As today would have been the great Murray Walker's 100th birthday we have turned the

A year ago today I was playing cricket with some rookie F1 gamer and streamer that now appears to be garnering F1 podiums... good job

The 1982 drivers' strike at the South African Grand Prix - that was over new Superlicence conditions that would tie drivers to a team. Niki Lauda played an instrumental part. Wish he was still with us
How utterly fitting - in the week that we lost Sir Frank and F1 races in Saudia Arabia for the first time - that
@HillF1
and
@MBrundleF1
drove the first laps for an F1 car on the new track in two beautiful Saudia Williams FW07s... โค

Just hanging out with the Captain at Goodwood. Great to listen to his passion for
@IndyCar
and all motorsport in general. WEC/Le Mans is definitely on the Penske horizon...
Awfully sad news to wake up to hear of the passing of Gil de Ferran at just 56. Part of my youth was watching he, David Coulthard and Rubens Barrichello climb the junior ranks to have the successful careers in F1 and Indycar that they had. Very sad news
INDYCAR is deeply saddened by the passing of two-time series champion and racing legend Gil de Ferran.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones.

Mark has achieved wonders but also somehow brought stability to a club that was in freefall and bridged the chasm that there was between the owners and the fans

I like the Indycar road/street course format.. so for F1 it would be two groups of 10 - fastest five from each through to a Fast 10, then a final 5
Tomorrow will be 50 years since we lost Jochen Rindt and so my mission was to mark that, and despite lockdown changing plans I am pleased that tomorrow and Sunday will see Features with

Hearing the sad news this evening of the passing of Philippe Streiff..
Quick in F2 and Sportscars, he scored a podium in only his sixth Grand Prix. Sadly, we would never know how far his F1 career could have gone after he was paralysed in an horrific testing accident
So the 24th October is the 50th anniversary of Jo Siffert's needless death at Brands Hatch. So what better way to remember Seppi and achievements than for his hometown Ice Hockey team HC Freiburg-Gotteron to bring a Porsche 917 onto the ice before their game v Ambri ๐
@TheBishF1
So here is the full documentary that I made Jochen Rindt:The Uncrowned Champion which aired last weekend. It is now available worldwide on the Sky Sports F1 You Tube channel. ๐

My Father and I watched from Clearways just by the back row in pic 1. Remember the day vividly
Wishing Steve Rider all the best to a hopeful strong recovery. One of the nicest people I have met in television. And an absolute petrol head. He and Barrie Hinchcliffe were chiefly responsible for bringing motorsport like the BTCC, F3 and British Rally to the screens onโฆ
