10s penalty for gaining an advantage for Lewis Hamilton is fair. No additional penalty points based on penalty guidelines so the time penalty is the sum of it. #F1

When the PepsiCo deal was launched, there were a lot of suggestions the nose in the helmet in the associated video belonged to Daniel Ricciardo. I asked the question and can confirm, it is NOT Daniel, though there is certainly a similarity! #F1

There looks to be some breaks in the weather coming. There's also potential for the schedule to be rejigged if necessary, with sunset locally not until 8pm. #F1

The first step to overcoming an addiction is acknowledging you have a problem. Personally, I see no problem here...! A grand total of 86 Lotus 49s... #F1

Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Jordan. Full of energy and an incredibly influential figure in the paddock, he will be sorely missed. #F1

The worst of the weather is behind us. There's a few isolated patches of rain now, but nothing like we saw earlier. Likely to be wet throughout. This system is moving east (left to right on the radar). #F1

Lots of painted lines. The black paint has a decent amount of grip- more than the actual racing surface according to my scientific 'sliding my foot over it' test. #F1

Organisers in Melbourne had to cancel a pit walk today because of the heat. And so, in its place, they organised for Valtteri Bottas to cut laps in a 1999 BAR. Fair trade, in my opinion. #F1

Australian GP podium hat is amazing. The baggy green has a new rival for best grass coloured headwear in Australia. Might have to pick one up for myself. #F1

Didn't get to Adelaide for the motorsport festival this year, in 35 degree weather, I'm not actually that upset to have missed it! Lots of cool things planned for the future there. Hopefully I'll get back there next year. #F1
