So sad to hear that my dear friend, Eric Bhat, has passed away. One of the very best French F1 journalists, Eric was there, in the centre of the 1977-1987 French F1 revolution, bringing wit and class to that brave new world. Pic of Eric (left), with Bernard Asset by Mario Luini

Just us on the range tonight...

Looks like another warm one.

All the best for Sunday!

Serious dust on the Acropolis shakedown this morning. NEU and KAT quickest in the 35deg ambient

SS1 #AcropolisRally delayed by "unforeseen traffic congestion in Athens". I think they mean "anti-war/Trump protests". I feel sorry for the crews. It's a hot 2.5hr drive from Rally HQ to Athens, all in the name of having a short, showcase stage in a big city.

The interior of the latest Aston Martin architectural project (Tokyo). Not bad.. but not a patch on the designs Lady Virginia Williams created for the houses of both Mansour Ojjeh and Sir Ron Dennis back in the early 1990s.

Remember Jim Clark like this, in a Lotus 25, at Reims, #OnThisDay in ’63, en route to grand chelem victory 1min 4.9sec ahead of the field, having never been headed & having driven fastest lap, a day after having taken the pole 0.7sec up on the 2nd-placed man. Pic: Bernard Cahier.

With his engine misfiring, Jim used the wet late in the race to pull away from Graham Hill's BRM.Afterwards, Jim crossed the track and climbed up to the media grandstand to talk to the press. No-one asked him to do that - and he had no obligation to do so.

Congrats, Gus. Excellent drive.

I took this pic at a Snetterton test in April, 1967. That's Richard Attwood talking to the owner of the smart F2 Cooper-FVA - the very talented Bob Gerard, who finished P6 in the race we're celebrating this weekend - the 1950 British GP. Oh yes: and that's my Mum just behind Bob

I can sit for hours, watching a combine in a wheat field. One of the greatest of human inventions.

All the key runners have the same number of Pirelli tyre sets available but strategies are fluid, particularly if you factor-in potential SC interventions. #BritishGP

Two years on from its debut, this latest version of the Hydrogen-fuelled H2 Toyota Yaris will be demonstrated on July 31 in the Rally of Finland by Juha Kankkunen. Lots of noise but zero-emissions from the internal combustion engine!

Good to see Carlos Alcaraz back in Spain tonight, playing great golf on "our" course.

It was a lovely evening for golf, too.

Wow. Three stage P1s and the lead in the Rally Estonia after Day 1. Congrats to Oliver Solberg, here squeezed between two World Champions - Thierry Neuville and Ott Tänak (right).

One more stage to go. The biggest moment in the life of Ollie Solberg #rallyestonia
