What a picture! #ItalianGP 🇮🇹

I lost my sister Lisa in the early hours of Monday. Despite Down syndrome, a hole in the heart and other ailments meaning she wasn’t supposed to survive infancy, she lived to see her 50th birthday, and was always so kind, gentle and friendly to everyone. We are devastated 💔

@fairyvobo Your description of the US does not match the part of the US in which I live. Buddy. :)

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@fairyvobo Not where I live, buddy.

While I have you… point to specifically where I *complained* in the original tweet.

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@OptaJoe @ThePaulMachin We may be reaching a little here :)

@elizatsunoda @fairyvobo Born in one country, citizen of a second country, resident of a third country, dentistry from a fourth country…

@MarkLaneF1 Perhaps they’re contractually no longer allowed to use the other person’s name and likeness…

The BBC just posted a full 1969 colour episode of Wheelbase focused on Bruce McLaren’s eponymous racing team. What a thing to see now that they are finally F1 champions in papaya for the first time https://t.co/YbmhYr30Xf

Numbers 5 and 27 at Sauber. One race-winning driver connects them :)

@cxingt $94 for 1.7 miles? The Nice-Monaco helicopter transfer is cheaper per mile than that!

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

Doing my travel expenses. Some interesting contrasts:

Airport-hotel taxi in Doha (7.7 miles): US$13.41
Airport-hotel taxi in Las Vegas (1.7 miles): US94.52

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@LahtiWilliam What about hotel back to the airport? :)

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@ausgreen Can you refute the numbers that I quoted?

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

He ended Daniel Ricciardo's F1 career, he beat Liam Lawson in every qualifying session as teammates in 2024 and he scored RB's three best GP results this year. Red Bull should probably sack him because if this isn't sufficient to deserve a chance then he's better off elsewhere

[Ross @ross_w__]

@virtualstatman Haha, your tweets are never dull.

Yuki was great for his first 3-5 races in 2021? Something like that. Been erratic ever since

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@reloading_Ethan @alexraggy_ So did I, hence why I had low expectations when he landed an F1 seat

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

I must admit, I've also questioned that myself. On the other hand, would Tsunoda have reached F1 were he NOT Japanese, based on his junior results? Perhaps that door of opportunity works in both directions

[pão & sabão @newbarbosa]

@virtualstatman If Yuki was European, teams would be drooling for him

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@ausgreen I do see more F1 than most people. And by chance, i'll be at Anfield on Saturday ;)

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@MrSimonEmms @TheBishF1 @emmofittipaldi @Autodromo_Monza Definitely is, he radiates positivity and kindness around the room

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

@TheBishF1 @emmofittipaldi @Autodromo_Monza He’s such a good guy to work with, so kind and polite to staff and guests when he does hospitality appearances, signs every autograph, takes every picture, even if it means staying later than planned. Like having your favourite uncle come to visit :)

Eddie Jordan has revealed that he is battling cancer, prostate and bladder cancer that has spread to his pelvis and spine, with the spread being labelled “aggressive”. #F1
