All the best bits from Interlagos, for whatever we're calling this race these days
The 2025 SGF1 Power Rankings Round 21
Brazil Or Sao Paulo if you prefer but, much like Mexico City last time, nobody actually calls the race by those titles. So let’s get back to the Brazil nuts and see which drivers the Brazilia…

Just had to check again on Channel 4+1... C4 definitely put the post-Sprint points on screen prior to their Sprint race highlights... 🤦♂️

Since Pau got a mention in the first clue on tonight's #onlyconnect, here's a picture from the multiple Tour de France host's other great sporting event, the Pau Grand Prix. Specifically, Juan Pablo Montoya en route to a crushing one-lap victory in 1998, his title-winning year

Remember when Hollyoaks went rallying? Yeah, it was every bit as bad as you're expecting...
Rally report: Chester, 2004
Apologies to anyone expecting this to be a retrospective of the Top Gear-branded specials that used to cover the daily action from the British round of the World Rally Championship. There is a TV t…

There's a lot of motorsport going on in this FA Cup tie. Not only did we get the fireworks display from the nearby Mercedes F1 plant, we seem to have had former British Superbike champion Shane Byrne and McLaren F1 boss Zak Brown on the pitch...

A question on tonight's #onlyconnect allows me to revisit this infographic, which reveals that 35 Andorrans have good taste in cars. Although it's probably actually more like just under 29

A weird mash-up of all things motoring and/or melodramatic in the wider Channel 4 world. Sticks on topic about as much as usual then
The 2025 SGF1 Power Rankings Round 20
Mexicocity Channel 4’s Grand Prix highlights were not as dramatic as E4’s Hollyoaks 30th anniversary events. So I’ve sort of combined the two, and it gives me an excuse to rerun a…

The death of Doctor Who Peri, 39 years ago yesterday - and 39 years, give or take, before the death of the Hollyoaks character named after her. Perhaps we should have guessed once Tom Cunningham returned to the soap with Colin Baker's hair...
And yes, Captain Duff from The High Life is in there too

Successfully got the answer "shoft" on tonight's #onlyconnect. Whether that was down to studying the Great Vowel Shift back in university, or this chap even earlier than that, I'll leave you to decide

At least the weather was good in Austin. Indianapolis, previous host of the US Grand Prix, was underwater for most of the 8 Hours this weekend...

Re: Motorsport Mundial. Mispronouncing Cetilar Corse and Salih Yoluc in the IMSA highlights, then JJ "Yelloly" (Yeley) to join Noah "Grayson" (Gragson) and "Hendrix" (Hendrick) Motorsports in NASCAR... I'm convinced Jonathan Green is doing this deliberately. No one can be this stupid accidentally

First time I've found a livestream on the You Tubes for the Women's World Motorcycling Championship (a World Superbike support series). Initial observations are the racing's good, but most of all the chat seems far more respectful than you get in, say, F1 Academy...

Thanks to the current US President, I assumed the connection in this #onlyconnect question was things that have been walked on... (no idea where the deep bass fitted in)
Still, better than last night's football-themed special, which contained fewer connections and walls than I'd have liked

Impressive crash at the start of the NASCAR Euro finale at Zolder just now. Nine times barrel roll, seems to have reduced it to more of a NASCAR Modified. And I can be this flippant (no pun intended) because the driver has got out absolutely fine...

Alfa Romeo and four tyre companies turned up as clues on tonight's #onlyconnect. For a bonus point, only one of those five has never competed in Formula 1. While you try and work that one out, I'm off to remember which Half Man Half Biscuit tune it is that mentions Kendo Nagasaki (another clue)

Obvious car link from tonight's #onlyconnect, here represented by that bizarre advert where Volkswagen advertised its then-new 1988 Passat by showing it was heavy enough to break through the floor when dropped from a height, unlike its previous, smaller offerings

Must be unusual for Max Verstappen to have a team-mate who's as quick as he is... Anyway, in a month with just two Grands Prix and no sprint races, he's just managed to win three races 😎
