I think it might be worth clarifying to the people who are currently making fun/memes of certain drivers in the #GTWorld field that competed in Paul Ricard 6hour. The blue flag rules of the championship are currently not really working as it should, and I personally hope 1/?

They should get a watch manufacturer as main sponsor to make sure that doesn't happen again

KATHERINE LEGGE ADVANCES!!! Hasn't been to the speedway in a decade One off in a team that is clearly struggling for pace Beats all of her full time teammates with 1 run An absolutely amazing display The Indy 500 is something else #Indy500

My @SkyNews interview exposing Braverman’s lies is approaching 2 million views. This is democracy in action. #BritainIsBetterThanTheTories teapawt.org/BestForBritain/status/…

Glad to go home safe tonight. For the respect of Jules, all his family and for our safety and the one of the marshals, there should never be any tractor nor marshals on track in such conditions with such poor visibility. Period.

How can we make it clear that we never want to see a crane on track? We lost Jules because of that mistake. What happened today is totally unacceptable!!!!! I hope this is the last time ever I see a crane on track!

The moment Checo passes the crane when the red flag hadn’t even been deployed yet. “Is it not clear that we don’t wanna see, ever, a crane on the track?”

Wtf. How’s this happened!? We lost a life in this situation years ago. We risk our lives, especially in conditions like this. We wanna race. But this… Unacceptable.

For a man that was roasted in F1 years, he's gotten better and better in #IndyCar since joining. This is not the surprise you think it is. And that might be the greatest endorsement of all. Congrats Marcus.
MARCUS ERICSSON WINS THE INDY 500! #Indy500

Well, that was not the 2018 Sauber driver I'd have expected to take a massive win today. #F1 #Ericsson #Indy500

It’s been a long, winding, and difficult road to this point and the journey is not over, but thankful we’ll be able to move down the road with a bit more speed! I’ll be joining @BHA for the 2022 @IMSA season and piloting one of their @hyundai Elantras. Now, let’s go win.

A bit surprised to hear @Aric_Almirola is retiring at the end of next season. I admire his reasons and putting his family first. Aric drove for @JRMotorsports at a critical time in its existence and helped our program improve. I will always be grateful for that. Enjoy 2022 #10.
