Wild how an ad for a video game has more diversity than the current F1 grid, huh.
(This is the most I have interacted with anything Fortnite.)

A group of attractive avatars dressed in race suits for various F1 teams. I don't know anything about Fortnite, are these actual characters? There's a black guy, a black woman, a guy with blond hair, a woman with blonde hair and several folks with darker complexions.

Something something McLaren strategy something something
A fan holding up a message in the stands that says "Message to Lewis and Charles:: Ignore the strategy call!!"

The guys on hard tyres have found the way to run them while also not putting any laps on them...

#F1 #QatarGP
Screengrab of the timing tower from the Qatar sprint showing 11 lap old mediums for Piastri and Russell, 0 lap old hards for Norris, Tsunoda, Verstappen.

2017 #AzerbaijanGP flashback:
Championship leaders Lewis and Seb had/made their own disaster races.
-Danny Ric won from 10th on the grid,
-Bottas was running a lap down at one point, but pipped Stroll for 2nd on the finish line.
A very smiley image of Danniel Ricciardo talking to David Coulthard on the podium. Danny Ric is being a dork and wearing two caps. The first is actually Max's hat, and the second is the Pirelli victor's cap which he's wearing backwards and overtop of the first.

Everyone but McLaren is midfield.
Hadjar in P3, the Saubers flanking Verstappen.
But, to be a troll, perhaps everyone but Lando is midfield...

#F1 #ItalianGP
A screengrab of the timing tower from FP3 of the Italian GP. Lando and Piastri in P1 and 2. Followed by Hadjar, Russell, Bortoleto, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Hamilton, Albon, Leclerc, Alonso and Lawson.

Monaco: The only place that Formula 1 needs more than it needs F1.
(Yes, I know the difficulties of racing there, but there's a shit ton of money sloshing around in that wee town.)

Super excited for Valtteri and Checo being back on the grid.
But, my big question is will Cadillac let Bottas get his ass out again in his calendar next year?

Smiley pic of Valtteri Bottas and Checo Perez in a first media release for their new race seats next year. The image has "Signed" at the bottom with the Cadillac logo.

The latest Reaper version. Perfect name. No notes.

Alonso, Bortoleto, Stroll and Lawson just in from a successful but rather uneventful Sunday drive.

How the drivers are lining up on the grid....
Yep. Looks legit.

Yea, but how does Gabby get his hair into his helmet?
Not that I'm jealous or anything...

#F1 #BritishGP
Gabby Bortoleto during an interview, holding an F1 branded mic and wearing his Sauber team kit. And on top of his head is a mass of curls, so many they must be breeding up there with plans of world domination.

Here's a snippet from the transcription of the Team Principal press conference at the #MonacoGP. A subclause is bracketed by an em-dash and a comma. I couldn’t read further without sighing my disappointment in a public comment about it.

Was it done by a human? An AI? All I know is it's a crime.

Press schedule for #chineseGP has an interview with Alonso, Bearman and Bortoleto.

Bearman and Bortoleto were born in 2005 and 2004 -- Alonso started teaching in #F1 in 2001! 😂
An abbreviated table showing some of the press schedule. Thurs 20th March at 1230: Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), Oliver Bearman (Haas), Gabriel Bortoleto (Kick Sauber). The next scheduled interview is with Lando Norris, Isack Hadjar and Alex Albon. I feel so bad for Isack having to face the media after how his Aussie race didn't even start, but I think Lando and Alex will look after him.

Driver of the day: Anthony Hamilton

#f1 #AusGP
Anthony Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton's dad, is giving Isack Hadjar a hug. Isack was walking through the paddock being stalked by cameras while looking very much like he needed a hug, and Anthony ambushes the guy with a big hug.

Sky F1 put out a wee video discussing drivers and rookies, and THIS is the image they used for Nico Hulkenberg...
Is Sky suggesting something about Gabby and/or Nico's performance this year?
A screengrab from the video, showing the 2 Sauber drivers in a collage. Gabriel Bortoletto is smiling and composed, Nico Hulkenberg isn't. His expression is confused and surprised, his eyebrows are raised. Concern is edging in as well.

I knew McLaren won the Constructors' championship last year, but I didn't realise they did it with 666 points.
They did have a beast of a car...

An image showing the top 3 of the 2024 Constructors' championship. McLaren is at the top with 666 points, and this is circled in red in the image.

Glad I wasn't the only one struggling with things today.
