Clearly a step in the right direction (though, creepily, it seems some Conservatives don't think so).

Google search has degraded to the point it's verging on useless to me now, responding to queries with untrustworthy AI slop or videos which are not obviously relevant. Experimenting with rivals.

A lazy grammar pet hate of mine in Formula 1's Algarve press release:

'Taking the chequered flag' means finishing.

'Taking the chequered flag *first*' means winning.

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket.

Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

Australia's social media ban for children makes a lot of sense when you see another tragic story like this.

Social media publishers will not act responsibily and remove dangerous, abusive or false content without pressure from governments.

Niki Lauda famously won the world title by half a point. But now F1 awards far more points, was Lando Norris's championship win arguably closer?

Williams team principal James Vowles trying to claim they've had "three podiums" this year, counting Sainz's third place in the Austin sprint race alongside his two proper grand prix podiums.

You can't equate a top three finish in a one-third distance race with the real thing. Dismal PR spin.

This was a slam-dunk penalty call. Bearman's weaving was the most blatant of the four drivers who were penalised for it on Sunday.

Not the first time he's complained about a clear penalty either. No wonder he's so close to a ban:

Oliver Bearman said he shouldn't have been penalised for weaving in front of Lance Stroll on the final lap of the #AbuDhabiGP as he was trying to 'break the tow'.

He is now just two penalty points away from triggering an automatic race ban:
