Lucky enough to be able to write - and occasionally talk - about motor sport for a living. One day I'll get a proper job.

Brilliant! That's what it's all about. Thank you so much for posting.

I live in Switzerland and my 9 yr old came home from school with the German-language edition of your Hamilton book. He is sometimes a reluctant reader but he loves this book, so I ordered him his own copy to keep, as well as Verstappen. Thank you for inspiring kids to read 😎

That's been quite pivotal, in fact. Brad Pitt is writing the Foreword.

And then it became the basis for the Sonny Hayes crash in the F1 movie

36 years ago today, this happened. Thoroughly enjoying working with Martin Donnelly on his autobiography celebrating, among other things, the fact that he's still alive to tell a remarkable story. Due to be published next Spring.

Nice piece in @autosport on Uncle Ken @MauriceHamilton Thank you for remembering him. You mention that no one around F1 is like him. Okay but l have long thought that Toto Wolff comes closest. Unquestionably the boss but father figure too and a sense of humour

Domenicali is in danger of being seen as the Infantino of F1. Totally out of touch.

“The people are interested if you're overtaking or not. That's the vast majority of the people." Why Stefano Domenicali thinks F1 fans 'do not care' about battery info on TV graphics ⬇️ autosport.com/f1/news/no-mor…

No more battery info on F1 TV graphics? ‘Fans don’t care about that’, F1 boss responds

Battery information has been vanishing from Formula 1’s TV broadcasts amid criticism of the new rules, but Stefano Domenicali is adamant that’s not what fans want to see

Interesting that @BBCBreakfast Sport mention several sports - but not today’s #F1 Belgian GP., round 10 of 22? Too much of a (not so) good thing?

Enjoyable day at Brands Hatch yesterday working with Deep Fusion Films on Drama/Docu on James Hunt and joining MSV boss Jonathan Palmer. (Just to be clear, I arrived by car...)

Back to Brands. Memories of 1976 British GP - and other aspects of the colourful life (to put it mildly) of James Hunt. Feature/docu due for release in October. #F1

For the avoidance of doubt (to use Max Mosley's favourite phrase on FIA press releases), the black and white @F1 cars with a green stripe you see later today are McLarens. #BritishGP

Whoever was responsible for McLaren’s Silverstone livery needs a good talking-to.

There’s an even better story in David McErlain ( behind the scenes supporter of Tyrrell to tune of several mill $) autobiography ‘Street Fighter’ on how BCE and others tried to sell Ken and his team down the river.

Read this again last week, Maurice, prompted by your post. A brilliant brilliant book. Rush was probably the best racing film. However, ‘The life of Lauda’ is a blockbuster Netflix series just waiting to happen in my opinion. @HillF1 @frentzen_hh @rwilliams1947

The current #F1 cars may leave a lot to be desired but qualifying at Monaco was a classic. All about the driver. Leclerc's save on penultimate lap at first swimming pool chicane. The unbelievably close fight between Antonelli and Verstappen for pole.
