F1 joke incoming...

What do you call @LewisHamilton fans at @ScuderiaFerrari?

The Ti-forty-four-si

And, yes, I'm here all season...

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

Looks like Mario Kart is going full Forza Horizon... fine, but I kind of wish it was going for more Burnout Paradise vibes instead!

EJ on a recent birthday. Ski-ing down a mountain, wearing his yellow Jordan GP jacket.

One of a kind in every respect…

[UK Space Command @UKSpaceCmd]

"Royal Navy’s experimental vessel, XV Patrick Blackett, has been conducting trials in UK waters off Portland, testing Marine AI's "GUARDIAN" artificial intelligence software for navigation, autonomy"
For now "augmenting" human control, but a step towards Patrick going crewless.

@markgoldbridge And so the story repeats again.

[Navy Lookout @NavyLookout]

@geoallison Were you able to observe any "new technologies" being tested or integrated into operations? I think drones were referenced explicitly by NATO HQ, but I'd suspect that would encompass USVs and UUVs alongside aerial systems.

[HMS SUTHERLAND @HMSSutherland]

Have you ever wondered what it is like to leave HMNB Devonport and out to sea? 🌊 ⚓️

Hopefully this gives you an idea as The Fighting Clan proceeds past Devil's Point, around Drake's Island, in front of the Hoe and out to the Break water!

A huge team effort! BZ

@juneslater17 We'll all be using jetpacks by the time it's built and rocketing off to Mars for our summer holiday.

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

@highonlife_25 @markgoldbridge For that amount, I'd be the bench!

[Navy Lookout @NavyLookout]

Name change? 7th Astute class name announced as HMS Agincourt in 2018. Agincourt name is still listed on RN website:

Achilles is a great name. Less upsetting for the French🙂

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

@UnitedStandMUFC Watching dry paint dry even more.

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

What is the fastest route from Helsinki to Tokyo? Flights AY61 and AY73 flew in completely different directions from Helsinki, but both are approaching Tokyo with similar flight times.

There is something wrong with the world if you can pay a premium to buy water in a can but don't have enough to put out fires.

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

@nick_cat7 @WilliamsSupport @g4vyn I agree, and it feels like a now or never moment. But from reading responses online, the drivers definitely have the backing of fans on this one, so momentum is in their favour.

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

@nick_cat7 @WilliamsSupport @g4vyn I expect that response would be frostier than Russell's recent ice driving antics.

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

@nick_cat7 @WilliamsSupport @g4vyn That's the other thing, all this coming into fruition whilst the drivers and teams are spread more widely apart than they are at any other time during the season. Very convenient.

[Hannah Ellis @EllisAndPen]

@WilliamsSupport @g4vyn Remind you of anything else? *Cough* stewarding *cough*

This will be the VAR of F1 and the inevitable inconsistencies will aggravate the fans so much as the drivers. Yes, be courteous and professional. But expressing emotion or showing you're human shouldn't be penalised.
