Back to some training ... #CanadianGP #Formula1 #F1 #mclaren #LandoNorris

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

You know, @LiamLawson30 is 100% correct, it's absolute nonsense that McLaren play the British anthem when Bruce McLaren was a Kiwi and raced as a Kiwi. That never made any sense to me. #Formula1 #F1

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

So @johnnyherbertf1 has now stated that 'anything is possible if Verstappen has a DNF' - publicly commenting about stuff like that at best case shows the possibility of bias which should be enough to disqualify you as a steward. (F1 fans know he's biased though!) #formula1 #f1

You can tell @australiapost is an absolute mess when they're closing down post offices that are *always* busy. #AustraliaPost

And just after I type this, Morris gets two wickets in an over!

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

Lance Morris has been the only decent bowler for Australia today, the rest have been lacklustre and what a shellacking Abbott got! What's happened to Australia's batting? #AUSvPAK #cricket

@LawVSX Sorry, Racing Bulls, won't be VCA... after DR's sponsors leave title sponsorship.

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

@LawVSX Only if Checo goes to VCARB... otherwise they're shooting themsleves in the foot with the senior team.

Hey @FoxCricket (cc: @kayosports) - can you put subtitles on when David Warner commentates? His mumbling is so difficult to follow - and I say this as a Melbourne lad! #AUSvPAK #Cricket

#Formula1 #F1

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

Hey @McLarenF1 - can you let @OscarPiastri race now given that @LandoNorris has bottled it (again) and has zero chance of a WDC? Focus on your future and where your talent truly lies. #Formula1 #F1 #P1

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

Formula 1 quote of the week (seen on YouTube, kudos to the author, who I don't remember) "Lando loves bottling so much he should open a Coca Cola factory" #formula1 #F1 @McLarenF1

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

Wow, 5k fine for Lando's dangerous & reckless false start after Stroll went off is an absolute joke - tractor on the side of the track, Stroll right there, what if another car spun off like Stroll did? Would have been a disaster. #F1 #Formula1 #P1 @johnnyherbertf1

@ProfPCDoherty 100%

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

For any visiting team, to win a Test series in India is a dream, and New Zealand have played really well to make it happen.

Such results can only be achieved with good, all-round team efforts.

Special mention to Santner for his standout performance, picking up 13 wickets.

Congratulations to New Zealand on this phenomenal achievement!

Checo constantly whinging about Lawson (and it was Colapinto who hit him, leaving the debris on the track) tells me he's afraid of Liam #Formula1 #F1 #P1 cc: @LawVSX

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

Ah poor @LiamLawson30 - got hit by #FrancoColapinto and had to pit. Going to be great next year with Lawson, Piastri, and hopefully Colapinto on the grid #Formual1 #F1 #P1

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

@diminutiverowdy @cricketcomau @CricketAus It sets an *extremely* poor example, especially for someone kids ought to look up to, so yes, it's still a big deal for anyone who takes fair play seriously. If you don't care about cheating, then perhaps not.

[Brains Matter (@[email protected]) @brainsmatter]

Great drives from @OscarPiastri and @LiamLawson30 absolutely destroying Checo in this race - if he doesn't have that #RedBull seat next year then @redbullracing have rocks in their head. #Formula1 #F1 #P1
