F1 Writer at Autosport. Oh, and once I saw a blimp.
- The mythology of Adrian Newey, in meme form
- How to work out who's cool and who isn't: use the word "cromulent" in an article and check the reactions. A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
- Five back-to-back world championships won by a Belgian - @filipcleeren.bsky.social must be delighted!
- Last #F1 Friday of the year - and here's how it's all shaping up for Abu Dhabi. www.autosport.com/f1/news/what...
- Because I'm sure everyone was curious as to what noises I expose my ears...
- Behind the scenes from #LasVegasGP FP2 of the marshal reporting a moving manhole cover:
- Rewatching Canada 2011, and this pops up during the two-hour-long rain delay. DC on comms: "He looks like he's got that guy backed into a corner" Gee I wonder who "that guy" is...
- REVEALED - Lando Norris' repercussions for his Singapore GP incident with Oscar Piastri:
- I googled "synonyms for wind": www.autosport.com/f1/news/how-...
- My bit with Oscar is in this week's mag - with a tenuous comparison to a tennis great. Buy it at whatever WHSmith is called now, or your local newsagents (and feel free to put the other copies on the front row of the newsstands)
- What is Oscar Piastri's approach to fighting for an #F1 title? How has he improved since joining the grid in 2023? All of this and more in an exclusive interview with the man himself! www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Y1...
- I wish I could be half the interviewer that Roddick is - this is great.
- We've been discussing our favourite F1 seasons on our Retro podcast. Here's mine; you can listen to it during a variety of different situations: - In the car - While doing the washing up - Walking the dog - Audio testing at Glastonbury - Funerals - and more! audioboom.com/posts/873749...
- Done a bit on Red Bull's Montreal appeal. As you can probably tell, it wound me up a bit: www.autosport.com/f1/news/red-...
- PSG cinq, Inter sank #UCLFinal
- I might be overthinking this but I genuinely don't know how to refer to Monaco's hairpin in copy. I think we need an arbitration board to decide if it's Station, Loews, Fairmont, Grand Hotel, Leclerc Corner, or Tighty Lefty Roundy-Round. #MonacoGP
- Crunched the numbers from #ImolaGP practice. Feel free to read it right now. Or whenever's convenient for you...maybe next year? www.autosport.com/f1/news/what...
- Penned this week's Autosports cover feature on the situation at Red Bull - the Schrödinger's title contender this season. Pop down to your local papyrus merchant and trade a few mere gold coins for the latest edition ⬇️ #F1
- Verstappen was over a tenth down on his previous best in the opening seven corners of his #MiamiGP pole lap. Wanna know how he recovered to do the job, and where Lando Norris just missed out? This might help: www.autosport.com/f1/news/how-...
- "See the boy, five dollars - or call him 24 hours a day on KimiChat"
- Honestly believe Red Bull has a much better car than it says it does - but it's making Verstappen work harder to reach the extremities of its performance level. Here's a bit on that: www.autosport.com/f1/news/prob...
- No real long runs to go on after the #SaudiArabianGP red flag in FP2, but there's a few things we can read into it: www.autosport.com/f1/news/what...
- Grumpy opinion: I genuinely believe people should only get to take one piece of hand luggage on board a plane - and it should only be backpack sized. The amount of time lost to people trying to stuff their little wheely suitcase into an already full overhead bin is wild...
- That won't buff out
- Can't believe they've not renamed it "Tsunoda Station" yet
- Could you tell I've been binge-watching House over the past few days? A bit on why Haas' VF-25 isn't going to plan: www.autosport.com/f1/news/insi...
- Post-grand prix fun complete: hard not to have enjoyed that race. Start as you mean to go on; if that maxim is true, 2025 should be quite a lot of fun
- Some musings on Drive to Survive, Death in Paradise, and tales of the F2 paddock in 2018. (Don't ask why my name is in the headline, I didn't do it) www.autosport.com/f1/news/jake...
- Drop intro? Go on then. Why V10s can't be, for want of a better phrase, brought back... www.autosport.com/f1/news/why-...

- Can you turn sewage into racecar fuel? Yes. And here's how: www.autosport.com/general/news...
- 25 years ago, Jenson Button beat Bruno Junqueira to the vacant Williams seat in a shootout... ...yes, you've probably heard this one before, but maybe not from Bruno's point of view: www.autosport.com/f1/news/over...
- First issue of the new monthly Autosport has landed! And boy it's got some heft - if you like paper, go get it (there's a pun in this that I'm very proud of - can you find it?)
