@TheBishF1 @sepangcircuit PS I do wish they would bring Sepang back and ditch one of the ruddy awful new street circuits 😩

Gladsome #MalaysianGP podium pic taken #OnThisDay in 2011 by my good pal Steven Tee, showing a driver I always liked (Nick Heidfeld; 3rd), a driver I always liked & used to work with (Jenson Button; 2nd) & a driver I always liked & also used to work with (Seb Vettel; 1st).

@TheBishF1 @sepangcircuit I also liked all 3 drivers but sadly never got to work with them ☹️. You are one lucky man Matt 😘. I hope you write a book about your time in F1 and journalism one of these days 🙏

@FemalesinMSport I highly recommend her book “ A Different Kind of Life”. One of the best books about F1 that I’ve read 👏❤️

Every April 1 for many years I’ve posted an #F1-related #AprilFoolsDay tweet. This year, with the world in the state it’s in, I don’t have the heart to do so, so instead here’s an #AprilFool.

@JamWaterhouse @AndrewWJHarding Congratulations James and enjoy Paris. Thank you for being our voice in Ukraine over the last few years. Your reporting has been insightful and your honesty very much appreciated 👏👏.

Pleased to say I'll be spending the rest of this year as Paris Correspondent whilst the great @AndrewWJHarding is on sabbatical.
It’s been a privilege to be in Ukraine during this period in its history. I’ve met extraordinary people who i can call friends, and will be back.

#OnThisDay in ’90, at Phoenix, Tyrrell’s Jean Alesi drove a race that has since passed into #F1 folklore, dicing wheel to wheel with Ayrton Senna in his mighty McLaren. In the end Senna prevailed, but Alesi was 2nd & he’d made his mark in only his 9th GP: F1 at its best.

@trussliz You truly are clueless and a traitor to our country. Suggest you relocate to the USA if you love Trump that much. Good riddance!!

@JamWaterhouse You are both great journalists who risk so much to tell us what is really going on in the World, as bad as it is 😢. Thank you 👏!!

To me and countless colleagues Steve has an inspirational role model. I’m delighted for his deserved recognition.

@JamesAHogg2 Thanks for sharing James 😊. He was such a wonderful man 🥰

David Niven tells Michael Parkinson an apparently true story of how he and the actress, Ida Lupino, together with their respective spouses, plotted to get one over on the dreaded Hollywood gossip columnists.
The columnists whose Christian names Niven mentions at the start of the story are Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper, two rather unsavoury but nevertheless popular hacks whose weekly gossip columns were read by a combined audience of 75 million people in a country of 160 million, which is bonkers when you think about it.
Good day.

@TheBishF1 @Motor_Sport You are very welcome Matt 😊. The world needs more kindness 🙏

No, #F1 isn’t in the guano, but we all hope the technical/regulatory glitches we’re seeing in testing can be fixed. In the meantime my new @Motor_Sport column harks back to ’91, when the world champion F1 car had a V12 engine & a manual ’box. Click below.
