43 years ago today I was in the Zolder paddock as a (young!) paying spectator when Gilles Villeneuve lost his life - I had tried to get his autograph before qualifying, but he ignored me and went into the @ScuderiaFerrari garage. Here's a pic I took at Silverstone in 1981: https://t.co/0VuwyQsO86

On VE Day I'm remembering my father Laurie Cooper, who flew 33 missions as a Lancaster navigator in 61 Squadron, many in QR-M 'Mickey the Moocher' - one of the most famous and longest-serving Lancs (see bomb logos). His Aussie pilot, Frank Mouritz, was my uncle. Brave guys: https://t.co/aLRXxWPn31

James Allison: "We have been bringing upgrades. They're not particularly enormous or sexy, but they've been coming in a steady trickle. There's some that will be more obvious to the outside world in the next handful of races. With a bit of luck, they'll improve our fortunes."

James Allison sums up the W16: "Come the race, the tyres are running hotter than we would wish, meaning that the drivers have to then slow down to manage the tyre temperatures. Obviously slowing down is not really top of the list of things you want to do in a racing car..."

Stefano Domenicali on @F1LasVegas tix: "We've communicated to fans that the price will not be going down from their initial on-sale, helping to drive urgency and momentum in sales. To date, we are very pleased that our sales velocity in Vegas is meaningful, outpacing last year."

RT @tnixon29: @adamcooperF1 @MercedesAMGF1 @pirellisport @GeorgeRussell63 He went off earlier at Luffield. Reversed out. https://t.co/7nhe2…

The battle for @F1's next US media rights deal is ramping up, with the big streaming players in the mix. Liberty boss Derek Chang says "good conversations" are ongoing: https://t.co/QPq1Thi7D3 https://t.co/rQWsO5zKzR

'@MercedesAMGF1 has been in action today on the 2.6kms Silverstone national track, testing 2026 @pirellisport wets and inters. Kimi Antonelli drove the W15 mule car today, and @GeorgeRussell63 takes over tomorrow: https://t.co/aUiAVy0OVN

Liberty boss Derek Chang: "I spent some time with @ZBrownCEO last week, who is probably is one of the more prolific marketers in the paddock, and he was telling me about his plans to sell the underside of his shoe. So we'll see if that happens." I'm told Zak wasn't serious...

Liberty says that @F1's reported income for 2025 Q1 is down, but only because of a different mix of races compared to 2024: https://t.co/Sy7XVDIrOv https://t.co/SvqZRsW4Dl

And here are views from Flavio Briatore and Oliver Oakes...: https://t.co/WXyKsvwntc

'@FranColapinto in and @jackdoohan33 out at @AlpineF1Team did not come as a huge surprise. The team calls it a "rotation". But does the Aussie really have a chance to get back in the car? https://t.co/3tNHl6cguN https://t.co/BYms3N5pOF

It remains to be seen whether Doohan/Colapinto really is a rotation or a straight swap with JD having little or no chance to get back in the car. Past rotations include Brabham '84 (Fabi/Fabi), Ligier '95 (Suzuki/Brundle), Red Bull '05 (Liuzzi/Klien). None worked very well...

Will be interesting to see who fills the hot seat at Enstone. Before Flavio Briatore was introduced to Ollie Oakes he first sounded out former Benetton colleagues, including Pat Symonds, Jonathan Wheatley and Steve Nielsen. Who will be on his shopping list this time?

Ollie Oakes joins the likes of Cyril Abiteboul, Marcin Budkowsi, Laurent Rossi, Otmar Szafnauer and Bruno Famin on a list of departed Enstone bosses. It's starting to look a bit like this...: https://t.co/mPyQI5O4t4

A statement from @AlpineF1Team but not the one we’re expecting - Oliver Oakes has resigned as team principal with immediate effect. Fallout from the @jackdoohan33 scenario?
