An unfortunate aspect of established or establishment commentators voicing niche categories is that they never quite recognise when talking is necessary and silence is optimum.

Nothing on, so watching an old episode of "The Big Match Revisited" on ITVX.
Southampton v Man City from 1980 and they are kicking the living shit out of each other. Ref just waves it on with a shrug.

Now confirmed by #F1: Imola has been stood down as a season finale possibility.
"We cannot let Imola wait indefinitely. Therefore we have informed them today that we will not require them at the end of the season." – at Le Beausset, France
Oh Christ, it could actually get worse that it is now?!
.@TKOGrp, the owner of UFC and WWE, is the most sensible bidder for @F1, according to a Wall Street analyst who covers the companies, following John Malone’s maneuver this week that resulted in him selling key shares. sportsbusinessjournal.com/Ar…

New signing! 👏 Alexa Rendell joins the Sky Sports F1 team ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix as our new F1 Multimedia Journalist 🏁
Very, very sad to wake to the news of the passing of Alan Jones, the first driver to win a World Championship with Williams F1.

Confirmation from Cadillac of another FP1 outing for Colton Herta at Interlagos, as he goes in search of that final Super Licence point
A clean FP1 with enough running will allow him to apply for a Super Licence, and could see him replace Valtteri Bottas next season #F1

Today marks exactly 10 years since Hacker T. Dog delivered the greatest unscripted line in British television history.

For those who might be curious after the Colton Herta F1 licensing issue that came to light, IndyCar's Timing & Scoring team is the only trusted source for driver points and championship placement. Can't think of a time where I've gone to the series' website for such info.
The post-race T&S reports are where the paddock gets the facts within an hour or less of the finish. Can't say why TWG/Andretti didn't access the same IRIS site as everyone else to confirm Colton's championship placement, but it's been sitting there, unaltered, since Aug. 31, 2025, as P7. Same with the Drivers' standings PDF after the season finale at Nashville.
To doublecheck, I just downloaded the PDFs sent via email by the series shortly after the checkered flag in 2025, and it matches what's on IRIS today with P7.
I understand there was an error on the IndyCar.com site that listed Colton as P6, but my first thought went to IRIS and the ready resource to confirm accuracy.

I’ve heard multiple similar accounts, some firsthand and some second hand. People in the paddock don’t want to go to Qatar, and some are starting to make that known.
