I lost my sister Lisa in the early hours of Monday. Despite Down syndrome, a hole in the heart and other ailments meaning she wasn’t supposed to survive infancy, she lived to see her 50th birthday, and was always so kind, gentle and friendly to everyone. We are devastated 💔

@cxingt $94 for 1.7 miles? The Nice-Monaco helicopter transfer is cheaper per mile than that!

He ended Daniel Ricciardo's F1 career, he beat Liam Lawson in every qualifying session as teammates in 2024 and he scored RB's three best GP results this year. Red Bull should probably sack him because if this isn't sufficient to deserve a chance then he's better off elsewhere

@virtualstatman Haha, your tweets are never dull. Yuki was great for his first 3-5 races in 2021? Something like that. Been erratic ever since

I must admit, I've also questioned that myself. On the other hand, would Tsunoda have reached F1 were he NOT Japanese, based on his junior results? Perhaps that door of opportunity works in both directions

@virtualstatman If Yuki was European, teams would be drooling for him

@thebishf1 @emmofittipaldi @Autodromo_Monza He’s such a good guy to work with, so kind and polite to staff and guests when he does hospitality appearances, signs every autograph, takes every picture, even if it means staying later than planned. Like having your favourite uncle come to visit :)
