reactions in a similar fashion. telegraph.co.uk/womens-sport…

Interesting 6 month sports industry stock insight from Nick. Worth reading the thread right to the end… #F1
The sports and media world has been getting hammered on the stock market over the past 6 months. How bad has it been? Here's a thread to show you, as well as 1 sports stock going against the trend. 👇👇

Toto Wolff has confirmed neither he nor Lewis Hamilton will be attending tonight's FIA Gala in Paris. Lewis not attending is a breach of the FIA Sporting regs. Be amazed if the FIA pursue that one given what's happened this week.

My instinct is to disagree with anyone who says #F1 needs this, that or the other new rule in response to Sunday's mess. What it needs to do is enforce the rules it has. If anything it could probably stand to lose a few pages of its vast rule books. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

A lot of not very happy people. And a lot of very happy people. This is a new way of running the sport where the Race Director can make these ad hoc decisions. Its been a bit too 'guess what I'm going to do now' I think. #f1

maybe I’m extremely boring but I don’t find the prospect of “large” crashes on track exciting in the slightest
New Jeddah F1 track is going to significantly reward the brave and accurate. Multiple series of very high speed corners between walls where there’ll absolutely be no small accidents. 27 turns of which about 14 will be recognised by an F1 car, but there’s peril everywhere

I get that Romain wanted to do something nice for his fans, but for the price of a gif of him in his 2009 Renault suit you could actually buy THE suit (signed) 😬
