The Mercedes was not the fastest car today. The soft tyre was not the fastest tyre for the final stint. @LewisHamilton made the difference today.

Oil prices down 15% overnight, so that means petrol prices will be cheaper today that’s how it works isn’t it

This should be the new rule for every Lewis supporter (me included). Stop having pointless arguments with fans of drivers who have less wins than Bottas.

@alt_w_v_g @Raddy4u 1. Beating them at their own game. Kudos. 2. We are now invested in hearing whether the $75 fine is levied against Karen. Please keep us posted.

Got a letter from the HOA yesterday Actual letter In an envelope With a stamp In 2026 The letter said my trash can was visible from the street for too long on collection day The fine is $50 I checked my Ring camera The truck came at 7:03am I brought the can in at 7:14am 11 minutes $50 That's $4.55 per minute of trash can visibility My therapist charges $250 an hour That's $4.17 per minute My trash can sitting in a driveway is now more expensive per minute than therapy I looked at the letter again It was signed by the HOA president Her name is Karen Of course it is I know this woman She lives four houses down She still has Christmas lights up It's March I know because I drive past them twice a day And because that's what I do I checked the HOA bylaws All 47 pages Section 4.2 says all exterior fixtures and lighting must be seasonal and removed within 30 days of the applicable holiday Her lights have been up for 97 days I went to the HOA meeting Tuesday night 7pm In a church basement Folding chairs Fruit platter that nobody touched Seven people showed up Four of them were on the board The other three were there to complain I was there to read My wife came with me She didn't want to But she said "if I don't come you'll end up on the news" I brought my legal pad Karen called the meeting to order She talked about community standards She talked about property values She talked about the importance of curb appeal From a woman whose Christmas lights are still blinking in March I raised my hand She said "we'll take questions at the end" I said "it's not a question. It's a point of order." She looked at me I opened my legal pad I said "Section 4.2 requires seasonal decorations to be removed within 30 days. Your Christmas lights have been up for 97 days. You fined me $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility on collection day while you've been in violation for over three months." The room was quiet One of the other three complainers said "he's right" The board members looked at each other Karen said "that's a separate issue" I said "it's the same bylaws" She said "we'll review it" I said "I already did. Page 12. Happy to share my highlights." My wife looked at the ceiling Some things never change Karen said "I think we should move on" I said "agreed. I'll move on when the Christmas lights do." Nobody laughed I wasn't joking I paid the $50 Because it's $50 and I'm not going to die on that hill But if the rules apply to me they apply to everyone So I filed a formal complaint about the lights With photos Timestamped Funny how surveillance works both ways The fine for seasonal decoration violations is $75 per occurrence She's been in violation for 67 days past the 30-day grace period I'll let her do the math Or I'll do it for her Because that's what I do Make common sense common again Plz fix.

@nocontextfm1 I've stuck to FM09 consistently and never bought a new version. Now I'm too far off to learn the new game 😆

Martin Brundle's had enough of the Max Verstappen retirement talks.

In Spain, the race at Japan lost 49% of its live audience compared to 2025 2026: 63000 2025: 124000 2024: 137000 2023: 152000 2022: 143000 2019: 48000 2018: 33000

I’d say Abu Dhabi 2021 is the biggest embarrassment but that’s just me

@RobLMyers @hammertimev Is he showing he's the Ricardo Patrese of this line up? 😲

Woody doesn't even make the podium in the mighty Mercedes. Well, well, well... #F1 #JapaneseGP

@hammertimev The "for info" makes it all the more weaselly

Listening to Charles beg for assist in a faster car. Hamilton has no power and deployment issues but Charles asking Ferrari to do his job. If your car is faster then show it. Fans want to see racing, not free passes. Stop begging

@RayyLH44 As soon as Russell dropped behind, Leclerc suddenly started attacking the car in front... his teammate.

Lewis Hamilton completely defenceless with power deployment issue while his teammate saved all his tyres, didn’t put pressure on russell. Ferrari needs to fix this issue. #F1

Why is anyone surprised that a driver who has won his championships with unprecedented FIA interference, a cost cap breach, flexi-wings and a driving style so aggressive it required a total rewrite of the rules of engagement, doesn't take kindly to basic journalism? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

@thanos876 Hadn't realised that Jayy guy was still a thing! Didn't he go off the deep end a few years back?

He can’t really be this fucking stupid!?

I’ll keep taking every opportunity to say it: Lewis’s reaction at AD21 is one of the greatest displays of composure, grace and humility I’ve ever seen. Beyond all the titles, that moment cements him as one of the greatest sportsmen ever.

@FIAsteward @sean82621404 Please don't talk down to Sharl. His full title is the "undefeated undisputed heavyweight head to head champion of the world." Never forget that.

Ferrari insiders claim Charles Leclerc hated his “fun” wheel to wheel battle with Lewis Hamilton in China. Leclerc believes the greatest driver in F1 history should get priority on team orders - with Leclerc believing he has that status after beating Hamilton on points in 2025.

@DeadlineDayLive No debate.

🤔 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘: Should Tottenham sack Igor Tudor?

@TheTechnician44 Yes we are. Championship beckons.

I think spurs are done for…..

@thespursweb Tudor out Enic out

FULL TIME: Tottenham 0-3 Nottingham Forest Thoughts on what you have just seen?

These players are a disgrace. We force them all to stay with us in the Championship, on their 50% reduced contracts. @SpursOfficial
