@glennfreeman39 @eddstrawF1 @wearetherace @BBV10s @MauriceHamilton LOVED it 😄 Very interesting discussion at the end about the Senna Balestre rivalry being the ultimate flashpoint at that stage, had never thought of it that way! I hope that thunder wasn't someone up there disagreeing 😄

@wearetherace @virtualstatman @XPBImages @SMitchellF1 @eddstrawF1 Just caught up on this, brilliant discussion, loved all the different places it went too! Ha I'm the one only fan who would miss the sprint races if they were taken away 😂

If you see @OscarPiastri coming in the mirror WATCH OUT - he's quick....

[Ben Harris @benh5]

Some photos from the F1 this year at @SilverstoneUK - it was so fabulous, seeing the downforce turn into speed at Copse and Becketts and Stowe was STUNNING! Loved it!

[Ben Harris @benh5]

@gaittman @glennfreeman39 Oh yes indeed! If he had made the black red, would be a better match for the car/jaguar logo,but never should have ditched a good design! It didn't seem like it was him driving the car after that! A bad year for great designs ditched as Schumacher went red later on (Monaco?)

@glennfreeman39 Magnificent - fascinating insight from Gary on the fuel!Hadn't realised Herbert did so few stops (!) @SportmphMark did a great job on the Motoring News report, I still remember being agog reading it(was on holiday and missed the race,just couldn't comprehend what I was reading😮)

@jclelandracing I'm counting 16? Although I wouldn't have chosen any of them over you if I'd been running a Cavalier at the event! Did it feel a really huge event like Indy or Le Mans must do for the drivers in those series?

@GrandPrix_Paul @glennfreeman39 @eddstrawF1 @karunchandhok JV in the 97 Jordan (most likely destination...?) would have been mighty and race winning I think (but no title!)...now if in this situation he'd gone to Ferrari, that really would have been fireworks 😀

[Ben Harris @benh5]

@glennfreeman39 @eddstrawF1 @karunchandhok Great stuff as ever-stellar list of interviewees!Was astonished to hear it was an option on HHF, I'd misremembered it was a race contract signed in 95!I still think Williams did the right thing proactively looking for a 'schuey-beater', but personally rather they'd kept Damon...

@glennfreeman39 *That chance meeting was just after the Brazil 1994 hearing (!) - he kindly signed my magazine and chatted to me and my Dad for a few mins....in the course of which he declared the FIA officials 'old fuddy duddys' 😀 I don't think Autosport or Motoring News had as good a quote 😂

[Ben Harris @benh5]

@glennfreeman39 Irvine and the podium! Am from Co Down like Eddie and met him* and got his autograph the year before - my young self thought it was unbelievably cool someone from my neck of the woods and who signed an autograph for me was up on the podium 😀 Rewatched on VHS many times after!

[Ben Harris @benh5]

If @SchumacherMick says he had all 4 wheels on track at all times he's fibbing 😀 Verstappens 'conservative' with 3 wheels up,Hamilton + Leclerc barely get take off with two 😂 We walked from Acqua Minerale down to near Rivazza during FP3 and the views and speed were sensational!

[Ben Harris @benh5]

Mercedes is the nicest looking car!Unfortunately not fast - still had fun cheering on @LewisHamilton
on his unsuccessful quest for a point (!) - think he gave me the thumbs up during the drivers parade 😀 Red Bull, Ferrari,Alfa very nice too (McLaren will be with more orange!)

[Ben Harris @benh5]

Can't believe it has been over a week since our amazing trip to @autodromoimola for the Grand Prix! The track is fantastic, swooping through the hills, and it is very atmospheric with the trees and the full park right there! I definitely want to go back 😀

[Ben Harris @benh5]

A 'composite' entry into Brooklands, through Luffield and into Woodcote - they go so fast I think that Williams turned into a few other cars on the way through 😀 https://t.co/e02EZu5whY

I'm a new DSLR user and trying to learn how to use it - so much I don't know and I took lots of dud photos! But at least I learnt how to work the zoom lens 😎 https://t.co/Bh8KvnLutq

The ten teams of F1 2021 - the liveries are largely fantastic this year 🤩 https://t.co/4jsFBfL6wW

[Ben Harris @benh5]

Can't believe its a month since a day of days at Silverstone!Epic cheering on Lewis in the last stint as it went from no-chance to oh-hang-on he-can't-can-he :) 1987 like!Fantastic comms by @addison1972 - 'he can hear you in the car now' - I was certainly cheering!!! Fabulous!

One of my best passes in the game - on Carlos and Lando! Bad day for Zak Brown..... #PS4share
