That trophy looks very light. Has Donnie nicked the real one?

@S100isleofman Is Mike Browne still touring the various supermarkets ?

@LittleChris62 Capt George Eyston’s LSR Thunderbolt. Was being stored in a NZ warehouse full of fleeces!

@OnDisasters Brian Kreisky was the cameraman who shot the footage from the front of Riccardo's car and shamelessly put it out on his videos. Vile man who got his comeuppance in a light plane crash a few years later
English
This was one of the first videos I saw on the Internet back in 2003 or so.
The description from Syd Watkins - the F1 resident Doctor - is a hard read - likely more than this footage (which, believe it or not, aired regularly on mainstream TV, I later found it on VHS tape about F1).
To make it even worse, it was Paletti´s "debut" (he had started a race before, but with a depleted grid) and his mother was on the pit lane and saw everything unfold.
Formula One History@F1History1950
Remembering the tragic death of Riccardo Paletti, who died #OnThisDay 13 June 1982. A death that overshadowed Brabham driver Nelson Piquet‘s victory at the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix. The race began with Didier Pironi‘s Ferrari stalling on the front row, prompting him to signal the approaching drivers. Although many drivers swerved to avoid Pironi, Paletti, in the Osella, starting from the back in only his second Grand Prix start, collided with Pironi’s stationary car at high speed. The impact caused Pironi’s car to shift left, while Paletti’s car stopped where it crashed, crushing the nose of his car. Rescuers, including Pironi and FIA doctor Sid Watkins, rushed to help, but Paletti’s car caught fire. It took nearly a minute to extinguish the flames and another 25 minutes to extract him. Paletti succumbed to severe chest and abdominal injuries. This was Formula 1’s last fatality until the tragic weekend at Imola in 1994. Piquet’s teammate Riccardo Patrese finished second, with John Watson third in a McLaren. #f1 #formula1

@matoxley MB needs to talk to his equivalents on other channels and get general agree to pointedly ignore these sort of oxygen thieves.

🚨🚨Holy Crap!! President Trump had enough of Welker’s lies and rips off microphone and walks out of interview.
BRAVO!!! We have the best President!!

@EricLDaugh Bloke's a cunt and the sooner he snuffs it the sooner the world will be safer. Then Vance needs to be dealt with. Sort it out USA. Love from England

🚨 OMG. President Trump CUTS OFF and WALKS OUT of a Kristen Welker interview
He looks her in the eyes and tells her SHE'S A LIAR, then storms off!
"The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU'RE CROOKED...let's call it QUITS. I've HAD ENOUGH."
WELKER: Please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin!
TRUMP: "I've sat in the RAIN with you for an HOUR! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO."
WELKER: *Whines*
BEST PRESIDENT EVER 🔥🔥🔥

@matoxley It's a track, admittedly a poor one as most of them are these days, but the fuck up is down to the rider(s)
English
Stupid stupid racetrack - slow and dangerous - a real achievement 🙄
Mat Oxley@matoxley
Deep breath. Fingers crossed 🤞

@gaittman @ttracesofficial Commentary on TT+ said Braddan Dip but since I've never heard of that I assume they meant Braddan Bridge and got themselves confused with Billown Dip 8 miles away in Castletown !!
English
Fingers crossed Mikey Evans is ok. 🤞🏻 Off at Bradden, conscious and talking and taken to Nobles as a precaution.
He was already bruised and battered after his off at Greeba last week in practice.

@gaittman @ZH956 @ttracesofficial Good birching in front of the grandstands first should set an example 😀

@ZH956 I'd assumed it was some Hollywood twonk demanding they not start until they'd finished their 6 course lunch...😉
English
@matoxley Yet they haven't had an F1-champion since 1953. Long overdue.
English
@matoxley Lost a bit of weight I reckon. Perhaps he's thinking of riding a Farquhar tuned FS1E in the Sportsbike class next year !! Seriously though it's good to see how much he puts into the sport and enjoys it

@denkmit Aerodynamics are complex, F1 teams spend millions on highly qualified staff & wind tunnels trying to get them right so you can't expect small sidecar teams to do the same. Power reduction was a good 1st step now they need to look at limits on bodywork eg no Venturi / wings
English
Two years in a row, we've had podium contenders have the exact same crash now - a sidecar flipping over a jump. It's not a nice decision, but it's one that I understand from a risk point of view.
English
@LittleChris62 No, I spoke to someone who passed the scene of the crash twice.
English
Awful news from last night. TT debutant and former Senior Manx Grand Prix winner Daniel Ingram has died following a crash at Doran's last night.
Our deepest condolences to Dan’s family, friends, and team. the-race.com/tt/tt-debutant…
English
@NcaTrump2024 @denkmit It was the Supersport / Sportbike session and people were still finishing their laps when the sidecar session was started hence confusion over the red when mention was made of the incident at Dorans 3.5 miles further down the road from the Crowe accident
English
@denkmit I don't remember superbike Q being red flagged when was this?
