@F1Photo Awesome driver, awesome car, awesome track and last but not least: awesome photo !

Today marks the 100th anniversary of Sir Jack Brabham's birth! Jack was a true racer, a tiger, vastly underrated. I am lucky to have known him when he used to come and visit at our family house. Photo: Zandvoort 1966, the only driver to become World Champion driving his own car!

@F1Exhibition After London and Amsterdam (2x), this time in Oberhausen. For the fourth time (!), I came face to face with what is left of Romain Grosjean's Haas VF-20. Bahrain, 29-11-2020. It was and remains a miracle #F1Exhibition #F1 #Formula1

Na Londen en Amsterdam (2x) deze keer in Oberhausen voor de vierde keer (!) oog in oog gestaan met wat er over is gebleven van de Haas VF-20 van Romain Grosjean. Bahrein, 29-11-2020. Het is en blijft een wonder #F1Exhibition #F1 #Formula1

Soms twijfel ik wel eens of ik in deze snelle tijd m'n abonnement op @Formule1 magazine zal aanhouden. Maar vandaag niet. Wat een fijn themanummer !🥰👍🏻 #F1 #Formule1 #Formula1

@TheBishF1 @f1dutchgp The Best of the Best !

Jim Clark, who won 2 #F1 world championships & 25 F1 GPs from 72 starts & only 49 finishes (for his Lotuses weren’t reliable), & was a quiet man off track & a genius on it, was born #OnThisDay 90 years ago. Pic: Lotus 33, Zandvoort, ’65, taken by Yves Debraine.

@allardkalff Meer dan ooit verheug ik me op een hopelijk geweldig @F1 seizoen (met nóg weer complexere technologie). En op jouw analyses samen met Kees natuurlijk. Fijn weekeinde !

Welk team komt het best uit de wintertest. Geen idee. Ferrari?McLaren? Mercedes? Red Bull Racing? Het geestige is dat de teams zelf met alle kennis en simulatie programma’s het ook niet precies weten. Wat ik wel zeker weet is dat ik niet kan wachten op Melbourne. Fijn weekend.

@ScarbsTech They were abandoned at the time the Lotus Type 49 appeared. The ones on your picture were featured on Types 18, 21 and 25 (but not on Type 33). Right ?

F1 back to solid wheels! The RBR/VCarb wheel is solid, no spokes/openings As no air exits through the wheel, there's no need for them, so a solid wheel makes some sense. Aside from the carbon aero cover, all you see is forged magnesium wheel. 1st pic @crosaleny #F1tech

@ScarbsTech @visacashapprb Crystal clear ! Thank very much, Craig ! Also for your excellent contribution (highly recommended !) at: motorsport.tech/formula-1/f1-2…

@LuijtRB @visacashapprb They're pointing in different directions for different purposes. The new wakeboards are pointing inboard to create inwash in order to reduce the size of the wake that the car following sits in. In many respects, they are detrimental to performance compared with the old ones

Here's some analysis of the @visacashapprb as seen at its shakedown yesterday. The car's very different to the launch render and features some well resolved aero ideas. Photo Federico Basile (grazie) fbphotoimsges.com #F1 #F1tech

@LastShipMusical @theatercarre Saw The Last Ship last night in Amsterdam, after having seen the early version in Newcastle (2018). Like fine red wine, it has ripened and has come to full bloom now. Fantastic performances by entire cast & crew. Energetic, deeply moving, full of hope and resilience. Thank you !

Opening performance @theatercarre Break a leg, shipmates. ⚓

@AnnelouiseJami1 @RetroGP_Store The World Champion of 1973, Jackie Stewart had retired by the start of the 1974 season. Lotus (World Constructor Champions in 1973) were entitled to carry nos. 1 and 2, team leader Ronnie got no. 1. Emerson Fittipaldi had moved from Lotus to McLaren for '74.

@RetroGP_Store This has me wondering, although he was first rate driver and destined to be world champion in his future. Did JPS just decide to give him number #1?

The 1974 season kicked off at the Argentina GP, with Peterson taking pole. Question: Why was Superswede allocated #1 when he finished 3rd in the Championship the previous year? tinyurl.com/RetroGP-F1-Sto… #f1 #f1gifts #peterson #lotusf1

@Motor_Sport @TheBishF1 "What unites Ramos, Milhoux, Piper, and Ashdown is not success measured in trophies or even fame but participation measured in courage and enthusiasm". A beautiful and poignant tribute, @TheBishF1 !

After the death of Hans Herrmann, just 4 drivers from F1's first decade remain alive. 1950s GP racing will soon slip beyond living memory, writes @TheBishF1 go.motorsportmagazine.com/49i8koO

@_MSchumacher Keep fighting Michael !

29/12/2013 Meribel "I miss Michael every day. But it's not just me who misses him. It's the children, the family, his father, everyone around him. Everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here - different, but here. He still shows me how strong he is every day." Corinna ♥️

@TheBishF1 @Motor_Sport The 1st GP after my birth was the 1964 British GP at Brands Hatch on July 11th. Jim Clark (one of my all-time favorites) scored a Grand Chelem !

South Africa ’62 (pic) was the first #F1 GP to take place after my birth. So, since it’s #Christmas, & you may have some spare time, find out what was the first F1 GP to take place after your birth. It places you on the F1 timeline in a way that’s intimate, humbling & fun! (3/3)

My brand-new @Motor_Sport column has a seasonal flavour - & something of a whimsical one, too. Why so? Well, because I’m calling for a #Christmas #F1 GP, that’s why. Oh & ideally it should take place in Africa. It’s happened before. Click below... (1/3) motorsportmagazine.com/articles/singl…

@TheOfficialAPP @alanparsons Happy birthday ! It was fantastic to see you and the live project band perform on stage, last June in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Wishing you many happy and healthy years to come, Mr. Parsons.

Happy 77th Birthday to @alanparsons!

@f1statsguru Thanks for your great stats during the 2025 season, looking forward to the new F1 era.

Me before Abu Dhabi: Waiting for the season to finish. Me after Abu Dhabi: Realising we’re entering the shortest off-season in 48 years. It feels like the new season’s here already.

@ScarbsTech @F1Exhibition This was nothing less than a miracle. Staring at the destroyed chassis at the @F1 Exhibition on multiple occassions, while the crash footage runs in the background is an experience never to forget. Harrowing, but also a magnificent ode to safety !

I'll bring this post up again, as its now five years since 'that accident'. My look at the wreckage on show at the @F1Exhibition #F1 #F1tech
