From Manchester, back in 🇬🇧 after 15 years in 🇪🇬, #F1 & #LFC fan, golfer, into politics and 🏳️‍🌈. Anything else? 😁

[Ben @BenIssatt]

I've never been a fan of any #F1 driver as much as I am of @danielricciardo, his smile and character has made F1 fun for so long and on his day there was no one better. My hope now is he tries an IndyCar or an Aussie Supercar ASAP... for now though, thanks honey badger! 🍯🦨👟🍾

[Ben @BenIssatt]

A lot of comments about the messages between Max and GP. Honestly, I doubt there's much to them because that's just their relationship, but you do wonder if Max is eyeing that Mercedes seat a little closer... the next month or few races could be very interesting...

If Lando is clever, he will use this to get Oscar to back him for the rest of the season because the championship is definitely on and McLaren have to stop thinking like a midfield team...

Brownie points don't win #F1 titles, Lando... even Oscar almost looks like he knows he shouldn't have won. As for Max... 💀💀💀

So I've voted in an election for the first time and even convinced Mum to come along 😅

No matter who you vote for, be sure to make your voice heard today ❌️

Well the Verstappen/ Norris battle perhaps just became a rivalry... great to see Lando raising his game recently and showing how Max is still vulnerable mentally under pressure

#AustrianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Nice of Checo to demonstrate the Z and X mode coming to #F1 cars in 2026...

#CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Well, that race didn't disappoint! It's why I really hope the FIA hold firm over the 30% downforce cut on the 2026 cars, it would bring driver skill more into focus and create more exciting action!

He's not wrong! Another Canada classic incoming?

[Jeremy Clarkson @JeremyClarkson]

To all the new Formula 1 fans. What these guys are about to do in Canada is really really difficult. And dangerous too.

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Pundits readying for a multi-stop race, watch it be an intermediate-medium strategy 😅

#CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

The whole JV/ Ricciardo thing is actually quite funny. What JV said was right because DR has been more smiles than substance since 2021, but he just said it in a way to created a reaction. The irony is maybe it worked 😅

#F1 #CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

The only issue looks to be the age old problem of new tarmac = more surface water so probably a Safety Car start incoming...

#CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Was Zandvoort really the last wet race? 😅

#CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

That ghost car graphic is seriously cool

#skyf1 #CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Anyone who thinks Ferrari won't still be team Leclerc in 2025 is going to be disappointed, Lewis may have some success but I still don't see him making an impact on the team

#CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Am I really the only one who wonders if Ferrari actually needs to sign Newey? The only role I would see him in there is as an advisor to the current tech team

#F1 #CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Never mind the obvious choice in Sainz 😅

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Gee, every time Sky reminds us Checo is staying at Red Bull until 2026 it feels like a massive missed opportunity to put someone more competitive and more deserving there... would love to see what an Albon or even a Hulkenberg could do in that second seat

#CanadianGP

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Not really sure who I fancy for the win, a Max, Dan, Lando podium would be fun in any order and maybe possible if its wet, Merc obviously can't be ruled out, so yea an interesting race ahead

#CanadianGP #F1

[Ben @BenIssatt]

Must say, I haven't looked forward to an #F1 race this much for quite some time... literally anything could happen and that feels good, the prospect of a wet race is always fun too!
