This is not Formula 1.

@the_zb_ F1 is the worst it's ever been.

Admirable job by both Ferraris having to battle through the deployment issue. Extremely frustrating… pole was not anywhere in the realm of possibility, but Charles challenging Kimi within 3 tenths for a front row? Maybe. What a time to encounter such an issue, in a car that looks mechanically solid. PU let them down.

@BigJetTVLIVE @VirginAtlantic Amazing news!

A huge thank you to @VirginAtlantic for such a thoughtful gesture! We love you guys ❤️ To give you all an update on how Jerry is doing. After losing vision in his right eye from the first stroke and the use of his left side from the second stroke he is making excellent progress. He regained the use of his left side and can now walk short distances, his vision has returned too. His strength and determination is nothing short of remarkable! He has been transferred to our local hospital to continue his recovery and rehabilitation. The road to recovery that we anticipated from his surgery has got longer but we’ll get him back out there doing what he loves ✈️ Gilly ❤️

💔She’s gone. We took this photo together just 2 hours ago. The hardest decision ever. We did not want that cancer to win, so instead of having her hang on for weeks & have it take her when it burst open, we gave her the best day ever & said goodbye while she could still somewhat enjoy it. I’m absolutely devastated and this is another huge loss. She joins her best friend forever Jake, at the rainbow bridge. We were told to choose a date (before the tumor ruptured) which at the latest would be weeks. We decided last night to say goodbye today, on her 14th birthday. What an honor to spend it with her. We spent the morning making a paw print for her memory, we went for a last walk (she tired after only a minute), we hung out with Jackson, had some birthday ice cream, she had a big chew bone & treats, and I cooked her fresh chicken and vegetables. I fed it to her out of my hand, so that I could be close to her on her final breakfast. When we got to the vet, we brought a McDonalds breakfast sandwich; which she had always wanted, and I also fed that to her. Our final words were how happy she made us, how blessed we were, how much we loved her & that she would meet her Jake at the bridge. We told her how good of a girl she was and that we would see her in heaven. Absolutely lost without her. Life will not be the same. She was like a daughter to me. I lost my only daughter to cancer (she was 30) and Abbey was like a daughter in a way. I work from home & we were together 24/7. There will never be another princess.

👀 Ferrari fastest on race runs… …Dare we dream? #F1

@Mattys123 🤣🤣🤣

Piastri and Norris are driving different cars. That's clear now. McLaren trying to sacrifice Oscar to get Lando the title. Staggering tactics #MexicoGP

@AdamRichman Sabor for Spanish!

So… What are the best places to eat in and around London?

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord Which is precisely why the government will never do it.

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord It's a benefit to the business for sure. The idea is that the money is used for some to survive, others to pay their staff more, some to reduce prices and of course some will benefit from increased bottom line.

The Hospitality sector is being eroded. 1 in 3 trading at a loss and considering closure. 60% have made job cuts already. Pubs closing at the fastest rate on record. We need: NI increase to be reversed. A sector specific VAT reduction. Business rates reformed.

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord That would all be very helpful. As a hospitality operator myself I would welcome all of the above.

@benwashbrook @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord I understand that but what happens when the hospitality trade suffers further cost pressures, do we cut VAT again? Better to support with business rates, cutting regulations & cutting taxes on employing staff.

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord Some small independent restaurants might only be making very small profits. A cut in VAT would really help them. VAT on a sliding scale might be a solution to help those most in need.

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord I wouldn't say increasing prices. It would enable prices to stay the same or some operators might reduce prices. We are working to very fine margins. There would be reduced VAT but the feeling is that more profit would produce higher corp tax receipts.

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord It would however help small struggling businesses, who are not able to break even, with the higher cost of doing business. A VAT cut would almost never be passed on to the consumer!

@agwilliams_uk @Cocolepooch @Sacha_Lord The idea of a VAT cut would not be to benefit the consumer, but the business. I think the government are not keen to cut VAT because it would mean that larger businesses that are turning over millions and making a profit would see a huge benefit to their bottom line.

@wbuxtonofficial It's a shame that Monaco, while being very prestigious is quite possibly the most boring race on the calendar. With these cars, qualifying is the race. Let's see if the mandatory two pit stops makes any difference.

Tomorrow is the greatest day in racing Monacocacolanapolis Buckle up and settle in for a full day of the greatest racing in the world.
