Monaco Well I’m sure even the most die hard F1 fans , share the thought : the Ferrari win at the weekend and for Charles was well deserved and hugely popular . His Pole quite outstanding & given the levels at which multiple Giant talents are now Pedaling ~a serious statement of things to come ! This begs the question , what did Lewis see ,as he prepared to put pen to paper ! However having been in Monaco for F1 on more than 20 occasions including ,during the Senna era : the overtaking or “ serious lack of it “ is for me the stand out feature in Monaco of this year & not a welcome one . If ever there was a doubt that todays Aero with dimensions of cars that come with it ,is to the detriment of spectators - Sunday was that visual confirmation . Monaco is of course narrow & arguably the greatest Street Circuit of them all : but with multiple braking Zones , slow speed corners and undulations ,it’s a track Drivers of years gone by loved . It’s a limited number of informed persons ,that know what the Rule changes for 2026 bring : but I for one ,so much hope the cars can follow 0n track & importantly are of dimensions that afford the Space to pass . F1 is of course intended to show case and encourage cutting edge Technology of tomorow it is of course a laboratory for features on road cars to come : let’s not forget a modern F1 car requires the best Athletes in the World to extract performance ~ there is a danger the FIA will curb this to the point a willing Audience can evaporate & all this as F1 conquers new levels of following and arguably has a trajectory of Growth not seen before . Here is hoping 2026 and beyond provides a Catalyst for increased popularity 👍 The Win this recent Weekend delivered emotions and confidence in Spades : let the Ferrari / Mclaren era resume !

🌟 Your value doesn't diminish because of decisions beyond your control. (Read that again). It's your skill, your drive, and your results that define you. Want an example? Look no further than Carlos Sainz. 🏁 Over the last 476 days, amidst the dominance of Red Bull Racing, he stands out as the only other driver to clinch an F1 race win. At the Bahrain Grand Prix, Carlos showed us again what he's made of. Now, with Ferrari choosing not to renew his contract, it's clear that his career is about more than the team he drives for. Carlos’ talent goes beyond the confines of a single team or season, and any team will be lucky to have him in 2025. Remember, in your own career, it's not the title or the company that truly count. It's the reputation you build, the personal records you set, and the goals you achieve. So here's to Carlos Sainz and everyone else who keeps pushing forward, no matter the track or the ride. 🏎️💨 Meme: F1 Troll #F1 #CarlosSainz

The Qatar Grand Prix was an eventful race, showcasing both the thrilling unpredictability of motorsport and the controversies that fuel endless debate. Alexander Albon’s detached mirror incident was a prime example of how small issues can spiral into race-altering moments. The debris from his car caused punctures for both Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz, significantly impacting their races. The penalties were another major talking point. Lando Norris’s 10-second stop-and-go penalty for failing to slow under double-waved yellow flags was a harsh blow for McLaren. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton faced challenges both on and off the track with multiple penalties, including a hefty fine for crossing the track after his collision with George Russell. Amid all this, Ferrari still holds a chance at the Constructors’ Championship, and as a lifelong Ferrari fan, I can’t help but dream of them finally reclaiming the title. The team hasn’t won the Constructors’ Championship in nearly 20 years, and seeing that magic happen again would be incredible. What are your thoughts on these controversies, and can Ferrari make history this season? Let’s discuss. #QatarGP #Motorsport #Formula1 #Ferrari #ScuderiaFerrari #CarlosSainz #LandoNorris #LewisHamilton #Racing #MotorsportPassion

R̶e̶d̶ Blue Ferrari: do you know the story behind it? It goes back to 1964... When Enzo Ferrari, in a dramatic stand, vows never to race in Italy's red again. Why? Politics, deception, or a legendary defiance that changed racing forever? It's not sure. The root of it all? Disagreements over regulations and a deep-seated feud with the FIA and Italy's ACI. It started with the 250 GTO and a clever, yet controversial, move to meet homologation rules. Fast forward to 1964, the 250 LM faces homologation rejection, igniting Enzo's fury. His response? A bold declaration to abandon Italy's racing red. The United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen was the first occasion. The championship contender John Surtees and colleague Lorenzo Bandini find themselves driving for a "fresh team": The North American Racing Team.  (Blue and white of the United States) Surtees won the 1964 World Championship in Mexico, a historic victory making him the only champion on both 2 and 4 wheels, and the first to win in a Ferrari not adorned in its iconic red.
