Some real gems at RIAT today. Busiest Wednesday I can remember! A few disappointments with stars that got turned off early and some poorly-timed clouds, but those Moroccans, jeez.

@iris_frs That £4 a week isn't covering that though. It's nonsense (and dishonest) to claim it is. Enormous amounts of it is subsidised by England via the Barnett formula.

@formularacers_ @sergiorf97 My mate and I went to Spa. I'll say what I said back then - every single person of the thousands at that circuit knew from before the lights out time that there could be no race. It was clear and obvious. We all knew what that bollocks about 2 laps was for and it was revolting.

A lot of people don't really care for aviation museums, but I find them one of the most stimulating environments for aviation photography. I find the opportunities for genuinely creative photography are vastly more so than at any airshow or base visit.

@MrTomWaffles @KingSunshineSeb I've been going through lots of old races on F1TV and the only real difference whatsoever is reliability. Tonnes of races were start to finish leads and predictable outcomes and the only thing that changed orders was cars breaking.

@BBCSport As an F1 fan, this is disappointing as it now leaves only an internal process to determine how the race director was allowed to break the regulations in the name of spectacle, and I don't have much faith in that.
