@TheBishF1 Donald Trump is more in bed with the tyrants of this world. I think he admires dictators and would happily impose a more authoritarian regime in the US if he could get away with it. The US under Trump is not an ally and never will be.

@StateDept Why parrot Trump’s nasty & imbecilic rants when you know they’re bunkum? NATO is a defensive alliance. Article 5 has been invoked only once, in support of the US after 9/11. The US doesn’t “send billions of dollars” to NATO to protect Europe. That’s not how NATO funding works.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we? Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?

@andrewbensonf1 I think this is disgusting behaviour from Verstappen. Perhaps time for the FIA to step in over this stuff. Drivers shouldn't be able to dictate the narrative in this way. It's a clear assault on the importance of independent journalism.

@SkyNews The way to get an ally onboard does not include insulting them at every turn. If that stupid orange ass hadn't started an unnecessary war then none of this would be required. He is wholly unfit to hold the office of president. He is a joke and an embarrassment.

"We had the UK say - this is three weeks ago - we'll send our aircraft carriers, which aren't the best aircraft carriers, by the way. They're toys compared to what we have." Trump criticises the UK's military support in the Middle East. trib.al/NOPnXzX 📺 Sky 501

@natesaundersF1 I agree. It's extremely petulant and he shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. It was a legitimate question and he has to accept it's all part of the game of being an F1 driver. His behaviour has been indulged for far too long.

No issue with drivers not liking questions - and telling us such. Part of the job is to ask and it's their right to answer how they see fit. But refusing to have a journalist in your media session at all comes across as incredibly petulant

No doubt my view is coloured by being a member of the media, but think this was pretty out of line from Verstappen. Looks pretty bad on Red Bull too. espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/…

@autosport The question the journalist asked last year wasn't even offensive. This is totally childish and the FIA should deal with him. He thinks he's bigger than the sport.

@TheBishF1 @NobleF1 @wearetherace I had to read the article multiple times to try and get my head around what these power units are doing. There are certainly some areas requiring ironing out in qualifying.

@PolitlcsUK It's just a rip-off of the American version. It's not funny at all and they should have left it in the US. I also think the tone of it is all wrong because most Brits agree we should stay out of the war.

@TheBishF1 I'm not sure the Iranians will be concerned about distinguishing between the legal niceties of supporting acts of defence vs offence. I have sympathy for Starmer though. He is trying to juggle an impossible balancing act with a volatile president who changes his tune hourly.

Max Hastings is spot-on in today’s #Times. In a vain effort to appease the unappeasable Donald Trump, Keir Starmer has taken the UK into an illegal war, without asking Parliament, & as a result he’s endangered all UK citizens - a rash, immoral, stupid & totally unnecessary move.

@JackieF1nut @SpannersReady If AMR is what unconventional looks like then it's not a model anyone should be following. The team is a disaster at the minute.

@JackieF1nut AMR are a joke. They look completely devoid of leadership at the top. Newey was announced as TP only last year and there was never a caveat expressed this was a short-term situation.

@piersmorgan It almost sounds like a plea from Trump than a threat. He has lost control of this war and will have to negotiate a way out of it before long. I can't see any situation where Trump walks away from this without looking defeated.

You want the NATO allies to join you in a war you started without ever consulting these allies about the war or explaining your war aims. We’re meant just to meekly fall in line. You recently supported a US invasion of a NATO ally (Denmark/Greenland) but now you want these same allies to join your war. Your president disparaged and misrepresented the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan. But now you want them to join with you again in a war of your making. You went to war with Iran without a thought of how to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and without involving your allies in the matter. But now you want the NATO allies to bail you out, even though there’s still no plan for Hormuz. You want the NATO allies to join you in a war in which you still cannot articulate the endgame. Or what victory would look like. You went to war thinking the Iranian regime would quickly topple, that Tehran would not attack the Gulf States or close Hormuz. Why would we align with such Epic Stupidity? You and other know-nothing blowhards started this war all on your own. You can finish it on your own. If you’re able to …
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.
