Well, I think I'm allowed to talk about it now...

Last year I worked on 28 Years Later.

I worked alongside Anthony Dodd Mantle, who also did Rush.
He told me Niki Lauda was exactly as straight talking as you saw him in interviews and took him on a hot lap, scaring the shit out of him

Bone to pick with Euro Truck Simulator 2. Just arrived in what it calls "Newcastle".
Only its actually Gateshead and you can't cross the Tyne

When I'm king of the world, I'm gonna make them put the house back at the top of Raidillon

Did a summer internship working for a football YouTube channel in Manchester a few years back.
I remember them talking about the "Emienne" and was so confused at why a French newspaper knew so much about Manchester United.

Took a month to find out it was the M E N. Manchester Evening News.

So is the Giants defence operated by AWS and that's why they switched off in the 4th?

Another one of those races that Max shows himself to be levels above.
Give him 8 meters and he'll take 8 seconds

Missed the Bortoleto overtake because we're focusing on a driver who won the race at T1

McLaren 2nd pit stop woes continue

I think Sainz was entitled to room on the inside as he was already significantly alongside.
His car can't just disappear

Verstappen halfway to Mexico already

Has Piastri got the yips?

Have we had the weekly "Pierre Gasly will start in the pitlane" announcement yet?

Gotta be the greatest qualifier in F1 history, right?

Verstappen.

[Complimentary]

Easy diagnosis for the crash. He hit the wall. 👍

First red of many?

GT3s are just the best. Every other motorised vehicle wishes it was a GT3

I don't get why there's only 1 series in the whole world that can't understand racing.
Some pinnacle of motorsport when you get motorsports 101 wrong

Brown slams "amateur" driving in F1 US GP sprint taking McLaren drivers out

McLaren boss Zak Brown slammed the "amateur" racing at the start of the United States Grand Prix sprint race, after both of his Formula 1 drivers retired on lap one in Austin.<br>Title contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who started second and third respectively, didn’t make it past the opening sector after being hit at Turn 1 causing terminal damage.<br>It came after Piastri attempted to

Yeah I can agree with that completely.
Really hoping they make some huge racing rules updates for 26 coz its just chaos at the moment.
New cars, new racing rules. Perfect opportunity

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 4d

What are you watching?
Max's awful wheel to wheel driving and the stewards blatant forgiveness for his indiscretions are very obviously an issue in the sport.
His calling out the press is often a part of his pattern to place blame on other drivers.

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 4d

I genuinely do not understand why the stewards cannot police this sport.
Even the three billion car and four hundred class races that are WEC and IMSA they can control the field.
Why can't they look at 20 cars without blatant mistakes

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 4d

10 seconds and no points feels like a bit of a contradiction. F1 are in dire need of a rules reset

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 4d

Well its pathetic stewarding again which decides the race.
Serial idiots- Verstappen and Russell showing their lack of racing ability for at least the third time this season.
Utter joke of a race
