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

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

As #bbcf1 have just said, this is Renault's final Grand Prix this weekend. Mind you, I think I've seen enough Renault final Grands Prix to make up a season...

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

It's a good job the event name and sponsor are on screen, otherwise I couldn't tell if I was watching RAC Rally coverage or Autumnwatch

Wednesday just gone marked 30 years since a Formula 1 Grand Prix was last started using green lights. Three decades and nobody has ever adequately explained why they got rid of them...

Further clue to the first picture question in tonight's #onlyconnect for the motorsport fans: you could have had Geoff and David Brabham. Never likely to happen, admittedly, and not just because of the relative obscurity for the casual viewer...

Since Pau got a mention in the first clue on tonight's #onlyconnect, here's a picture from the multiple Tour de France host's other great sporting event, the Pau Grand Prix. Specifically, Juan Pablo Montoya en route to a crushing one-lap victory in 1998, his title-winning year

A question on tonight's #onlyconnect allows me to revisit this infographic, which reveals that 35 Andorrans have good taste in cars. Although it's probably actually more like just under 29

This line from TV Tropes about the serial is intriguing, seemingly implying that Nicola Bryant was perfectly happy with being tied up (a fate that seemed to befall Hollyoaks' Peri more than you might imagine too...)

Successfully got the answer "shoft" on tonight's #onlyconnect. Whether that was down to studying the Great Vowel Shift back in university, or this chap even earlier than that, I'll leave you to decide

Thanks to the current US President, I assumed the connection in this #onlyconnect question was things that have been walked on... (no idea where the deep bass fitted in)
Still, better than last night's football-themed special, which contained fewer connections and walls than I'd have liked

The answer is... Yokohama (F1's nine tyre companies have been Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Englebert, Firestone, Goodyear, Michelin and Pirelli - one each for the first seven letters of the alphabet, curiously). And the other answer was "Everything's AOR"
