Were they booing Max Verstappen? I thought it was just Horner and the FIA. Those two are fair game.

Jos Verstappen is very territorial about being abusive to his own son

Clue in today's Times (UK) cryptic crossword.

Trying to be restrained in getting excited about this season. If it picks up where it left off it'll be a cracker. But there's no reason it's going to do that. The mystery of pre season is fun.

Got into a contentious discussion over whether the McLaren is orange with black bits or black with orange bits

The livery launch event was fine! Fairly breezy but a little bit naff. Chatting with pals throughout made it fun. Downsides were that the liveries weren't super different from last year and it dragged a bit. But! Better than I thought it would be, easily.

OK so from 19:30 UK time (in 25 mins) I'll be on the F1 Word stream and we'll be chatting through this nonsense live show. Join us. We can hold hands and get through this together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4oT...

Tomorrow I'll be on F1 Word's channel grumpily live commentating over the very silly and expensive F1 Live Livery Launch thing. If the only way you can survive the whole thing is through community cringe hand holding, join us!

Caught up on Formula E and here comes my hot take. Pit Boost was fine.

Every time I see F1 Movie promo footage it's like having a Bad Wolf moment where Apex were there all along and we never noticed

Pirelli full wets could never

Another #Liverywatch note: hard to choose at #Bathurst12h between the early 90s kids toy (#44 Geyer Valmont Racing Audi R8), and the test card (#888 Team GMR Mercedes AMG) 😍

Cannot believe the crooked FIA sacked a driver steward who had his other hand in the gambling industry.

Who hasn't crashed that Ferrari though

He's already been replaced. RIP Hamilton at Ferrari. We barely knew ye

I think I've solved F1. All we need is for everyone to unlearn aerodynamics.

As much as I give Eurosport grief for inflexible broadcasts and all the issues that come from that (spoiler: it is because they have no money), it blows that more motorsport is getting double pay walled. Also, what a brand to say goodbye to! :(

I think some people think this and that's cool. I really hope people get something from it. But the sustained hype of launches dripped over two weeks, I much prefer. Also if they used actual new cars, even better.

It should be a big art attack challenge. All 10 teams have a dummy car on a big stage, they have only primary colours and fat 3 inch brushes. Most accurate to their actual livery gets 10 WCC points. Of course the big teams would employ street artists as 'consultants' to ensure points.

Increasingly baffled as to the point of the big O2 livery launch

Simply cannot accept Verstappen is the 4th longest serving driver on the f1 grid. My brain cannot compute that. It cannot be.

Would watch.
