ICYMI, i'm now a four-time Ironman. The comeback from all the injuries is now complete! :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It has been a long road back after a back injury that nearly paralyzed me, three surgeries and three years of recovery, but I will be competing in IRONMAN California in Sacramento on Sunday, attempting to add to the three previous IRONMAN finisher medals I won in 2013, 2014 and 2016. #IMCA #IRONMAN

For context, Verstappen has taken 47 more races than Schumacher to reach 72 wins for a single constructor

Max Verstappen has now won as many Grands Prix with Red Bull as Michael Schumacher did with Ferrari (72 each) #BahrainGP

If this red flag lasts much longer they could actually hold this race in Bahrain #BahrainGP

How have we gone an hour into a red flag delay at Sepang and still not seen a driver eating an ice cream? #BahrainGP

Max Verstappen gives Ford their first pole of the 21st Century. They had not been on pole since Rubens Barrichello in a Stewart - the original incarnation of Red Bull - at the 1999 French Grand Prix #BahrainGP

P.S. I really miss that tight group of colleagues with whom I spent the first 15 years of my time in F1. We worked together, we laughed together, we did stupid shit together. There are times when I feel lonely in F1 without them.

Colapinto made a bad error in the #AzerbaijanGP, but it happens to every driver at some point. Although blame was more evenly split, Verstappen collided with his teammate at the same corner in 2018. Colapinto finished every GP he started for Alpine until yesterday, this is all a bit melodramatic

George Russell's 0.196s winning margin over Max Verstappen is the closest in a green flag finish at a Grand Prix since Ferrari's infamous stage-managed finish at the 2002 US Grand Prix, when Rubens Barrichello accidentally beat Michael Schumacher by 0.011s #AzerbaijanGP

I lost my Mum 20 years ago today. She was never interested in sports... unless somebody from Ireland had a chance of winning... and Alex Dunne has just won for Ireland in FIA Formula 2 here in Baku 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

I don't really have any notable personal anecdotes to add to the 9/11 commemorations, but i'm glad I was old enough to have experienced a world filled with optimism and positivity during the years prior to that date, because I know i'll never experience that world again in my lifetime

I am sure many of you out there had never heard the name Ludovico Scarfiotti until today. I always rated his 1966 Italian GP win as the most obscure in F1 history given that it was a Ferrari 1-2 at Monza, with the other driver being Mike Parkes. They only started 16 GPs between them #ItalianGP

Antonelli ends 60 years of hurt for Italy. Sta tornando a casa #ItalianGP

I was originally named for Sean T O’Kelly, the second President of Ireland. Coincidentally, the cyclist Sean Kelly won two stages of the Tour de France in the week I was born, so I was named for him as well 🇮🇪

Don’t forget that the Nurburgring also held the 2020 Eifel GP as well!

2016 counts toward European GP event history but Azerbaijan track history

Aston Martin's best qualifying time at this weekend's #BelgianGP (1:50.002) is more than two seconds slower than the pole time. From 35 years ago.

Didn’t travel to Spa this weekend, so I came to visit this man instead, on the 11th anniversary of his passing. They have relocated his remains from elsewhere in the cemetery #JB17

Ferrari win their 250th Grand Prix on the weekend that the USA celebrated 250 years since independence. That means Ferrari have averaged one Grand Prix victory every year since 1776!

Will Buxton has the play by play duties at the Indianapolis 500 while Formula 2 continues here in Montreal. It was his commentary on this series in the GP2 days that attracted the attention of SPEED Channel who hired him as a pit reporter in 2010. And look at him now!

Flight out of Miami is late, and while sat here daydreaming it occurred to me that i've now done as many full-time seasons working in F1 as Murray Walker did prior to retirement in 2001. That seems incredible to me because Murray felt like he was there forever, whereas my time has passed in a flash

It is 5:30pm in Miami and it is now finally spitting with rain. As it turned out, we would have completed a full dry race even if it started at its originally-scheduled time, it’s been dry all afternoon #MiamiGP

I happened to look at social media yesterday evening and was reading all sorts of keyboard warriors saying the FIA/F1 were stupid for not just canceling the race 24 hours in advance. Welp, the people in question need to go back in, delete those posts and hope nobody notices #MiamiGP

#RIPAlexZanardi, perhaps the most impressive person I’ve ever met. 😔

Alex Zanardi.... one of the greatest inspirations throughout the history of humanity. We're all poorer without his energy in this world.

I was in Max’s company once, and I have never felt so intellectually overmatched in my life.

Here for the group hugs <3

Sad that I can no longer wake up to the NASA Artemis II livestream. It has been such an unexpected light in our lives for these past ten days

I refused to move until all four astronauts were successfully out of Orion and in the life raft

I’m gonna guess the Artemis II crew are not the kind of people who get up the moment the seat belt sign is switched off after landing

I am on the beach in San Diego… we didn’t see or hear anything of Artemis II on re-entry as expected, but there were a LOT of people out here anyway, several were crowded around my iPad and Bluetooth speaker watching the live NASA feed. Huge cheers broke out when we saw all three main chutes open ❤️

NASA have just revised the expected splashdown time by 1 second, to 5:07:08pm Pacific Time. How are we supposed to plan our lives around such inaccuracy! 😂

The Artemis II crew are at that stage of the flight where they get offered 50,000 free air miles if they sign up for a new credit card

Had to go out and run errands today and felt like I was cheating on the Artemis II crew by not following what they’ve been doing

Right now, there are four humans further from Earth than at any time in all of human history. That is incredible to me. We’re no longer reading about visiting the moon as something that happened in our parents’ / grandparents’ time. Our generation is finally building on the legacy of Apollo

I don’t get emotional easily but this is one of the most profound messages in modern human history. Jim Lovell is one of my heroes, and I just wish he had lived a few more months to witness this momentous day in human history

Ran the track this evening as fast as I could, except for pausing briefly at Jules Bianchi’s accident site #JapaneseGP

How I love Suzuka at dusk #JapaneseGP

I never liked St Patrick’s Day because it involves drinking alcohol and pretending to be Irish, and I’ve never been convincing at doing either of them 🇮🇪

I suppose it stands to reason that a new F1 rules package with electrical energy at its core was always likely to have positives and negatives. I’ll get my coat.

Kimi Antonelli is emotional with good reason. He's never seen an Italian driver win a Formula 1 race in his lifetime #ChineseGP

Kimi Antonelli's victory today was only the second Grand Prix in history won by a teenager. After Max Verstappen won the 2016 Spanish GP aged 18, he didn't win again until the day after his 20th birthday #ChineseGP

We’ve always received a great welcome when we’ve visited Bahrain and Saudi Arabia for F1, and of course in my case the Bahraini health service literally put me back on my feet in 2023 when I was nearly paralyzed by a hemorrhaged disc. I hope everybody will remain safe there and we shall return soon

Although I would never completely dismiss safety risks, the starts we've had so far this season have been eons more interesting than in the last 20 years. For those who say F1 was better "back in my day", welp.... this is how race starts used to look back in your day!

He died #OnThisDay 7 years ago, & #F1 & the FIA miss him every day, now more than ever. #RIPCharlieWhiting

Kimi Antonelli was born on the day that Sebastian Vettel first appeared at an F1 race weekend, in Friday practice at the 2006 Turkish GP. He has now surpassed Vettel's record as F1's youngest-ever polesitter #ChineseGP

Kimi Antonelli can become Formula 1's youngest-ever polesitter if he is quickest in Q3. He will undercut 21-year-old Sebastian Vettel's previous record set at Monza in 2008 #ChineseGP
