Twenty-six years ago, in the qualifying session for the 2000 Japanese Grand Prix, #Schumacher and #Hakkinen were trading lap times like boxers trade blows. #KeepFightingMichael grumpykerb.substack.com/p/th…

The fuck is Verstappen's setup? A roadrunner when it rains, a tortoise when dry? #BrazilGP

Norris choked hard in 2024, but he never spun in the pit lane exit. #BrazilGP 🤣

In case of rain this weekend, here's a throwback to the old days. Adelaide '89. The conditions were horrible, drivers had been crashing left, right and center in the warm-up. They didn't want to race. What advice did Bernie Ecclestone have for them? #F1 #RetroF1

True. English media hate team orders when Ferrari applied it, even during a title fight. Now, they want it even when there's no WDC fight.

Verstappen is complaining about the downshifts, which means he is winning by 12 seconds on Sunday

Random #F1 fact: there has been no race in which the grid started and finished on full wet tires, since Bernie Ecclestone left the sport: 2016 #BrazilGP

Yeah. Schumacher had a non-compete clause 'cause the British media have been saying so. Therefore, it must be true.

Ralph, mate, your brother had a literal non-compete clause in his contract and had his teammates giving up their victories for him. Sit this one out.

If you add the number of maiden race winners in the 2010s and 2020s, you'll get the exact number of drivers who did so in the 2000s. #F1

Replying to @GrumpyKerb
People talk about Austria, but later that year in Hungary, Italy and Indy, Michael slowed down to Rubens win.

McLaren is an enigma. Their upgrades used to be bullseye 2023-2025. How have they fallen from being the benchmark to mediocrity?

Dall’aggiornamento portato a Baku, Verstappen ha potuto fare nettamente più punti di tutti. Questo fa capire il tenore della sfida verso il 2027, anche la Ferrari é cresciuta, in termini di perfo complessiva. Una tendenza inaspettatamente al ribasso per McLaren. Verstappen 116 Antonelli 88 Leclerc 78 Hamilton 68 Russell 39 Norris 35 Piastri 24 #AutoRacer

To the surprise of no one, Hamilton and Verstappen won the most races in the hybrid era. #F1

WTF? #F1 had a speed limit in #MexicoGP ? Just when I thought that these regs couldn't possibly be more Mickey Mouse... the-race.com/formula-1/the-s…
How a 'stupid' speed limit stopped Mexican GP overtaking

How a 'stupid' speed limit stopped Mexican GP overtaking

Formula 1 drivers have got used to many quirks with the 2026 regulations, but the Mexican Grand Prix exposed one that Lewis Hamilton openly labelled “stupid”

This championship felt underwhelming, even if it vindicated my belief in Antonelli's talent. #F1 grumpykerb.substack.com/p/it…

Given his starts on Sunday, he should try his luck in a casino.

Front page of La Gazzetta openly trolling Ferrari now Italy has a new drivers' world champion. Tagline under the photo says: "Kimi Antonelli is a Formula 1 world champion. Thanks to his talent, his car and not having raced for Ferrari"
