Have we just given up on having wet races anymore? They’re going to be on slicks in a few minutes!
No justification for the #BelgianGP being behind safety car #F1
Littler has missed an incredible amount of double tops in this game #worldmatchplay
Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to block my profile? They don’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was.
What a rubbish race. It’s just so much better at a circuit in the desert, that looks like all the other desert circuits, guaranteed dry weather, pretty floodlights and not many fans to make noise. Don’t need these old backwaters #BritishGP #F1 #SkySportF1
So @RachelReevesMP in Tomorrows guardian refuses to rule out tax rises after the welfare bill capitulation. As it affects us as taxpayers, do we get a say on whether to accept them? #LabourParty #politics
We’ve gone full old school with how internet legends are created! Respect to #HazeyDaze, whoever he is #oasis2025 #principalitystadium
I thought all the Liberati were going to turn up to Rod Stewart to boo? If they can’t organise a boo-ing protest of the like minded, how do they think they can populate the national mood? #Glastonbury2025
The #AustriaGP commentary on #SkyF1 is so much better without that numpty shouting about switcheroo’s it is painful. Now if we had Brundle and Chandok together… what a box that would be! @SkySportsF1 make it happen!
Sorry, what is the problem? We’re not in the EU, and the ink for the label is a matter of pence per item. A clear Brexit benefit, showing our superior food standards… theguardian.com/business/2025/…
I love the guy, but John McDonald really does steal a living at @OfficialPDC doesn’t he?! #WorldCupOfDarts #dartsworldcup #darts
Isn’t a French VAR operative a bit of a conflict of interest given their history in Senegal? #ENGSEN
Everytime a co-comemntator is on @SkySportsF1 that isn’t @MBrundleF1, it leaves me longing for him. After today’s #SpanishGP step forward. @NicoRosberg . That was superb. #skyf1 - also good to see @bernie_collins1 getting the calling out she deserves… brilliant insights
I can remember doing these tactics on games, but never thought I would see real #f1 drivers doing it #MonacoGP
So contrived gimmicks from Liberty haven’t worked at the #MonacoGP . Shock. The solution is so simple for #F1. One tyre change under green or yellow conditions. You change tyres under a red flag, but it doesn’t count. So simple @f1 #SkyF1
I’ve previously found use of drones in #f1 to be contrived - remember that awful one at the Spanish GP a couple of years back. Here it is elevating the coverage. Top work by @f1 and FOM. #MonacoGP #SkyF1
Hasn’t Tom Grennan got three parts to the backing harmonies but only two with microphones? #baftas2025
#BAFTAS I’ve just been forced to watch the introduction. If this is the best of British TV, then how sad that TV can no longer be intellectual, challenge, and inform. Is it still even art?. #BAFTA2025
Simon Cowell could only dream of making someone so famous so quickly #PopeLeoXIV #HabemusPapam
#HabemusPapam the appointment of Cardinal Prevost as LeoXIV is ultimate shithousery isn’t it? Trump is no longer the most influential American on the planet…
