@HillF1 Agree completely; I think history and the story of Senna has given Prost an unfairly raw deal - perpetuated more recently by the doc and the Netflix series (good as they both are).

@HillF1 Been watching the Prost documentary this evening on BBC iPlayer, with my lad (and he keeps missing things while I interject with what I think are really interesting pieces of backstory).
Rousing a lot of memories of this era of the sport.

Renault footage of Ayrton Senna & Damon Hill's 1st test of the 1994 season on Jan 19, Estoril circuit, Portugal. These images, accompanied by the Brazilian national anthem, were to be part of a major documentary about the Brazilian star who had recently joined the Williams team.

CASINO was released 29 years ago this week. Based on the real-life story of the mafia's Las Vegas infiltration, and one of the most popular films of director Martin Scorsese, the behind the scenes tale will wash away your sins... 1/47

@SkySportsF1 Great analysis by Ant but at the end of a great weekend of F1, everyone's talking only about the stewards...
What a waste of an opportunity.
English
@HillF1 They either need a hard and fast rule, if such a thing can exist, and stick to it rigidly or simply not bother.
Because, as you say, it looks like inconsistency otherwise.
English
I'm not convinced the Stewarding was consistent in that race. But Lando went deep to pass and did so off track. That said, Max did not give him room on the exit and barged him off the track in turn 1 lap 1. The rules need to be better #f1

Formula One History@F1History1950
1996 โ A 20th GP victory. #OnThisDay 28th July, Damon Hill secured his 20th Grand Prix victory with @williamsf1, matching the career tally of Michael @schumacher, by winning the 1996 German Grand Prix. Although this marked @HillF1โs seventh win of the season, it was not an easy feat. A poor start put him behind the Benettons of Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger. However, a superior strategy allowed Hill to overtake Alesi. When it seemed he would have to settle for second place, Bergerโs engine failed three laps from the finish, handing Hill the victory. Bergerโs French teammate, Alesi finished second, while Canadian Jacques Villeneuve took third in the other Williams-Renault. With this victory, Hill extended his lead over Villeneuve in the 1996 Driversโ Championship to 21 points, with five races remaining. Hill went on to win the Championship. #f1 #formula1 #OTD

I reckon that #Verstappen's race engineer @redbullracing should be awarded a voting slot of F1.com/vote. He certainly deserves some sort of recognition for what he's put up with today

George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and Lando Norris make up the all-British trio locking out the top three positions on the Silverstone grid ๐ฌ๐งโ๏ธ3๏ธโฃ

Question for @f1 - why do decisions, over whether a safety car is required, seem to take so long to make?
They shouldn't impact the race order every time.

@F1 What's the difference between a car left here (at the end of a straight), for double waved yellow flags, and a car left in the exact same position for a VSC?
English
The fact that it has happened so little just adds further weight to the theory that someone fixed it, to set up the @f1 championship final in 1997.

@waddledogie @TheBishF1 @Motor_Sport @diagonalcomms I came here to ask exactly this! It was great to hear from Ron around the Monaco GP and I'd love to read his autobiography.
Always been a massive fan of his and he must have some great stories / his side of some famous tales.

#HappyBirthday Ron Dennis, 77. I worked with him at McLaren for years, & I got to know him well. Is he difficult? Yes, he can be, but he can also be absolutely brilliant. Above all, heโs extremely loyal. I wrote a @Motor_Sport column about him. Click below.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/singlโฆ

Let's talk about that drive from @AlishaPalmowski.
With bent rear suspension and a tyre that was visibly pointing in the wrong direction (!), she still salvaged ninth place.

@karunchandhok @Motor_Sport Aside from Harry telling us (during Free Practice, in reference to Imola '94) that he was only born in 1997, I thought the two of you were great in the commentary booth ๐

@Motor_Sport You forgot to mention the size 16 feet!! Most important factโฆ.

David Croft will be out of the Sky Sports F1 commentary booth this weekend at Imola, with BBC 5 Live commentator Harry Benjamin stepping up to call the racing action.
