MBS really just cleaning house over at the FIA. Soon it'll just be a one-man operation.

I find this rhetoric so strange and sometimes downright ignorant. Have people been watching an entirely different 2024 season than me?
Yes, McLaren have had mistakes and the fastest car more often than not since Miami, but aside from a few statement races, their advantage was tiny.

Logan Sargeant watch: He's P1....at an Indycar test.
Joking aside, he got (and still gets) flak for not being good enough for F1. But while that may be true, he is still a very VERY good driver who can excel in almost any other series. F1 may not be his domain - and that just happens sometimes!

While we're on the topic of not normalising Trump and facism, can we tack on 'let's stop giving the spotlight to attention whores and hateful TERFs like JK Rowling" to that mandate?

Was wondering when the racism will unveil itself. Sky Sports F1 is already pretty spotty when it comes to reporting and the like, but keeping Danica Patrick while binning off Damon Hill is certainly a choice.

One last thing, hats off to the women's #1 Iga Swiatek, who was asked about Zverev - even though it has nothing to do with her, women's tennis or the WTA - and she gave a great answer that is miles better than what any of the men did.
In short, keep it up, tennis media, and do better ATP. 10/END

To call all the top pros' responses to the Zverev allegations underwhelming is generous seeing as how every player is saying either 'no comment' or 'no comment'. I'd straight up say that the top pros are not only painting themselves as willfully ignorant, but straight up stupid. 7/

🧵 The big F1 story making the rounds is Lewis Hamilton chatting to Christian Horner about a drive at Red Bull for 2024. This is an example of BAD journalism imo because it's making a mountain out of a molehill that ALWAYS happens in F1. 1/

Yep, this will definitely make things better with all the fans who paid hundreds to see F1 cars for *checks notes* 8 minutes.
