The term ‘Hero’ is much abused but, for me, Niki Lauda was a true hero, not just because of what he did in a racing car before and after the accident in 1976, but the way he took on Boeing after the LaudaAir crash. His searing honesty and humour made him a delight to know. RIP

HAM: 'It's really tyres. Everyone's doing 1 stop. This 1 stop thing is boring. At the end of the day, we're just all managing - which is not racing. Everyone's backing off so that tyres don't deflate, blow up, whatever. We have no idea what they're going to do.' #F1 Amen to that

. @JensonButton and that big moment 10 years ago...

Remember when: Jenson Button won the 2009 world championship

Ten years on from Jenson Button securing the world championship at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Maurice Hamilton recalls the chaos and jubilation which followed for the British driver.

Another shocking piece of news this winter. Despite his aristocratic background, a real top bloke; one of the boys. Had us in stitches over his time as a van driver for Williams. Quick and stylish enough to win the F3 title. Lovely, lovely guy. RIP

What the hell is going on, now we’ve lost Johnny Dumfries at 62. A member of our ‘rat pack’ group, full of life and vigour, always with such style. Wonderful man and a fast driver. Condolences to his family. 😔

. @SkySportsF1 ask #F1 Chase Carey what's to be done about huge queues coming into Paul Ricard: "Well, it's great to be popular! We gotta a great crowd here on a Friday and it'll just get bigger as the weekend grows and, er, we'll all have fun." Got that, guys? #plonker

Remembering Russell Bulgin (extreme right), exceptionally gifted British journalist who died of cancer 20 years ago this month. Russell had friendship + trust of Senna (pictured Detroit '85). Persuaded Ayrton to drive rally cars in a Welsh forest. See #Flashback in @motor_sport
