I wish as well as a ‘next day’ delivery option there was also a ‘just have it sent by royal mail’ option. I’d happily pay a couple of quid more to receive my parcel by the only competent delivery service operating in my area.

Okay, that’s it. Summer was nice, but I’m ready for it to be over. Cold again please.

Probably exactly why he was chosen. This is Helmut and Jos’ circus now - presuming, of course, Max stays.

Yeah, Jos’ machinations to increase his influence at Red Bull are definitely all a part of this calculation. Unlikely he’d have that same influence at Mercedes, where it’s very much Toto Wolff’s show. But perhaps the Verstappens think Red Bull is a lost cause now? It’s all very Game of Thrones.

Or maybe it’s all a coincidence and some fresh allegations have surfaced.

That they didn’t wait until the summer break is what has me thinking it’s a part of a move to stop Max triggering his exit clause. Either as part of an agreement with the Verstappens, or as a desperate gesture.

I usually find F1 silly season fun, but for some reason this year it feels kinda seedy? No matter what, a very good driver is going to get screwed over. #f1 #formula1

Yeah, that was fun. For some reason this all feels kinda seedy.

Either Horner going is a condition of Verstappen staying, or Verstappen is leaving and Horner’s lost his job over it. Surely.

Perhaps then a result of losing Verstappen. Or god knows. This is a particularly messy silly season.

A condition of Verstappen agreeing to stay perhaps? Or the Red Bull board getting twitchy now Horner doesn’t have Mateschitz to shield him.

I’m pissed off. I’ve made a lovely chicken casserole. It was a beautiful, golden, mustardy brown. Then at the last minute I decide to add some mushrooms that need eating up and the little bastards have turned my casserole GREY. What the hell is this??

I genuinely think I’m more made up for Hulkenberg than Norris. 🇬🇧 #britishgp #formula1

The terrible behaviour of his fans isn’t really Colapinto’s fault, but whenever he screws up I think about all those death threats Jack Doohan’s family got because he dared to occupy this supposed wunderkind-in-waiting’s race seat first.

I absolutely hear this, but I cannot fathom the mindset of “what the UK really needs is the left-wing vote split FOUR ways!” Defect to the Lib Dems or something.

I should love McLaren’s Silverstone livery, because it pays tribute to my favourite McLaren look. But like… I wish they’d just recreated the Vodaphone livery rather than this weird halfway house. #formula1 #f1

The news about Diogo Jota has floored me. What a terrible loss. His poor brother too. God, that’s awful.

Just want to point out that no version of events, including the one admitted to by Sean Combs, shows Sean Combs as anything but a violent abusive narcissistic druggie. Or, in modern terms, a celebrity.

If you watch old vox pops compared to newer ones, it’s striking how much better people used to be at talking without saying ‘umm’ all the time. I honestly don’t think the internet is to blame for this one, because you can see the change by the nineties. I wonder what happened?

The whole ‘Mercedes thinks Max will guarantee them the title in 2026’ angle is quite funny if you consider the last time they were that cocky was just before the no-sidepods debacle. #F1 #Formula1

I’ve just seen someone say that Ferrari is F1’s equivalent of Manchester United and… the immensity of that burn is incredible. #Formula1 #F1

I genuinely think fan service is, nine times out of ten, the killer of good storytelling.

I’m really not surprised that Meghan 2.0 is struggling so bad compared to the first one. I really think the creators put way too much stock in all the internet memes and failed to appreciate that most people who saw the first one were horror fans, not campy cunty robot fans.

Every single political faction on social media *regularly* rewrites history and makes stuff up that their perceived enemies never actually said, and yet every single group is simultaneously convinced they never do it and it’s all those other people actually.

I saw that on the broadcast! If I’d been sat at the hairpin watching that trailer on repeat for hours and hours I would’ve hated the F1 movie with a dark passion by the end of it.

The real sport couldn’t be more gross with product placement, so I’m not surprised. I understand the main female character sleeps with the driver, which is so disappointing considering how hard women fought and are still fighting to get taken seriously in F1.

I’m so torn. Sounds like the racing scenes are great, but it’s a bit ridiculous if you know anything about F1. I’ve seen it described as TG Maverick with cars, but I really enjoyed TGM as a bit of dumb fun. I probably will see it, for the fun of spotting the real people and places if nothing else.

Forcing a bunch of already cranky people stuck for hours in an NHS waiting room to watch the political news shows instead of Sunday Kitchen is perhaps not this hospital’s shrewdest move.

Everything I’ve seen about M3GAN 2.0 suggests to me that the filmmakers have made the fatal mistake of listening way too much to the fan discourse. Never a good idea for any creative project.

Nobody looks good in a flat cap with the exception of old men in rural locations, and the cast of Peaky Blinders. That’s it. And the latter had a lot of careful styling by a professional wardrobe department going into it.
