I suggest
@Arsenal
you get her and her family back and give your players another go at being decent human beings - admittedly they’d have to be coached into it but it might be something that sticks with some of them if it’s pointed out
Maybe celebrities who have got hold of tickets to the Euro final might consider gifting it to someone who genuinely deserved it - someone who doesn’t have connections, someone who can’t afford it - just a thought
Congrats Cirencester & Gloucester cnclls
You hold an Xmas fayre to get shoppers into town & when they do & car parks are full you ticket everyone parked on a single yellow on a Sunday
whole rows of them!
Hell of a way to support local businesses by driving people away
John Surtees (the only man to be F1 & Moto GP world champion but often ignored in the heroes listings) campaigned for the Halo after tragically losing son Henry in an F2 race
It’s already saved Hamilton, Le Clerc & Grosjean & today without a doubt saved Zhou
That’s an F1 hero 🙏🏼
When I lost my Father I was in my 30’s. I was not ready. You are never ready. The greater authority that was there even if you never sought guidance has gone. Try to show a little understanding & be kind to a family & to one who served his country and the crown
#princephillip
What is happening in Bristol tonight is not protest, it’s opportunist violence.
Nothing positive comes from it, no-one will be won to an argument or change their view, no progress will be made & it is not done in the name of anyone who wants a better world for our children
Can I just point out to all of you getting your knickers in a twist & saying unpleasant things about

or his dancing
@bbcstrictly
He’s brave enough to try, lives in my village, is a lovely guy AND has family & kids
& maybe u might think about them before you tweet?
Have to say I think this person has a point - self service checkouts in shops or checkins in hotels or at airports are not for the customer’s benefit but to reduce staff & costs for companies - which removes service & any sense of human interaction - which only a very few prefer
Why doesn’t a single one of them actually say hello or even acknowledge the mascot? Are they all so self obsessed that not a single one of them says hello or even looks at her?
I have invited all the journalists and presenters employed to cover
@F1
to answer the simple question
Was it fair to allow only the 5 cars between 1st & 2nd to overtake but not the 2 cars between 2nd & 3rd.
None, despite their expertise will give an opinion
All you need to know
Do you mean when they’re risking their lives around the world taking on drug runners, securing borders and acting as peacekeepers between people with guns or going into whatever danger our Govt (Tory or Labour) sends them to - or on rare ceremonial days like this they can enjoy?
To be clear for LH fans
Hannah Schmitz is a brilliant strategist
Adrian Newey is the greatest designer of his generation
Max is a gifted driver
& Toto bossed the most successful team run for years
But LH should be 8 times WDC & AD 2021 won’t be forgotten
It damaged F1 credibility
So
@johnnyherbertf1
has finally paid the price for being the only one to tell the truth about 2021 WDC fiasco in Abu Dhabi; from the moment it happened he refused to toe the
@F1
@fia
@SkySportsF1
line.
Thank you for putting fans first Johnny & being their voice in the pit lane
Would it kill the News stations to feature police about their epic efforts to keep dignitaries, mourners & the capital safe during the largest security operation in the country’s history? They’ll talk to St John’s ambulance but ignore police shipped in from everywhere to work 🙄
I think the
@fia
plan is to keep their heads down and stop their commentators extending the discussion about AD until the new cars are unveiled and winter testing results come out hoping excitement about the new season will make people forget
I think they’ve seriously misjudged
Another 20 blocked this morning who have no idea about the rules or history of F1 or who simply will not understand the ongoing argument is less about who won in AD and mostly about how - in order that F1 can remain a sport - not become simply a manipulated entertainment show
Veteran of 22 years service & 3 Afghan tours with family including children with disabilities unable to find a home in Colchester Essex area, both parents work - been told to go on the waiting list
No charity stepping in - need advice as they’re at wits end. Where is the support?
Good to see
@fia
are prepared to go back & look at serious infringements of the rules long after the event
Looking forward to the review of

cost cap infringement & AD2021
Or is crossing a track worse than cheating or illegally gifting a driver a world championship

What happened to
#bekind
?
I’m a McLaren fan - always have been & an F1 fan for 50 years. The truth is you have to be a Red Bull fan not to be aggrieved by AD because it could happen to your driver next year if
@fia
is allowed to choose its winner for entertainment sake in any given year
#WWF1
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says he can understand that “if you’re a Lewis fan or a Mercedes fan, that you can feel aggrieved by the events of Abu Dhabi”.

#TeamLH
Ridiculous penalty against
@LewisHamilton
in the sprint race which I’ve just seen - they would not have penalised Verstappen for the same action in a month of Sundays or Saturdays 🙄
@F1
@fia
really do have special set of rules for
@redbullracing
don’t they
Incredibly proud of our armed forces, security services and Police that managed to pull off and manage such a huge security event and dignified funeral cortège
Great to see troops from all around the commonwealth too
Extraordinary spectacle with the world watching
That’s entirely the wrong headline Read the room
Hugely emotional public moment of the year for me when Glastonbury crowd sensed
@LewisCapaldi
determined, brave struggle & frustration & stepped up to help him through his set
This showed people are mostly decent & empathetic ❤️
David Beckham joined the queue with members of the public for 12 hours. I have far more respect for him for doing that than I do for those who used the fast-track VIP line, like Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Queue jumping is the worst British insult.
The great sadness for me as a lifelong

fan is that with the design changes this year it should be full of expectation & excitement but it isn’t
I think

@SkySportsF1
now know fans can’t get excited about a competition or sport demonstrably contrived & unreliably governed
For those who don’t understand why Abu Dhabi 2021 is still rumbling on with fans despite
@fia
@SkySportF1
@redbullracing
trying to ignore it is; at no other time has a sport’s governing body conspired to change a WC result for entertainment purposes
It will never go away
#F1xed
I’ve thought for a while on the end of the
@F1
season
@LewisHamilton
that last race
last lap
that debacle.
Mercedes backed away from litigation for the good of the sport - in doing so they have ended the last chance of it remaining a recognised sport
it’s now just entertainment
I’m a McLaren Fan but I like Alonso, Lewis is undoubtedly exceptional, Max is a great driver & who doesn’t like LeClerc & Sainz and fans of most are cool as we all love F1
But there are so many toxic Kevin and Perrys in the Max camp - it’s like dealing with tantrumming teens 😂
Well this morning I’ve caught up on a few
@F1
clips - I wonder if Christian has had to ground Max.
Properly spat the dummy during the race didn’t he. Very tantrummy.
Reminds me of parents of really badly behaved children who try to explain it away with “he’s very gifted” 😳😂😂
Again police in an impossible position having to apply laws created by politicians, only to be criticised by.... politicians.
Women are rightly angry & want change
People must be allowed to protest peacefully but Covid laws preventing gatherings must be adhered to.
Police that?
Nothing like seeing your lockdown weight gain splashed all over several national newspapers with before & after example photos to really drive home the point to set you up for the day😳
Thank you to all the people sending lovely messages of support - it’s ok, it won’t get me down
With only a skeleton crew of armed officers now covering London and many having handed in their blue tickets I wonder when Mayor Khan’s fear for his own safety which they daily guarantee will outweigh his need to play to the galleries concerning policing in the Capital
Can I just point out to everyone
@bbcstrictly
is an entertainment show not strictly a dancing competition - otherwise those that went to drama college & learned dance would have an unfair advantage over those that never have
It’s the one who connects with the audience that wins🕺
Can we just be clear
@F1
@fia
@SkySportsF1
regarding AD
The regulations don’t need clarifying, they were clear & as almost everyone now accepts they simply weren’t adhered to by RD
If it was a mistake under pressure why did the Stewards not later correct it?
Publish the report
“Unlapping procedures behind the safety car will be reassessed”
Can I humbly suggest you use the current procedures which are clearly defined and have only ever once in the history of the sport been ignored to the detriment of all but one competitor resulting in a WDC title.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has given an update on changes for the upcoming season, with a new 'race management team' to be put in place for testing in Barcelona.
I’m in Norway currently and literally everyone here is laughing
@fia
and
@f1
for this latest ridiculous manipulation once again with a rule no-one in the Paddock was ever aware of let alone the fans.
Wait for “I suspect these rules will need clarifying in the future” 😂😂
#WWF1
Absolutely shocking - And Christian Horner had the nerve to say to a journalist who asked about whether it had tainted the title that only journalists were asking about it.
Anyone who wants F1 to be a sport not WWF1 is asking about it.
Only red bull & Max fans want it ignored
This is shocking. New emerging footage of
@F1
Abu Dhabi GP containing previously unheard radio. Masi essentially executed the instructions of Jonathan Wheatley (Red Bull) without any second thought over its legality or fairness. This should be sickening listening to any fan.
Budget cap delay in F1 until after RB & Max win the titles
Because you wouldn’t want the celebrations ruined by people thinking it was fixed by the sport’s governing body 2 years in a row
The shame is he’s a great driver who deserves to win on his own merit.
Sadly tainted
This is an interesting listen.
@F1
TV pundits apart from
@johnnyherbertf1
think we should all move on, as do of course, all
@redbullracing
& Max fans
I think unbiased F1 fans & of course
@LewisHamilton
fans still want to know how anyone allowed that idiotic unfair panto to happen
And these drivers stepped out of their cars & barely said a word. Their respective teams: not a single fucking word. Stroll’s engineer even tried to temper his radio response. Their collective silence makes them all complicit in this corrupt
@F1
charade.
Back to AD, the scene of the corporate crime that despite the best efforts of Red Bull and
@Fia
is not forgotten a year on and will not ever be
Sadly a permanently tarnished championship and a stain on F1’s reputation
The day it’s stopped being a believable sport and became
#WWF1
I have to say
@LewisCapaldi
shows more grit, determination and flesh than any other performer I’ve seen - unbelievable talent, top lad person to person and inspiration to so many
Never conform my friend - you are unique and shine like a diamond in every performance
I genuinely think
@Fia
investigated & can find no form of words to explain AD
Can find no excuse for the actions of Masi & subsequent lack of correction afterwards from the stewards
So now they can’t publish their findings & will use rule clarification as an integrity smokescreen
It’s clear the cost cap means it’ll cost you a £6 million fine to overspend enough to win or as much as you like by negotiation with the Fia but they won’t take your titles away because you can’t do it retrospectively 😂
Ross Brawn’s regulations have all the teeth of a jelly baby
Christian Horner saying : They felt they were on the wrong side of the decision making last season 😂
Damon Hill literally asked: “are you sure about that ?” “I mean seriously ?”
😅😂😂 OMG This is another level delusion.

#BahrainGP
NEWS: NASCAR issues a deduction of 50 driver and 50 owner points to the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing team for Code of Conduct and Performance Obligation violations.
Cole Custer has been fined $100,000.
Crew chief Mike Shiplett has been fined $100,000 and suspended indefinitely.
Just a thought for the Police, intelligence and security services who are tasked with keeping everyone safe over the current and coming week of events from Scotland to London. As always in national events, quietly and often without thanks working long hours.
@GThomas1970
Perhaps you could be arsed to read my tweet properly
The car parks were full - as I said on my tweet & btw not my car!
Perhaps instead of being a cynical grouch with a chip on your shoulder you might empathise with traders trying to get shoppers into town centres?
Just a thought
It’s extraordinary how miserable, cynical and unable to read and digest tweets some people are! I’ve stopped explaining it wasn’t my car or the point I was trying to make and finally resigned myself to blocking the ‘hard of thinking’
Can you spot the difference? Both Lewis and Jackie are knighted but David Kent chooses to use the honorific only for the three times WDC not the 7 times WDC?
What could be the difference between them to diminish one in this writer’s esteem?
I wonder?
This is looking worse than bad officiating - I don’t even want to say it out loud. This officiating is an absolute disgrace and World Rugby owes Fiji an apology and this officiating team need censuring in some way
This is supposed to be a showcase but it’s grotesque
#WALvFIJ
Well that’s another ten toxic teenage Max
@redbullracing
fans vacuumed out from under the sofa of my social media
F1 has changed and whilst
@fia
are excited about the new fan base I’ve gotta say it’s one more reason to fall out of love with what was one of my favourite sports
The
@fia
has impressed most because despite finding that both Red Bull & Ferrari floors were illegal managed to contrive to give them 4 more races to change it to give Max the chance to build an unassailable lead - they need him to win this year to cover last years debacle
#WWF1
Gaslighting?
It’s interesting then given the most talented F1 designer of his generation RB’s Adrian Newey said of 2021
“I think on balance we’ve probably had the quicker car & that’s a tribute to everybody back in the factory”
But it took a RD decision to beat Lewis to WDC
🏎 “The car is a big factor.”
🏆 “Before going to Mercedes, Lewis had won one championship.”
🔥 “If we can give Max a car, currently he is the best driver in the world.”
Christian Horner says an improved car will give Verstappen a huge advantage over Hamilton this season.
Well it’s been a tough year for many and people may be struggling to see how 2023 will be any different. I think if we wait for Governments to look after us we’ll be waiting a long time. Let’s look after each other in 2023 - let it be the year we make things better with kindness
Do you think if we all went to court we could get a restraining order on
@SkySportsF1
not to come within 200 yards of Christian Horner - even for one race?
watching social media on race weekends it’s clear their obsession is verging on stalker activity 😳 does Red Bull own Sky?
Can I remind people it took months for
@SkySportsF1
- our access to F1 - to even discuss if the debacle in AD was wrong!!
Sky pundits started by gaslighting fans saying they didn’t understand the rules
it was only
@johnnyherbertf1
who called it out
Complicit in the ongoing fraud
News from F1 & F3 today confirms
@fia
have only broken their own rules once to take a WDC away from Hamilton to stop him winning an 8th title & gift it to Verstappen
Anyone who can’t see that like
@skysportsf1
pundits is not a racing enthusiast but wanted a new champ at any cost
"What went through my head was like please, I don’t want the same thing that happened to Lewis Hamilton last year.'” 💬
Victor Martins thought of last year's
#F1
title finale as he waited for his
@FIAFormula3
title to be confirmed ⬇️
8 months late but welcome at last that he joined
@johnnyherbertf1
who called it out directly after it happened - by 2030 the entire team
@SkySportsF1
should be bravely speaking out about it 😂😂
“michael masi didn’t interpret his rules the way they have been written, and that cost lewis hamilton the 8th championship, he gave it to max verstappen” ted you are so brave my king
Sad to see
@miketindall13
exiting the Jungle but he’s done himself and his family proud - he’s proved to everyone what all of us that know him already knew
He’s a top lad with a good heart and great company
