Tough to see the #6HCOTA look so empty. Very unfortunate it was scheduled on the first Sunday of Week 1 in the NFL, plus a rainy race. #WEC

Max Verstappen "unlocking" that #RedBull, he could be back in contention for some complete weekend wins.

Should be an interesting race in two weeks at Baku. With some similar characteristics to a Monza low downforce setup.

Just like '23, '24 Max Verstappen. Converts pole position into a race win, his first perfect weekend at Monza. First since 2019 when Charles Leclerc did it. #ItalianGP #F1 #RedBull

Max Verstappen is all of us on Twitter, "just because of a slow stop?"

re: on McLarens swapping after Lando Norris' slow pit stop. #F1 #ItalianGP
September 7, 2025 at 2:14 PM
Oh, Lando Norris fans are going to be furious about that pitstop plus some conspiracies. #F1 #ItalianGP
September 7, 2025 at 2:09 PM
Max Verstappen is on the verge of being the first to convert pole position to a win since Charles Leclerc in 2019. #F1

Whatever balance he and the team may have found has helped him out greatly so far in the #ItalianGP.

It’s a fair question but I think it’s still too too early to consider moving Yuki Tsunoda off of Red Bull, possible swap for Hadjar. With new cars in 2026, give them all 3 (Lawson including) a chance to prove then. #F1 #RedBull #ItalianGP

🚨Media Advisory regarding the Markham Indycar race

The fact that the announcement is at the Pan Am centre should all but confirm the race will take place in street circuit in the downtown Markham area

What a weekend, what a race from Isack Hadjar. P4 > P3 finish. His first podium in his young career. 👏👏👏

Max Verstappen with another chance to win after the safety car. Hadjar (!) is on for a podium! #DutchGP #F1

A Mercedes power unit that has failed on George Russell and Kimi this year has now struck the McLarens. The first and very unfortunate timing has hit Lando Norris.

Either Charles Leclerc can't go back to the paddock right now or doesn't want to. Cause that shot of him sitting down watching the other cars go racing is crazy. 🤣

A double DNF into a 1-2 finish next week at Monza. 😉

Charles Leclerc did not need to box... but... hindsight. #Ferrari #F1 #DutchGP

Another weekend ruined for Ferrari. Very unfortunate coming out of the summer break. #F1 #DutchGP
August 31, 2025 at 2:14 PM
The Ferrari vs. VCARB battle is a very interesting one. Never thought I'd see the day. #F1 #DutchGP
August 31, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Another week without an F1 race — so we go watch the F1 movie for a second lap.
August 18, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Really tough race for Ferrari. Night and day performance from qualifying onto pole with Charles Leclerc to dropping to P4 on top of the penalty which won’t affect him much. #F1 #HungarianGP
August 3, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Great qualifying from Ferrari and Charles Leclerc, and I guess Aston Martin “brought the right floor” this time, successful runs from both of their drivers 👏

30+ minutes of nerding out on cars, motorsports, and racing tracks, plus Max Verstappen (Maxsplaining). Absolutely goated video from Ford and Chris Harris.

If the reports are true about the rest of the upgrades in 2025 (most likely) - the prospect of going all in, fighting for the constructors this year has failed for Ferrari. The only championship fight left is internal, between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Spa is an amazing track, arguably the best in the world. But maybe not the best for these current #F1 cars. #BelgianGP
July 27, 2025 at 3:58 PM
Incredible drive from the 7x champion. Seemed like Lewis Hamilton made the perfect call to box, first driver to slicks, and managed his mediums pretty well. From P18 > P7.

Lewis Hamilton is absolutely cooking right now on the wet track. #F1 #BelgianGP
