Most years, the eventual #F1 World Champion has a 'champions drive' that stands out from everyone and demoralises their closes rival(s). Pretty sure that was the case last weekend in Italy with Kimi Antonelli. That win was worth two #SpanishGP wins.

I was going to say that race summary write-ups would at least be straight forward today, but getting up to the word count would probably prove to be tricky. #SpanishGP #F1

Cars sliding around all over the place! Softest possible compound in F1 + 53 degree track temperature + long medium speed corners = mistakes are very easy and mercedes have this far from sewn up. #AustrianGP #F1

There is a very serious point to be made here on a mere football organisation publicly pushing such politicised interpretations of global diplomatic deals and talks.

It's a slippery slope if referees start to describe fouls on the mic to the crowd. Using the word careless is unnecessary. Keep it clinical and just say foul. #CHEFUL

In my mind the one thing that the US should take from Trump take 2 is there should surely be more checks and balances in American democracy to stop these cruel acts. Not only against the rest of the world but their own people

Horner said Lawson would thrive "on tracks he knows". So why drop him now?

Red Bull's shock decision to fire Liam Lawson after just two rounds reflects more badly on the team than the drive.

Giedo van der Garde's assertion that Red Bull's treatment of Liam Lawson feels like bullying feels pretty accurate right now #F1

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Red Bull need to take accountability for their own mistakes. What happens now if Yuki Tsunoda has poor results? Immediately promote Isack Hadjar? The 2nd Red Bull seat and the environment around it is the problem and everyone knows it. #F1

000

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Using Yuki Tsunoda's temper and percieved immaturity as a reason not to promote him to Red Bull at the end of last season rang hollow when we hear Max Verstappen being very outspoken and angry pretty regularly. It's even more hollow now. #F1

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Seems like Liam Lawson being dropped for Yuki Tsunoda is all but confirmed. Questions over Red Bull's management of it's drivers intensifies further. #F1

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Liam Lawson could have tested with Red Bull last season when they were considering promoting him. Despite all of the problems Red Bull's second drivers have had, they decided not to. The management of Red Bull should come under scrutiny, not Liam. I feel very sorry for him. #F1

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

The post-race interviews and cool down room are a part of modern F1 but it does take some of the raw emotion out of the podium celebrations. I'd get them on the podium asap and do all of that afterwards. Have them jump around on the podium like the old days. #oldmanmoan #ChineseGP #F1

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

As Albon has described, as the season goes on and Red Bull fine tune the car even more to Verstappen's tastes, it gets even more difficult to find confidence in the car as his teammate. I can't see the gap between Verstappen and Lawson getting much better. #ChineseGP #F1

Sam Brown @sam-brown.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

I can see Yuki Tsunoda being in a Red Bull before the season's end. Helmut Marko might need to eat some rare humble pie first though. #ChineseGP #F1

There weren't many characters that summed up F1 growing up like Eddie Jordan. He was proof that having a personality in what was a much more sanitised paddock at that time was possible. Thinking of all those who knew him today.

This is surely a litmus test for any world leader to prove they are a decent human being. Call out Trump and rally around Ukraine. It should be the easiest decision you are ever asked to make.

I may sound like an old moaner but Spa not being on the F1 calendar every year bothers me. I'm glad it's there at all but that race is so important to the fabric of the sport. I hope this isn't a gradual departure away from F1's valuable history. #F1 #Formula1

I've been looking into the weather for this year's Qatar GP. We all remember the damgerously oppressive heat the drivers faced last year. Logan Sargeant had to retire as it made him too ill. Ocon was sick in his helmet towards the start of the race. Russell said he felt like was going to faint.

The fickleness of football is silly. Yes, Manchester City look ropey right now, they are argubly without their most important player and they are 5 points behind, but it's November and they've won 4 titles in a row. They are there to astound us, it's what they do. How can anyone write them off?
