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

Gotta be the greatest qualifier in F1 history, right?

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

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

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 · 12h

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 · 12h

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 · 12h

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

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 12h

If F1 was sensible, thats P1 Sainz.
10 second penalty Russel.
5 second penalty Verstappen.

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 12h

What is up with the Dutch and blind defence of Verstappen. Either he's wrong for today or he was wrong for his collision with Norris in 24.
Ideally, it was a penalty for Max and Lando last year. And George and Max today. The race rules need resetting. Verstappen has done lasting damage to Formula 1

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 12h

I completely agree with most of that! No chance at all. Ridiculous move!
Unfortunately Max is who be base the rules off and he did that to Norris last year. So yeah, penalty Max for not giving the place back. Now fuck off you thick cunt

Tyres & Tarmac @tyresandtarmac.bsky.social · 12h

Max Verstappen CANNOT race wheel to wheel.
Stupid cunt can't even recognise his own idiotic moves.
Yes George is completely in the wrong but per the rules that Max forced to be in place, Max has to give that back.
Absolute fucking joke.
Give that place up you fucking prick

Hadjar and Hulk should have been instructed to abort their laps once the bottom 5 were determined. Waste of tyres
