What an honour to host the final panel of the day at #F1Accelerate with movie royalty Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinski. Their F1 movie sounds incredible. They’re creating an 11th team and filming on track and on event from Silverstone to the end of the year. They’ve spent 18 months taking what they learnt on Top Gun Maverick to develop the smallest moveable 6k camera ever designed to take the viewer into the cockpit. A cockpit in which their stars will actually drive. That’s right. Brad Pitt driving an F1 car from Silverstone onwards

@davemusing @karunchandhok Thanks for this Dave. I understand the disappointment created by the result, believe me. But my hope people can make peace with it comes from the fact I don’t think that the result can or will be overturned. As you've been so detailed in your explanation, I'll try to be in mine. @davemusing @karunchandhok Sport has, at its root, human judgement. Now this can, and often does, go wrong as humans are fallible. The list of questionable decision making in major sporting events is long and extends far beyond Formula 1 and just Abu Dhabi. Just ask Roy Jones Jr. Any England football fan.

Ok so what’s the competitive order?

It’s incredibly hard to tell. This is a clean sheet of paper and the biggest rules upheaval in a generation. Maybe ever.

But here’s a rough idea of where I think pace lies and teams might be… (caveat: it’s testing and I’m probably wrong) Top Tier

1 Red Bull - balanced, rapid, no concerns

2 Ferrari - best pre season I’ve seen from them in years. Without RBR final 30 minutes they’d likely be P1

3 Mercedes - work to do but can’t quite bring myself to believe they’re midfield.

While Hamilton’s assertion that yesterday’s contact and penalty for Verstappen sets an important precedent, is it the right one?

A thread… When a driver leaves the pits and other cars are on the straight, the driver exiting is shown a blue light at pit exit and a blue flag is waved as shown here. This is because the onus is on them not to cede position but to re-enter the track mindfully.

With the embargo lifted today on reviews for season 3 of Drive to Survive, I can honestly so it's the best so far. The consistency across the series as a whole and the quality of the story telling is outstanding. The Mercedes and Ferrari episodes in particular are excellent. The Mercedes episode is incredibly heartfelt and human, with a real gut punch ending. The Ferrari episode is also brilliantly and unexpectedly candid as the team's relationship with Sebastian deteriorates. A conversation between Seb and Christian Horner is a real wow moment, too.

Been thinking about this for a while but I reckon hula hoops with shoulder straps might be our best means of ensuring social distancing. I’ve made a diagram incase anyone wants to build a prototype. Don’t worry. I wasn’t being sexist with the diagram for the apparatus. As you can see from this diagram, it’s a unisex design that both men and women can use!

Lockdown with Ayrton. A series of gifs.

Don't congregate in groups This is wrong and does not qualify as social distancing

Many many moons ago, I spoke to Sir Stirling Moss about the five races he considered to be his finest in Formula 1 machinery. We went through his diaries and scrapbooks. The piece appeared in the final F1 Magazine in February 2004. Here’s what he held as his top 5 Berne, 54. “I did not win. I can’t even remember if I finished. But I took provisional pole in the wet in my private Maserati and my performance impressed Neubauer enough for him to sign me.”
