I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this.

For years, Sunday nights meant Top Gear. We’d sit down at 8pm and watch Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May do what they did best.

Now, through Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy has introduced a whole new generation to the realities of British farming and earned the respect of millions all over again.

He’s made us laugh, he’s frustrated us, and he’s entertained us for decades.

Get well soon, Jezza.

The country is rooting for you. ❤️🇬🇧🙏

@La_Pollice C’est pas aujourd'hui t’inquiète pas

Remembering the tragic death of Riccardo Paletti, who died #OnThisDay 13 June 1982. A death that overshadowed Brabham driver Nelson Piquet‘s victory at the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix.

The race began with Didier Pironi‘s Ferrari stalling on the front row, prompting him to signal the approaching drivers. Although many drivers swerved to avoid Pironi, Paletti, in the Osella, starting from the back in only his second Grand Prix start, collided with Pironi’s stationary car at high speed. The impact caused Pironi’s car to shift left, while Paletti’s car stopped where it crashed, crushing the nose of his car. Rescuers, including Pironi and FIA doctor Sid Watkins, rushed to help, but Paletti’s car caught fire. It took nearly a minute to extinguish the flames and another 25 minutes to extract him. Paletti succumbed to severe chest and abdominal injuries. This was Formula 1’s last fatality until the tragic weekend at Imola in 1994.

Piquet’s teammate Riccardo Patrese finished second, with John Watson third in a McLaren.

@La_Pollice C’était son dernier mot... on en a passé de sacrées soirées avec lui 🥲

❤️ Luis Enrique a tout gagné dans le football… mais la vie lui a tout pris 😳

Sa fille a été emportée par un cancer à seulement 9 ans...

Et pourtant l'entraîneur se dit chanceux, très chanceux même, d'avoir pu partager ces 9 merveilleuses années avec elle.

Quelle leçon de vie !

Dovremmo affrontare la vita come affrontava le gare Gilles Villeneuve, senza arrendersi mai.

A tribute to Alex Zanardi.

[Steve Matchett @MrSteveMatchett]

I have worked with many Formula 1 drivers: built cars for them; strapped them securely inside; offered words of advice and encouragement before releasing them to the track. I did these things for Alex too, and I will always remember our short time together with immense fondness.

The gentlest, kindest man. And my god, he was fast. He inspired millions and impacted the lives of everyone fortunate enough to meet him. He was universally adored. My thoughts are with Daniela and Niccolo on their unfathomable loss. Alex was the best. The absolute best.

Con una brugola da 4 posso alzarmi o abbassarmi di 2 centimetri e mezzo".
Grazie per il Cuore che ci hai sempre messo.
Ciao, Zanna.

Un astre a cessé de briller le 1er Mai 1994. Ce triste dimanche restera gravé de façon indélébile dans la mémoire de tous ceux qui l'ont vécut. Ayrton n'était pas mon idole, mais c'est une Légende.
