On the plus side: Sky taking over F1 means that we'll get much more team radio. #hacking 08:14:48 AM July 29, 2011 from TweetDeck

Classic poor timing from F1 re: Sky deal. I'm sure they will announce the F1 show will be presented by Andy Coulson. 07:34:20 AM July 29, 2011 from TweetDeck

Jenson Button complaining about something other than "MASSIVE FRONT LOCKING." It's a start I suppose. #f1 12:38:59 PM June 24, 2011 from TweetDeck

I like how FOM tells us it's a thermal image, just in case we were wondering if anyone had slipped LSD into our coffee. #f1 11:50:18 AM May 07, 2011 from TweetDeck

Fiat involved in #F1 takeover? Talk about conflict of interest! It'd be like a standard ECU being built by one of the teams ... oh wait ... 03:50:46 PM May 04, 2011 from TweetDeck

F1 teams in solidarity with football fans

Written by Red Andy on 14 June 2010

The Formula One Teams’ Association have declared that they agree with football fans who wish to see the vuvuzela banned for crowds watching World Cup games in South Africa.

The controversial horn-like devices have attracted complaints from fans, players and officials alike, who see them as an annoyance and a distraction.

“Having watched a few World Cup games on TV, we agree that the vuvuzela should be banned forthwith,” FOTA President Martin Whitmarsh said. “It defies belief that these professional sportspeople are expected to do their jobs in the face of such a massive distraction from the noise generated by these devices.”

The rest of Whitmarsh’s comments were drowned out by the sound of 24 passing V8 engines.
