Mostly motorsport, but occasionally I'll voice my opinion about other stuff. This doesn't always go well
There's probably an #onlyconnect round on Yamaha products on their own... motorbikes, keyboards, Formula 1 engines (for a while) and... erm... novelty vegetables named after Scandinavian pop groups. Er, possibly

An exciting F1 season summed up the only way I know how: by putting a load of numbers into a spreadsheet and crunching them into a statistical analysis, which I duly regurgitate in the form of one final ranking list of 2025

There were a couple more obvious motorsport connections in tonight's #onlyconnect (the second of which was named after the person he's been merged with, fact fans), but I thought I'd go all in with Hell in Norway. It's got rallycross, so it can't be all bad

As well as the World Championship double, this is the first year ending in a 5 that McLaren have made it through without having to make any changes to their driver line-up #uselessfacts

A bit of a Power Rankings rarity, as I complete this race's column without using the phrases "Abu Dhabi do" or "no great Sheikhs"

Whoever wins tomorrow, I'd be very surprised if many end of year reviews put anyone other than Max Verstappen as their number 1 driver. With the possible exception of my own; I won't do the calculations until after the final race, but bear in mind I ended up with Charles Leclerc at #1 last year...

Just when I thought this week's #onlyconnect motoring connection for this account was going to have to get even more tenuous, they do a connection on motorcycle manufacturers. One of which used to make cars, which takes me back to the recent Hollyoaks feature. It all fits together in the end

I was going to use the occasion of #onlyconnect playing a snatch of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' excellent Zero (my 2009 Single of the Year) to bemoan the lack of the instrumental version, as heard on British Superbike grid rundowns in bygone years, on the You Tubes. But it's there now apparently
