25 years working in F1 and TV for reasons that currently escape me. I made that thing you saw once. Proud recipient of 3/1000th of a BAFTA. All opinions are personal, that’s what opinions are.
I loved the early footage of Oscar and the interview with their early team bosses and mechanics.

I think if most fans had a real understanding of what it is to produce hundreds of hours of live broadcasting they’d have a different perspective. Nothing is perfect. No one is going to be happy with everything. But ultimately everyone just wants the sport covered the best they can.

I’ll take that. Have a good christmas mate.

Fine to have a go at what it costs (I have to pay it too) but by god if you love the sport and want it covered you’ve never had it so good. And they spend their time trying to be fair and accurate whilst maintaining access and relationships with teams. If you think that’s easy, here’s a bridge.

I’m not sure that stops Max from trying to back Lando into the cars behind him - 2016 all over again. Plus Yuki playing pitstop games. I think Lando would still have preferred to be on pole…

Ask Nico Rosberg what Hamilton did to him backing him up into the cars behind to try to win the championship in 2016 - Verstappen will try it on Norris. This is not going to be an uneventful race…

The bad news is there WILL be tracks where drivers have to lift - the good news is we will see more racing and variety of strategy on the pitwall AND the track. But with so MUCH horsepower available on deployment I don’t think anyone is going to miss DRS.

Well not Threads. All these platforms look the same to me….
