Didn't think there'd be much of a sunset tonight because of the opaque skies. And then I caught this, quite by luck.

We were shown some of the raw footage here in secondary school - 16, 17? - and none of us forgot it. It's devastating. You need to go out into the sunshine afterwards and hug someone.

Little #F1 content here on Bluesky yet but I am hopeful that we can build a community as the new season approaches.
Good to hear Charles Leclerc's music played (premiered?) on #Radio3 today, as part of a Words and Music programme celebrating racing in its various forms.
