Can it really be 5 years since we lost the great Murray Walker? Yes, he died #OnThisDay in 2021, aged 97. On 10 October 2023, which would have been his 100th birthday, I wrote a #MotorSport column in his honour. ICYMI then, click below to read it now.

Oops. Forgot it was sprint quali
Think of everyone affected by the horrible fire in Glasgow. Hopefully they can get a hold on it before it spreads too much further. Looks like a large side of the building is alight. Always horrible to see an historic building go up in flames.
Now please ask the TV director to show more of them. One suggestion would be to stop showing celebs and family in the garage - I thought we had stopped that nonsense at the end of last season. If you want us to forget that problem then give us more time between seasons.
Not sure why Simon suggested "Lewis isn't happy about the strategy" when Lewis rejected that suggestion when it was out to him by Rachel.
Classic Sky trying to stir the pot and make a drama
It's still dark so I think that means I should go back to bed.
He did 😲
As of Friday all the F1 teams have official accounts on Threads. The official Threads account actually posted about it! Such is the popularity of F1 on Threads 😲
I ignore Threads during the race. There's a lot of irrational raging and/or excessive fan reactions. I actively avoid Threads after contentious races because I spend too much time trying to educate people on the rules.
Now I feel old, because I know Marcus did get some points. Not many, but some!
Did Lance take the chequered flag?
Well done too to Arvid Lindblad, points in his first F1 race. 8th place 👏
Well done George Russell! Takes the win in Australia.
And it looks like the Ferrari is a better car, but possibly still let down by the strategists.
There's been less mechanical failures than I expected
Oscar tells Jennie Gow that he had 100kw more power than he expected.
How does that happen?
Things we love to hear
FFS. Retiring should mean being out!
Or is this a Aston specific thing where they need to give the PU a break mid race?!
And now he's back!
Happened shortly after Fernando retired (the second time) lap 33. I only noticed because he was in the pits for ages
Ollie and Arvid having a good scrap over 8th. The future of F1?
That's more than twice the number of laps that Newey said Lance could manage with risking permanent nerve damage
Lance has been in the pits for a while.
And as I write that now he looks to also retire
Aston Martin retires Alonso's car "to conserve components" #F1 #AusGP
Fernando retires again. Because only he could retire twice
*Barge Boards
Exactly
*Checo.
Predictive text has forgotten his name after a year out
Could be the side bit of the floor (can't remember the name)
Check has lost some front wing
What we don't need as lots of in-screen footage of friends/family/celebrities in the garage
I thought we got past this by the end of last season
