The text "Williams F1 Team". The W is leaning to the right and one edge of the W looks like a numeral 1. The style looks very much like old times.

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 17h

Kinda like the 'old yet new' Williams logo. All the hallmarks of the 80s/90s one in a fresher way.

"Williams F1 Team" coming back gives me '00s vibes as well, the era surrounding and including the BMW days.
To be properly nostalgic maybe it should've been "Williams Grand Prix Engineering".

I remember things like the car liveries. I know I watched this race. Not a clue what happened.

Verstappen in a Toro Rosso overtakes Perez in a Force India, side by side through 1 & 2, Martin Brundle says "and that is why Max Verstappen WILL become World Champion, that kind of car control".

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 18h

Things I thought were 2020s introductions like the extra runoff at Interlagos, the superimposed ads on the grass, the UBS and DHL logos all over, that's all there.
The huge Heineken area inside Mergulho isn't there yet.

Sky F1 are showing highlights of the 2014 + 2015 Brazilian GPs, I feel like I blanked out that whole era, I barely remember any of it.

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 2d

The motorsport connection being that Brackley is the home of Mercedes AMG F1 of course

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 2d

Brackley Town just beat Notts County, who play a league above them, on penalties in the FA Cup on BBC2.

1) IMMENSE decider. Remember it like it was yesterday.
2) You know how crushing it is knowing we have a Triple Header AFTER the best closer on the calendar?!

Just watched the Brazil 2012 highlights. My goodness we need this track back in the finale slot.

Very wet, Sutton made up 9 places in 3 laps, then heavy rain cars aquaplaning, red flag a bit late!
Resumed with good race Sutton chasing Ingram, 0.2sec at the end.
Earned their money, such tricky conditions.

Meanwhile, my cat who hangs out on the sofa doesn't want to sit on the seat any more, but trying to sleep on the arm instead. He goes to the seat then gets up again.

I gave him flea treatment last week. Does he think there's fleas on the seat...

Another wet one, grip was changing so much the cars were going up and down the midfield and the top three changed around.

3 and 4 wide around a damp Silvo short track, sure why not. Gornall got away. Everyone else inches apart!

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 6d

The way they both cut through the traffic was fun to see, like they'd been in WEC for years.

Porsche Carrera Cup GB | 2024 Silverstone R2 | Silverstone National;

Abbie Eaton wins! Darting through traffic with G Gamble right behind, won by 1.6sec. ProAm beat Pro. Strange one, top 9 on wets on a damp track, everyone else chose wrong and got lapped.

Cant believe Bob Seconds won the Mexican Grand Prix. Well done Bob

A graphic from F1 media that says "30.3 seconds. Largest winning margin of the season". But the font they've used makes it look like it says Bob instead of 30.3

So this was never a VSC, but considering the colossal screw up earlier with the marshals, they were covering their own arse.

Meredith 🏁 @nightmere.bsky.social · 8d

did this really need to be a VSC?

I understand their caution to some extent but surely you just leave the car where it is for the last couple of laps and cover it with yellows

Ferrari back to 2nd.
Haas (62) jump Sauber (60) for 8th. Aston Martin and Racing Bulls should worry.

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 8d

Bearman moves up to 13th, tied with Stroll on 32.
Ocon tied with Lawson on 30.

Not that Norris should care. He won a race by half a minute and it sets him on course with a chance to win a title. He'll be fine.

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 8d

These guys are risking their lives for sport and should only be booed if they do some shit like run a driver into the wall or fix the race. :looks at Schumacher:

Pat W @toomuchracing.bsky.social · 8d

Not a fan of boos in motorsports, this isn't football.

Except for Horner at F1 Live. That was hilarious.
