#F1 boffins, can you help me understand something?
Since 2014 drivers choose a permanent race number for their career. So who can explain this?
Paul Aron drove in FP1 for #Sauber at the #HungarianGP under number 97. Then he drove in FP1 for #AlpineF1 at the #ItalianGP under number 61. 🤔

So Piastri hasn’t had the perfect season (off track in Melbourne, crashing in practice in Monaco, that Silverstone penalty), but he’s managed to score points in every round.
In fact he’s currently on a 32 race point-scoring streak, which also happens to be the 4th longest in f1 history. Impressive

@virtualstatman.bsky.social would love to get your view on this. Which year should we consider the first year of F1? Would you say 1946 or 1950?

There’s talk of Christian Horner heading to Alpine.
Given the Red Bull–Renault history and the move to Mercedes engines… really?

#AustrianGP race debrief just landed!
Lando stamped his dominance (remember Last Lap Lando?) and Oscar showed a rare glimpse of emotion on track.
Plenty to chew on before Silverstone 😎

I have a conundrum. The podcast I’ve launched is F1 focused, but I’m not sure how to broaden this to other forms of motorsports without losing listener interest. Also my cohost only has eyes for F1 😆

Does anyone think it was a good idea for Lance Stroll to enter his home race this year? #CanadaGP qualified 18th, finished 17th. #astonMartin could have entered a single car with the same end result

@thebishf1.bsky.social really enjoyed your episode on Mika Hakkinen, but couldn’t help wondering during the 2nd half of the pod, ‘but how old was Mika that year?’ 😆
