What a lap from Rosenqvist

[Ben Evans @bencommentator]

@MattHunter09 @JakePetrolhead Great, hope you like it

[Ben Evans @bencommentator]

@JakePetrolhead That’s great, was long year of watching old race tapes and ploughing through books & magazines

My book Super Touring has been out in the wild for a few weeks. If you’ve read it and liked it, I’d love to hear from you. I’ve also got a few at home if anyone wants a signed or deal copy #btcc #supertouring

Ten years too late, we might realise that the Brexit referendum wasn’t really about Europe, but about the dissatisfaction of a large swathe of voters with the state of the country and ‘the system’.

The tragedy is that an entire British political class used that disenchantment for its own political ends. They promised voters one thing, delivered another, and never took responsibility for any of it.

I never understand why drivers never force the issue with Verstappen. Letting him through and getting on the radio to moan means he’s won the mind games. All the greats in the modern era have chosen crash rather than concede to prove a point - after that job done

@05mick27 Thanks, I hope you like it

A small moment of personal joy today, heading out of work to the nearest Waterstones and seeing my new book there on its release day. I can trace writing this one through some tough personal and professional times so great to see it in the wild

Super Touring is out on Monday from @PitchPublishing - the full story of the 1990s BTCC and touring car explosion.

[Ben Evans @bencommentator]

Exciting day as the package from @PitchPublishing arrived with my author copies for Super Touring. Think it’s available on Kindle now and physically in shops later in the month - do DM if you’re interested in getting a copy

Am curious - assuming the USAs war drags on - how many Grand Prix will there be this year? I’m going with max 15 - enough for a championship, but given public opinion on crushing cost of living due to an unnecessary war likely to be sulphurous, not too many to risk pushback

Off to the Formula Ford Festival tomorrow - if you’re going and would like a copy of The Legend of the Formula Ford Festival hand delivered for £15 drop me a line - have 3 left

@TheRealDJPete Thanks, that was kind of my thinking. Similarly I’ve got a David Coulthard from his F3 days that’s like you’d write on an exam cover sheet

Picked this up for £5 on eBay. Can anyone advise if the signature is likely to be genuine? It’s different to later autographs, but early career signatures tend to be more legible #barrysheene

Ozzfest 2001 - what a day. Coach from Bristol to Milton Keynes to meet up with mates from school (no phones so no idea how it worked). Fabulous day and first step into adulthood. Amen were superb (miss Casey) and Black Sabbath were awesome. So glad to have seen Ozzy when on it

Am feeling solidarity with the club World Cup commentators- trying to sell something that is a bit rubbish (late days of FV8 3.5) with enthusiasm

Can already see that F1 2025 will go down to the final round between the McLaren drivers & that it will be decided by Norris making a fairly fundamental race craft error
