Sky Sports F1 costs £70 every month in the UK.
If you're paying that much money, you shouldn't have to watch adverts in the middle of sessions. Shameful
I don't want to see a SINGLE PERSON calling Logan Sargeant 'soft' or 'weak'.
It takes courage to admit you need to stop, and to prioritise your wellbeing. ❤️
It's only a sport at the end of the day. Making sure the drivers are all safe is more important than anything else. 🤝
"Yuki, are you happy [with life as an F1 driver]?"
Yuki: "Yes, I'm happy! I'm always happy. I like food, I really like food and I enjoy Italian foods, and I'm always able to meet my friends! So yes, I'm happy. Are you happy?"
Worst feelings in F1:
- your driver gets taken out on the opening lap
- when the pit stop goes wrong for your driver
- yellow flags as your driver tumbles down the order
The cheapest tickets for the
#MiamiGP
cost north of $600. Look at how many seats there are in the grandstand compared to the yachts.
They could've easily made the fake harbour into a general admission viewing area for a much more accessible price...
f1 drivers making their merch ridiculously expensive for their fans when they're a multimillionaire anyway kinda rubs me the wrong way ☹️
like there is NO need for hoodies to be costing €120
Let's not forget Yuki Tsunoda had a rough rookie season as well. He was given the time he needed and look at him now - he's thriving! ❤️
Rookies need time!!! Give them the time they need 😭
Formula E had a late race crash resulting in a safety car. The track was cleared with a lap to go, meaning the safety car couldn't come in until the last few corners.
The race finished under safety car conditions. Anti-climatic, but fair.
F1, take notes! 😊
#DiriyahEPrix
⚡
still loads of talk about lewis, but can we also talk about some of valtteri's treatment from f1, mercedes and the fans?? he deserved so much better :(
Did you guys know about Carlos Sainz Jr's full name? 😂
Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro Cenamor Rincón Rebollo Virto Moreno de Aranda Don Per Urrielagoiria Pérez del Pulgar 🤪
I wish we talked more about how Sky is making Formula 1 completely inaccessible to so many people and blocking new fans from getting into the sport.
In the UK it's like £70 EVERY MONTH just to be able to watch the F1 races live. It's horrendous. The fans deserve so much better.
Just heard the new radio from Abu Dhabi. 😬
It's actually.. so messed up. Wheatley instructs Masi to release the lapped cars, and says "... then we've got a motor race on our hands".
Just minutes later, Masi repeats to Toto Wolff "we went motor racing".
Really strange. 😐
So that's McLaren AND Red Bull confirmed to be withholding water from their drivers in the name of weight reduction. I'm sure there are more teams as well.
The FIA need to do something about this immediately - it can be very dangerous if a driver becomes dehydrated mid-race. 😖
I hope Lance Stroll is surrounded by people that can support him tonight. I think he needs to hear some kind words and feel some love.
I've never seen him that frustrated before, and it's worrying.
my thoughts: ricciardo's been struggling for a year and a half now and people are only just starting to think about his position in mclaren, sainz gets a few bad races and people are saying he doesn't deserve to be in f1
so i think ricciardo's been treated very well generally :)
With the
#ImolaGP
happening this weekend, I thought it would be a good time to shine a light on the often-overlooked Roland Ratzenberger who sadly lost his life during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix weekend. ❤️🇦🇹
Give this thread a read and learn more about him 🧵⬇️
Literally all Christian Horner needed to say was "well, Lando did well to get out the way there, we'll see what the stewards say"
But no, we got "LANDO CLEARLY WANTED TO JUMP THE QUEUE!"
Does he ever accept blame/responsibility? 🤔
anyone want to be part of a formula 1 group chat? :)
- fans of all (incl. max & lewis) drivers welcome but you MUST be respectful and kind to others. no hate or driver bashing.
"HaMiLtOn ShOuLd FoCuS oN dRiViNg"
*checks notes*
- 100 wins
- 101 pole positions
- 176 podiums
- Over 4,000 career points
- 26,606km led
- Won 9.5% of ALL F1 races
- 7 world championships
- Leading the current championship
Sure. Hamilton should focus on his driving 😂🏆
I'll never understand why Alex Albon gets so much hate. He's one of the nicest guys F1's ever seen. ❤️
If you dislike him as a driver, fine. But jokes about his kitten dying? Or his mum? That's absolutely horrible.
Some of you forget the drivers are real people and it shows. 😐
Sebastian Vettel was asked about his post-racing career by Attitude:
💬 "Honestly, I haven’t thought about it. I’m 34, not 44. I don’t know how long I’ll race in Formula One."
Sounds like he plans on sticking around! 😊🤞
"During a race, F1 drivers can lose up to 5% of their total body fluids in the form of sweat. This can cause dehydration, which further impacts attention span & motor coordination."
TEAMS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REDUCE DRINK ALLOCATIONS IN THE RACE TO SAVE WEIGHT ON THE CAR!!
This time, can we PLEASE be kinder to Alex Albon?
Mental health is important and a lot of the fans were absolutely awful to Alex when he did anything less than Verstappen.
Nyck de Vries is one of the kindest and sweetest drivers on the grid.
He doesn't deserve all the hate he's getting right now, and I really hope he's doing alright with it all. ☹️
Show him the same kindness and respect he'd show you. ❤️
Here's a question for fans of any driver (Max, Lewis or other):
Do you think that the F1 championship deciding race in Abu Dhabi was fair? 👀
I'm not asking whether Max deserved to be champion or not - I'm asking about the way in which the race played out from start to finish.
Something's up with Stroll this year.
He's obviously never going to be at Alonso's level (few drivers would), but I feel Stroll is really struggling with *something*.
I hope he, can figure it out because he's SO capable of good performances- there's just something in the way.

A lot of rumours today about whether Johnny Herbert will be staying with
@SkySportsF1
or not - and I've got an exclusive answer from the man himself!
#F1
💬 "Not going to be Sky this year unfortunately"
My biggest worry about Formula 1 is the calendar size. Not only does it put team staff and drivers through a LOT, but it also... dilutes the importance of each race.
With there being so many races, every race is less significant, less important - so the excitement is lost.
@redbullracing
Such moments of mutual respect need to be showed much more. I'm tired of the narrative that Max and Lewis hate each other. They're just athletes competing at the very top of the highest level of motorsport. There's a lot of respect there ❤️
I'm glad Uralkali have been pulled from F1 now, but I strongly believe that F1 teams should have tougher policing when it comes to where they get their money from.
Not the first time a team has got money from dodgy sources. It shouldn't have been allowed in the first place... 👀

"I've realised how much I can influence and impact so many people in the world, making people happy brings a smile to my face.."
Do none of you stop and think about the damage you do when hundreds of you constantly pile onto a mentally ill autistic person who genuinely just wants a safe space to talk about motorsport
honestly Christian Horner has made me lose so much respect for Red Bull this season, he has been making several comments that are quite disrespectful or inappropriate in F1 ..
for someone who is supposedly media trained he is doing a terrible job at making Red Bull likeable.. 😑
Personally I don't think it's appropriate to bring Max's father (and Alex's mum??) up in a Q&A question for Max.
I feel like that kind of crosses a line..?
CORDEEL 💀😭
In a single race:
- Black and white flag (track limits)
- 5 second time penalty (track limits)
- 10 second time penalty (track limits)
- Drive through penalty (track limits)
- 10 second stop/go penalty (speeding in the pit lane)
😭😭😭
I saw someone on TikTok saying they'd be disappointed if they met an F1 driver and it was Nyck de Vries..
So I made this little video to show how kind Nyck was when I met him last summer. He is a really nice guy- here's how he made me feel comfortable through the meet and greet!
Says a lot that the two tweets of mine that have had the most hate comments are the two where I am smiling and overwhelmed with joy.
Please know that I am never going to stop smiling, no matter how many people insult me for it.
Nobody gets to stop me being happy. 💪
TK Maxx has just had a load of 2022 McLaren merch come in! 🧡
Prices range from £20 for team shirts, to £40 for hoodies.
Well worth a visit for all McLaren fans! 😇🧡
So according to
@PhilDuncanF1
, Lando has "only slept for a combined eight hours since Sunday’s Spanish GP".
If this is true, he shouldn't be racing this weekend. He's clearly still unwell, and sleep deprivation can be very dangerous when you're driving, especially in a racecar.
