Unrelated, but I love Arvid Lindblad's aggressive "I'm only here coz they're paying me" vibe; Lance Stroll looks hyped in comparison. Meanwhile, Esteban is in model mode and Alonso is radiating ✨Hero✨
More than half of Current F1 grid has not driven in Malaysia before: #formula1 #f12026 VIA: [the-race]
This kind of F1 related numerology is improving my life. #F1 #LewisHamilton
🐐 Here's an insane stat - You have better odds of winning the Hungarian GP if your name is Lewis Hamilton than you do if you start the race from pole position 🤯 Pole to win rate in Hungary: 40% (16/40) Hamilton's win rate in Hungary: 42.1% (8/19)

I've been told my accent is wrong. But you know what? **It's my native accent** There is no One Correct English Accent. Have accent, will talk.
"I use AI voiceover because English is my second language and this sounds more natural." Buddy, I clocked ten seconds in that it was AI because it sounds *extremely* unnatural. Because it's AI. I am *begging* ESL Youtubers to stop this shit. Embrace your beautiful accent. I promise it's fine.
I like Guenther, but wtf? Under his leadership Haas manufactured as little as possible to save money, buying everything they possibly could from Ferrari. Be a grown up... #F1 #McLaren
Guenther Steiner has urged McLaren to be "grown up" and manufacture its own Formula 1 power units. www.planetf1.com/news/guenthe...

The giveaway here is using a Tolkien name for a grand project. Teh Tech Bros didn't get what LoTR was about and just keep telling us they want to be Sauron (the big big bad). (There's more of us than there are of them)
The FCC authorized Reflect Orbital to launch the mirror satellite Eärendil-1. “For optical astronomy, this poses an existential threat,” the European Southern Observatory said. www.wired.com/story/reflec...
In summary: as the UK govt is not a healthcare practitioner, it is enacting conversion therapy on trans folks and should be held accountable with prison time. #transrights #humanrights
Legislation to ban abusive conversion practices has reached Parliament eight years after it was first promised. Noah Vickers quizzes equalities minister Olivia Bailey on how it will work https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/olivia-bailey-conversion-practices-bill-not-interested-scaremongering

Climate change isn't just hotter weather--it's state of emergency level flooding happening regularly. This isn't a future problem. It's a now problem. #climate #F1
Anyone wanna guess how many significant flooding events Aotearoa New Zealand has had in 2026? You're wrong it's more it's seven... that have resulted in an SoE at least, the actual number is higher. We're having another one now and it's only June.
So, the BritishGP has come and gone, we had umbrellas trying to race, Max Verstappen saving George Russell from his own curse, and an underrated Alonso victory, but this all happened in the Realm of the British GP; a magical place with ancient wind generators and propaganda. #F1 #BritishGP
