An #AntaraF1 update from breakfast:
Antara (out of nowhere): @LewisHamilton!
Me: what about Lewis?
Antara: Nino (Farina); Lewis is talking to Nino
Me: what’re they talking about?
Antara: trophy (more later)
Antara: @F1MikaHakkinen!
Me: yes, Mika?
Antara: show me Mika⬇️
#F1
Those who watched live cricket matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore those years would remember that a Force India #F1 car was parked in the stadium for the entire duration of the IPL.
It was the VJM01, yes.

My interview with @DaruvalaJehan will be out tomorrow on @Motorsport.
We do an in-depth analysis of 2021, look forward to 2022 & how he plans to realise his #F1 dream in 2023.
How different are Carlin-Prema even though #F2 is a single-spec series?

It’s superstar @iamsrk’s birthday. Throwback to when SRK promoted his movie Ra One at the 2011 Indian Grand Prix.
It was a unique promotion - his face was plastered on the front nose of Force India’s #F1 cars!
Probably the only person to have such an honour? #InsideF1
We’ve got a special guest on the Inside Line #F1 Podcast tomorrow.
The legendary @bobvarsha joins us as we look forward to the upcoming #USGP!😍
Look out for the episode as a part of our special programming plans for this weekend’s race in Austin.

What’s your favourite memory of Kimi Raikkonen?
My recent memories are of his radio messages & champagne moments!
@mith_m shares 2 memories. 1) her first #F1 race at Sepang as a fan (2006). Kimi crashed on the opening lap & didn’t even make it to the stand she was seated!
A note on #F1's usage of 'Speed King' + reference to a learning from Force India's 'One from a Billion Hunt' that @rsabnavis & I launched in India in 2011.
In my view, 'Speed King' is gender restrictive, especially at a time when the sport is embracing diversity at all levels.
Oh, today’s going to be a blockbuster episode. The three of us appear together on the Inside Line #F1 Podcast for the first time ever! It’s been a long time coming & has take a fair bit of planning. Live stream on @pitstopodium’s YouTube channel. Audio out later tonight.
Announcements (a thread):
1. 2021 is my fourth season with NENT Group/@ViaplaySport, official #F1 broadcaster in Scandinavia (& other markets). It's a pleasure to work with the best Motorsport personalities, broadcasters & journalists in Norway & narrate stories from the paddock

#Formula1 2020 season got underway with a thrilling race in Austria. There were several narratives in play through the 71 laps of #AustrianGP, @mith_m and @kunalashah bring to you the biggest talking points from the race.

#FernandoAlonso's next season return to #Formula1 is one of the best news to come out for Motorsports fans during the pandemic.
@mith_m and @kunalashah discuss how key stakeholders would be impacted by the decision.

Once the virus is contained I won't be surprised if travelers will prefer to book with the hotels directly rather than rely on travel aggregators. The refund-customer service processes are way too cumbersome & least customer-friendly. #Travel#COVID19Pandemic#Hotels
The refund coupon wouldn't be an issue to use if it was valid to use site-wide & on any other property around the world. The refund coupon comes with limitations - validity: 12 months BUT FOR USE ONLY in the same property that you're unable to travel to due to obvious reasons.
Time for a rant on @hotelsdotcom - one understands that they're facing an unprecedented time given the #COVID19 outbreak - we all are! But https://t.co/Zea5zC0Z6U is literally forcing customers to settle for a refund coupon despite the actual hotel willing to issue a cash refund!
