If Verstappen does have an exit clause which kicks in if he's outside the championship top three at the summer break, then Russell out-scoring him in both races last weekend and closing within six points is significant. #F1 #MiamiGP #RaceFans

NEW: Max Verstappen lost 6.5 seconds before giving up his attempt to keep Lando Norris behind. Is Norris right to say Verstappen "ruined his race"?

Max Verstappen has been summoned by the stewards for potentially failing to obey the minimum delta time in qualifying. #F1 #MiamiGP #RaceFans

Miami's previous deal was due to expire in 2031. It reveals a lot about F1's priorities that they chose to (massively) extend that contract before doing the same with COTA's, which runs out next year. bsky.app/profile/race... #F1 #MiamiGP #RaceFans

NEW: Red Bull made a tactical decision not to give up the lead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix when Max Verstappen faced the threat of a penalty.

A small step in the right direction but far more needs to be done. Age controls must be robust and social media must face the threat of massive fines in order to compel them to take their responsibilities seriously. bsky.app/profile/theg...

Can't help but think some of those who were pushing the 'McLaren should back their leading driver in the championship' narrative hard last year may not feel the same way given the present standings. #F1 #RaceFans

I make that four consecutive slow pit stops in grands prix for Verstappen now - three because of his team plus his penalty today. #F1 #RaceFans

The combination of President Trump’s trade policies and hostile rhetoric toward much of the rest of the world are creating a chill in international travel to the U.S. That shift might cost the U.S. $90 billion in revenue this year when combined with product boycotts.

Too cynical to suggest Hamilton deliberately made life tougher for Verstappen than he did for Piastri? #F1 #RaceFans

It goes without saying that swearing and expressing an opinion are not the same thing. bsky.app/profile/race... #F1 #RaceFans

Verstappen's turn one corner cut on Piastri was similar to what he did with Hamilton in 2021. On that occasion the race director, Michael Masi, took the unusual step of giving Red Bull the option of handing back the place or risking a penalty. www.racefans.net/2021/12/06/n... #F1

Bortoleto's next debrief with his manager's going to be fun... #F1 #RaceFans

Red Bull showing how accepting a five-second time penalty can be better than giving up a place. With Russell six seconds behind Verstappen has now lost nothing but isn't suffering in Piastri's wake. #F1 #RaceFans

Second race in a row Tsunoda has failed to give enough space to a driver overtaking him on the outside. #F1 #RaceFans

Instead of yet another 'should he give up the lead for going off the track' row, let's have a conversation about how new tracks should not be signed off if they have corner configurations and run-off areas which allow such moves. #F1 #RaceFans

Everyone knows the curse of the commentator. But on his radio in Bahrain, Isack Hadjar experienced the curse of the race engineer... #F1 #BahrainGP #RaceFans

Almost a week since @werahobhouse.bsky.social was refused entry to Hong Kong, there are still no answers from authorities as to why. With new reports of Ministers preparing trips to Beijing, I fear the Foreign Sec is turning a blind eye. I've written again to David Lammy to urge action.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

Six races ago race control was being pilloried for failing to use the Safety Car so debris could be cleared, which a car then hit. Now they're wrong for using the Safety Car so debris could be cleared? Can't have it both ways. #F1 #BahrainGP #RaceFans

Will Russell get a penalty for DRS misuse? There are few precedents but in 2013 Ferrari were fined when Fernando Alonso used his DRS three times when it should have been deactivated during the Hungarian Grand Prix. www.racefans.net/2013/07/28/n... #F1 #BahrainGP #RaceFans
