Niffy little idea on the tube.

@JennieGow Disastrous tech probs for so many teams, particularly McLaren.

@LordAshcroft @DrHelenFry @NAM_London @VC_and_GC_Assoc Great news we saw the collection at IWM last year. Fantastic for others to appreciate the collection.

Delighted to announce I have reached an agreement with the National Army Museum which will mean that my collection of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses - the largest in the world - will go on display there @NAM_London @VC_and_GC_Assoc

@bolderston_mark Couldn’t agree more. Loved the Mexico in blue and white too.

@MJBudzinski You can see the actual flag
if you visit the Sikorski museum in London.

@Motor_Sport @TheBishF1 Loved your interview article about Zak Brown in April’s edition of Motor Sport.
A real insight into the man who slept on a blow up bed as a wanna be racer in Sheffield to him rebuilding McLaren F1 into a powerhouse that it is today.

The #F1 season is about to begin at Albert Park, 30 years since the circuit's first Australian GP. So much has changed from the V10-charged 1996 races, says Matt Bishop: go.motorsportmagazine.com/4raF88O

@CraigEtherton @afneil @British_Airways My thoughts also. We had to pay £120 per seat to reserve our flights to and from Mexico City.
So that’s a further £480 on top of our business class seat prices.

@campbellclaret @alanshearer Admired Scott Parker’s post match interviews of late but what a dignified one he did yesterday. Many managers would have used VAR as reason for the loss but not him. Instead he praised his players and they fight on.
Would love to see that faith translate into PL safety.
English

Made the mistake of watching MotD - the more you see the two VAR decisions the more you worry technology is ruining so many parts of our life! Stealing childhood. Boosting crime. Ruining football. @alanshearer spot on. To take five minutes to decide a “clear and obvious error” is utterly ridiculous. Football is dying.

@HistoryGirlBW Wonderful footage.
How many police officers did you see? Maybe a sign of the times.

@EmiratesGBRSGP Those cats are beasts. You don’t appreciate their size until you get up close and personal. The wings are so tall. Best of luck TeamGB.

We know we have petrolheads from every generation at Goodwood, so we expect the answers to vary pretty wildly. There are no wrong answers here, what was your motoring catalyst? We're pretty sure when the legendary Castrol TOM's Supra flew up the #FOS Hill, many petrolheads were born.

@SilenceInPolish The sacrifices and contributions made by the Polish armed forces was not recognised. An insult to this proud nation who stood side by side with Britain and its allies.

@britishpoles @Anna_M_Anders My 100 year old dad’s sister Jadwiga was one of them. She was 9 years old bless her.

On the night of 9–10 February 1940, around 140,000 Polish civilians were deported into the depths of the Soviet Union.
The forced deportations to “Nieludzka ziemia” (The Inhuman Land) had just begun.
In total, up to 1.5 million Polish citizens, including more than 200,000 Polish prisoners of war, were deported by the NKVD from Soviet-occupied Poland to the Gulag system. These deportations occurred in four major waves between February 1940 and mid-June 1941. Many perished from starvation, exhaustion and disease under forced labour.
Let us never forget them and their suffering [*]

@TheBishF1 @InterlagosTrack That car was a real beauty indeed. I was lucky enough to see the man drive it in many races.

Can it really be 53 years since Emerson Fittipaldi won the first ever championship #F1 #BrazilGP, having returned to his home city of São Paulo as the first ever Brazilian F1 world champion? Yes, it happened #OnThisDay in ’73. Pic: Emmo’s black & gold Lotus 72D was a real beauty.

@PolishEmbassyUK @PLParliament @joannakluzik @GrzybAndrzej @PiotrStrach @aszewinski @Michal_Moskal And there is the big Polish flag 🇵🇱 raised at Monte Cassino in 44.

Building defence starts with learning from the past. During their visit to the UK, the National Defence Committee of @PLParliament explored the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum's extensive collections and gained invaluable insights into 🇵🇱 history.

@sophielouisecc After Bejing it was said it couldn’t have been bettered.
It was. Truly inspiring opening from a great nation.
So proud then. So proud now.
English

@TheBishF1 The fact that Emerson could have won his 2nd world championship had it not been for his boss changing his mind about Ronnie giving his place to him.
That said Emerson’s move to McLaren in 74 resulted in him becoming champion that year.
English

#OnThisDay in ’73, in Argentina, world champion Emerson Fittipaldi kicked off the new #F1 season with a fine start to his title defence, beating the Tyrrells of François Cevert & Jackie Stewart & taking fastest lap en route. Pic: Emmo, Lotus 72D, dolloppo: what’s not to like?
