@FormulaCracked @wtf1official More a reflection on Red Bull management than Lawson.

@GrayBoth Good luck for the future, Graham. And thanks for your help over the last few years.

@LienhardRacing Stunningly beautiful

[jonathan smith @jonathansmith9]

@mikeparry8 Well done, Mike. I was also brought up in the brilliant Chester and was a cub reporter at the Cheshire Observer there a couple of years before you joined the Chronicle, great days. Like you, I later ended up in Fleet Street at the good old Daily Express. Have great birthday!

Congrats to Ecurie Hinxton on last weekend’s third place at Spa. Great result, great drivers and a great car (Lotus Elan).

@PeterNunn3 Nice and elegant. And an easy, comfortable drive from what I remember on the launch back in the day. Such a shame the famous name of Saab has never re-emerged after GM’s appalling spell of ownership.

@StevieJenkin Not a chance. Too thick-skinned.

@NGMWcars A grass-roots regional journalist and hugely well respected, he will be sorely missed. Above all, Derrick was a faithful friend and was a man of total integrity.

@SimonBranney Great news!

[jonathan smith @jonathansmith9]

The understated BYD Atto 3 was one of the brightest stars I drove yesterday at the SGMW dazzlingly good industry/members event.

[jonathan smith @jonathansmith9]

@PeterNunn3 Stellantis? Is that a car firm? Never heard of it!!!

[jonathan smith @jonathansmith9]

@PeterNunn3 Congrats Peter. Next target Healey 3000!!

@CyclingInASkirt @YTimesMotoring Is today April Fool’s Day?! Btw licence when used as a noun is spelled with a C not an S.
