Happy Birthday Perry McCarthy, former @F1 & @FIAWEC racer and the @original_stig on @BBC_TopGear.
Perry entered 9 GPs with the ill-fated @AndreaModaGP team, dubbed by many as the worst F1 team in history, never making the grid.

Thank you, Tim Johnstone, for your truly lovely letter in the latest issue of #MotorSport. I try very hard with everything I write for that great 101-year-old magazine & website, & it’s very heartening when those efforts are recognised. 🙏

Perry’s story is mad and it couldn’t happen in today’s F1 because Andrea Moda wouldn’t get an entry. Which is why this is such a brilliant listen. Enjoy! #F1BeyondTheGrid podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f1-…

@realbrajole Well, we've already had one - Lella Lombardi. She was much better than the car/team allowed her to show. Re the future ... yes, I'm certain we'll have women racing in F1. Talent is out there but as with all of us, the trick is finding a way to make it all the way to a great team

Well, here's my Good Friday memories from '84. Reigning 'Star of Tomorrow' Formula Ford Champion but my day ended a little earlier then planned. Broken back and fractured neck but I always use today to remind myself I'm a lucky boy. Happy Easter everyone!

@Welshracer @original_stig Nah, he only broke his back and his neck, walked away and took a paracetamol just to be on the safe side

My old friend Pel certainly made a name for himself back in his early days, perhaps not for the reasons he would have wished for. He bounced back though and made it all the way to F1. Never give up. Never give in. Never say die. #f1
