…and Brazil GP qualifying still hasn’t started…

#F1 #BrazilGP

[Atlassian Williams F1 Team @WilliamsF1]

☔️🚨 Qualifying is now estimated to start at 17:00 local time.

Mate time? 🧉🤷‍♂️

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Let them race and let’s sort the men from the boys… #F1 #BrazilGP

[Formula 1 @F1]

The Safety Car is dipping a toe in the water

#F1 #BrazilGP

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Hinch better be careful if he wants to keep his #F1 commentating contract…

#OffScriptWithHinchNotRossi 😉 @AskOffTrack

[MV33Racing🏎 @MV33Racing]

Hinch🗣️ “The timing of the virtual safety car is very bizarre to me”

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

F1 is lucky. A car spears off and chops Hulk in two and suddenly having questionable stewards in charge turns into a multi-million dollar culpable homicide lawsuit… 🫣 #F1 #BrazilianGP

[MV33Racing🏎 @MV33Racing]

The FIA claims to always put safety first, but not in 2024.

Here you see Hulkenberg walking alongside the track, already out of the car for a while, and still no (Virtual) Safety Car.

Safety is being traded here for McLaren’s interests. The FIA is a complete clown show 🤬

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

They say what goes around, comes around… 😮.

LANDO NORRIS WINS THE SPRINT IN SÃO PAULO ⚡🇧🇷

[ESPN F1 @ESPNF1]

Lando had an abrupt answer when asked about his championship battle with Max.

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Poor George Russell always looks like he’s on the verge of tears in the media pen…

#F1 #BrazilianGP #F1Sprint

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

If Norris thought it was hard getting past Verstappen, Piastri will be much the same…

#F1 #BrazilianGP #F1Sprint

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Hill should know; Schumacher intimidated and terrified him during their battles. #F1

[Motorsport @Motorsport]

Damon Hill stands by his criticism of Verstappen's driving, saying he uses "fear and intimidation" against his #F1 rivals.

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

FFS. Either swearing is or isn’t a problem and attracts a fine and/or community service. This shouldn’t still be rumbling on nearly a week later.

This is the sort of thing that gives credence of theories of bias from the stewards… 🤦‍♂️ #F1

[Motorsport @Motorsport]

🚨 The FIA is still considering whether or not it will investigate Leclerc for swearing in Mexico's press conference, with a call expected on Friday.

#BrazilGP

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

JPM is right but Norris can’t afford DNFs now. Verstappen knows that and that’s the edge he will have over Norris until the season ends. #F1

[PlanetF1 @Planet_F1]

"Lando has way too much respect for him."

Red gloves rule ❤️

Today and every day, we remember Greg Moore.

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Red Gloves Rule #IndyCar

[Champweb @champwebdotnet]

October 31st always has a different meaning for the Indycar community. 25 years ago we lost Greg Moore in an accident at Fontana, California.

Here was the tribute from RPM2Night that evening…

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Here’s a solution to Red Bull’s driver problem: @ValtteriBottas

✅ out of contract
✅ fast enough to be useful
✅ proven team player
✅ increasingly funny on social media.

#F1 #BrazilianGP

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

So, let me get this straight…

1. An @fia steward is publicly discussing application of laws
2. He’s effectively marking Verstappen out before a wheel has turned

Which other pro sport in the world would allow a referee/umpire/judge to talk to the media like this pre-game? #F1

[Motorsport @Motorsport]

FIA steward and former #F1 driver Johnny Herbert believes Mexico penalties "won’t stop Max Verstappen from pushing Lando Norris off the track in the future."

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

He’s hardly likely to say “yes, we are biased and will always favour a British driver”…

[RBR Daily @RBR_Daily]

Johnny Herbert denies allegations of bias in FIA stewarding

"There always seems to be an issue about us British stewards being ‘biased’, but when we’re in that room, we abide by the rules and guidelines from the FIA... To say there’s bias is ridiculous"

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

Damon absolutely owned by this tweet 😆 #F1

[MV33Racing🏎 @MV33Racing]

Be a man and just say you've never respected Max. Max doesn't have a British passport and is seen as the enemy because he's taking the championships away from your countrymen.

Is this the 'sportsmanship' you're talking about when you crashed Michael Schumacher off the track twice?

[MotorSportNotes @motorsportnotes]

The 💩 coming out of Nando’s bum in Mexico was probably faster than the Aston Martin…

#F1

[RaceFans @racefansdotnet]

Aston Martin announce Fernando Alonso will miss media day again in Brazil but say they expect him to take part in the race weekend.

He "suffered with an intestinal infection in the lead up to the Mexico City Grand Prix", say the team.
