@CoddersF1 Descartes before the horsepower. Genius.

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@AndyC_F1 Funny I was going to text and ask if congratulations are in order!

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@YeOldeMMRF And according to the photo it seems that Mark achieved that with only two wheels on the ground! I’d look it up in Autocourse, but, you know… 😀

@Lightyear_87 @SportmphMark @hamiltonprop_ Fangio won with four teams.

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@McLarenF1 None of them. Stick to their usual design please! 😀

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@bernie_collins1 It won’t improve overtaking- it might create more overtaking or make it easier but that’s not an improvement in my view.

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@CalumDouglas1 Drat!

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@TheBishF1 @VeloceBooks Thanks for the recommendation Matt. Didn’t know if it. Lance is generally only known for 1955, so good to be able to balance that. Sounds like he was a bit of a Duncan Hamilton -Touch Wood is such an entertaining read 😊

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@MickPuck Excellent summary Mike!

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@Bertie23574627 I was there for that one - late night/early morning down at Indianapolis/ arnage - wonderful sound!

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@vividcloudofwat @Bertie23574627 Goodwood? Lovely shot. Not sure it counts as a real Ferrari but the Lancia D50 was a fine looking car anyway!

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@TheBishF1 I looked at that and thought “that doesn’t look like a Bugatti front axle” so I looked up the T53. Four wheel drive back in 1932!

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@RetroGP_Store Clark, Fangio, Lauda. But that leaves out Gilles, Prost, Amon, Gurney, Siffert and the Hills 😔 Not to mention the greats still racing…

Ukraine is doing all the work, sacrificing, and suffering. The US and NATO nations need only sign a few checks and send existing weapons that were designed for exactly this task: destroy the Russian military. No soldiers required and can win before they are. No more excuses. 🇺🇦

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@mikewhatsisname @vizcomic Yes. But it made some of us happy 😀

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@YeOldeMMRF Nice offer. I’d settle for the Autocourses though 😊

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

@geake Ok thanks. But paint is 😀

[Geoff Collins @GeoffCollinsF1]

There’s a cost cap and they dedicate money to a special livery rather than focus on making that car faster?

[RaceFans @racefansdotnet]

Alpine have revealed a special livery for this weekend's #BelgianGP

More to follow

This really is quite bizarre. @McLarenF1 must have a stock of images to which they own the copyright, and this does not appear to be one. And it’s not as if the M23, M26, MP 4/4 etc were unattractive.

[Michel 🏁 @cheesy_poofs]

Hey @McLarenF1, why is a Ligier depicted on your heritage hat ?
