Thanks
@LewisHamilton
to initiate, and thanks all GPDA members to turn up to show respect to one of the greatest, to one of our directors, and ultimately to our sport (which Sebastian Vettel loves so much). too bad it was a great evening as well !
#GPDA
Can’t get enough of each other 😂... another evening all together for the GPDA end of season meeting, also to say "see you later" to Mick, Nicolas and Daniel, and of course to make a special presentation for Sebastian

my observation on Vettel rejoining: his helmet moved to look into mirror only after steering correction! that he slid that far is laws of physics. No space for Lewis is name of game with street tracks. What happened to

? Was it sketchy? yes! a penalty? not in my view
Post Jeddah Rule adjust suggestion

:
If a driver elects to give position back before DRS dedection section, he shall not be allowed to use DRS thereafter.
Aim: Eliminating sketchy tactical slowing downs leading to unfortunate "misunderstandings & situations"
RIP Niki ! 😰 Today a true hero left us! Thanks Niki for the inspiration you have been to so many, for the directness you have always applied, the amazing speed & fighting spirit you had. We will miss you, but never forget you. My condolences to Niki's family and friends. 😢
“Female racing drivers” - simply a mirror of society, in my opinion. If we get more dad’s bringing their girls to the kart track, and not mostly boys, we will have girls making it to the 🔝for sure (I believe). The stopwatch doesnt know your gender, age or looks.

: being handed a concord ticket on Wednesday in London by Flavio and told that I will race that weekend... he told me sitting on his sofa dressed in a leopard silk bathrobe 🙈
from now, on every cloudy day we need to ask us if it is Ken doing some brun outs up there or just a simple cloud.....
RIP Ken Block. my condolences to his family and friends...

#JulesBianchi
😢 My dear friend Sebastian Vettel said recently about our Charlie Whiting, more than suitable for you and many other: "one is only really dead when the last one to remember you is gone" we driver will not forget you! for our sport, our safety & your legacy
On the championship deciding day, to put it on pole, lead the race, master the incoming drizzle on slicks, to pull away after safety car to win , thats it, thats now CHAMPION
@WurzCharlie
! Well done son 💪
Oh 😥 RIP Murry Walker. Murry, you commented on my dad and myself and perfectly knew how to pronounce our name... and my wife Julia was more excited to have a picture with you as with Brad Pitt! Your voice is F1 and will remain so! You are a legend!
what does one treat the wife with for the 20th wedding anniversary ? 🤔... ah yeah perhaps spa visit ? ... so, today on the 20th anniversary my ever superstar of my cool wife, she is off to Spa 🤣🤣 with one of the Wurzis kids for race weekend.
enjoy "the" Spa honey, love you !
Shared the first of these 9️⃣2️⃣ record braking
@f1
victories with the master of all classes. Just amazing, inspiring and so
@lewishamilton
!! Lewis, you are THE racing benchmark now, on and off the track and still you rise. Very impressive indeed... and more to come
A key moment why our industry went away from high/steep kerbs. After: a generalisation process delivered "flat kerbs" (good but not thought thru at the time). After we all shouted about tracklimits. After we brought sausage Kerbs and guess what: we fly again. we can do better❗
just saw the shocking and sad news about
@lxznr
heavy crash. what a man you are Alex, you won so much, you went through more then we can imagine, yet always positive. Alex, go and win this fight ! the sport world is sending you all our energy, love and prayers !
THANK you also to the Racing Officials and the Marshalls of all racing events around the world. Very simple: without you there would be no racing ! The backbone of racing and the drivers safety
The reason FIA started to removed high exit kerbs brings us to Imola 1994... I dont like sausage kerbs, never did and today in F3 here in Monza we had yet another reminder that they are (in most places) a bad solution.
Canada memories: 1.Late notice Concord flight to my first
@F1
race (obligatory crash with wall of champions in qualy😂, in race retired in P4😤 ). 2.Start flip(gone for a gap which was not there) 🙃, but restart with spare car from back of grid finish P4 🤜. 3. My last podium 🥉
Nice job son ! Pole, win and championship lead Down-Under in Kiwi Land after 6 from 15 races. Keep the head & food down and just enjoy your competitive car and the cool racing in NZ! Many

Maybe i am turning old (school) , but this is a AUDIO & VISUAL Entertainment i deem as cool... and could we remove MICHAEL‘s pole for tracklimit T1 ...
I’m v proud to have been with you, on both sides, in & out of the car. Thank you for just beeing ‘Williams’, an truly authentic brand, team & lifestyle thru the highs & lows. But i must be honest, how it ended for the Family leaves me sad and sentimental, simply because i love u
Thank you my friend to have been such important part of

last two decades! F1 will miss you, but the racing world remains lucky to keep you, your talent and determination! A honor and pleasure to have, and still work with you.

check out the speed of the Monaco Marshalls waving yellow when Hughes crashes in F2... impressive reaction. those Monaco Officials are the target and role model for all Officials around the globe. thank to all marshalls of course, but this is a prime example of excellence.
For me the Miami
@F1
Grand Prix was a good race! If you think different you might be in a grumpy mood, have Hollywood expectations of the sport or perhaps not have had the right commentary to explain you every lap about the split second importance of each of those laps...
Shocking news from Vienna 😨😰. Ich bete fuer die ganze stadt und jeden einzelnen 🙏🏻 und danke an die einsatzkraefte die ihr bestes geben. Alles gute meinem Bruder Christoph der in einem restaurant unmittelbar im einsatzgebiet fest sitzt, der polizeilichen aufforderung gerecht

Hi Jennie, its is not about "being unhappy with media time spend" , but suggesting a more efficient use of the time for the Media and the drivers. We in this together! Aiming for a better output and seeking the dialogue on what we think could be optimised.
F1 Drivers are unhappy about the amount of time they are spending doing media commitments. Their days are now longer than before on Thursday's and Friday's and they would like this be looked at with so many races this season.
#F1
struggle to hold back on speaking out publicly about matter of sausage kerbs, why we (sill) have them & why nothing seems to be done. fact: they are, and have always been an ill born concept. How many more shunts, how much more injuries we have to witness ??
#NoSausageKerbs
Today, 18 stella years ago, my world, my star, my oxygen, my storm and sunshine became my wife ! Luck me ! Love you wife
@juliawurz
astronomically ! 😍💝
another Canada memory: after deforming this car rather efficiently, I run back to pits, to take spare car, lined up on back of field at restart, to finish 4th in the 1998
@F1
Canada Grand Prix. one of many P4 this season...
I am so gutted with my flight cancellation today, as I missed the memorial for Sir Frank Williams. 😥. It would've been an honor to stand together with his family & friends today. anyhow, so I did what Frank would have done, gone back to the office and work
