Chip Ganassi
Chip Ganassi@GanassiChip·
Chip Ganassi Racing and the whole racing community has lost more than a legend — the world has lost one of its most extraordinary human beings. Alex Zanardi was the definition of resilience, courage, and grace. He was integral in shaping Chip Ganassi Racing into what it has become. From the highest levels of motorsport to his incredible achievements beyond it, he showed us all what it truly means to fight, to adapt, and to live with purpose. His strength inspired millions, but it was his humility, kindness, and unwavering positivity that made him unforgettable. He didn’t just overcome adversity — he redefined what was possible. Rest in peace, Alex. Your legacy will continue to push us forward, on and off the track.

@GrandPrixDiary So lucky it didn’t go over either. He was pretty much sideways as he bounced over the kerb.

Now, I know it’s all ‘if’ and ‘but’ here, but if Bearman had gone to the right, front and rear wheels could’ve connected and that Haas might’ve ended up in the stands. Thankfully of course not but at 190 mph many outcomes are possible.

This ridiculous problem with 2026 spec F1 cars is summed up perfectly by Alonso who has said that overtaking is not intentional now but more of an evasive manoeuvre. I also read that Norris overtook Hamilton when he didn’t actually mean to. Bonkers! 🪫💥

@HagertyUK Leather seats. They might be more hard wearing than fabric but they are not more comfortable.

A travesty in two pictures. Which other car ‘improvements’ have been a backwards step, do you think? 🤷‍♂️

@bluebirdk7 His work is currently covered in tape / cardboard or similar. Is this to protect it during transportation?

Barry from Grimsby became K7's steering expert. An excellent engineer from the big oil refinery in Grimsby we often teased him about how slowly he progressed his work but slow means absolutely meticulous where BFG is concerned. We knew it would be right.
