Very good Liberty Media ... keep concentrating on Social Media and "engaging young fans" ... while the rest of us are more interested in progress from those machines which go around in circles (scrap that, we are not talking Nascar) ... the show which Liberty Media is going to take to new heights (scrap that, we are not talking Indycar either).
Cars which can follow closely, great tracks with excellent overtaking opportunities, noisy engines and the best driver in the cockpit, not a paid or sponsor padded robot. There! ... that sounds more realistic (insert dripping sarcasm smiley somewhere about here!!!).
All the best,
Cal :)

FYI - in case you haven't heard, Twitter is the latest safety breach and they are strongly recommending everyone with an account should change their password and in case you use the same password somewhere else, you should also change those.

I wouldn't go on twitter even if they paid me, especially after what I've read about it.
-
I go on Twitter. Like most things it is what you make it. Can be a complete zoo, or a decent way to keep up with friends. Lots of politics, lots of art, lots of fandoms, lots of trolls. You just control who you engage with.
-
Totally agree. Twitter is a tool. Depends on how you use it, what you get out of it. Not terribly dangerous, but can at times be addictive. For example iff there is a catastrophe or crisis in the world that I have an interest in, Twitter is where I go. If I can’t watch an F1 race live, but still want to keep up with the action or get some inside info, Twitter is where I go.
That said, I have no idea about Instagram and Snapchat. :DntKnw: :DntKnw:
-
Instagram is Twitter with pictures or short videos instead of tweets. They use captions, but it's the picture that counts. Snapchat is Instagram but dirtier because the picture supposedly automatically disappears after x number of seconds; but we all know nothing ever completely disappears from the internet.

I've never gotten into Twitter. It's always been a security nightmare. Besides that, I've never felt the need to tell the whole world what I had for breakfast. ;)

Well... don't leave us hanging!
What IS the breakfast of champions?
-
Today - Microwave pancakes & a glass of chocolate milk.
-
Why microwave? Pancakes are practically as fast in the pan made fresh... I can whip up a stack of French Toast in about 5minutes. Pancakes another 2-3min.

Can everyone please form an orderly queue, Scott is in charge of Breakfasts on next weekends Race Day!!! ... so get your knife & fork and plates at the ready!! .. it's "Social Eatery" time :DD :DD
I'll be ordering Scott's Porridge myself!
All the best,
Cal :)
-
I want the full Swiss please Scott.

Breakfasts are actually my game. Light and quick to heavy gourmet, I’ve got you covered.

In that case, can I order a spanish omelette 6 hours prior to the green light this coming Sunday? ... Also, if you could make it "McLaren Orange" ... that would be a nice touch!!! ... oh yes, and I will be eating it while sitting on a Deck Chair!!! :DD
All the best,
Cal :)
-
That is my gourmet breakfast. A more normal one would be Little Debbies & Mt. Dew.
I am not a "morning person." :lazy:

You were right; we don't want you to tweet your breakfast! ;)

Okay, so breakfast at your place, providing you can offer a private jet to take us straight to Catalunya? ... otherwise, if you have sufficient facilities on site (60 inch telly, plenty of chilled bear, snacks) ... then let us know where to sign up!!
I would expect the same hospitality for Imola, only difference being, a Pizza for breakfast!!
All the best,
Cal :)

Speaking as a Twitter user... ...it would have been nice if we'd been told about this by Twitter, rather than third-hand by a journalist and a non-user of the service...

You jest, but I have thought about trying out some kind of Breakfast/Lunch Cafe, but I there is a cultural problem in that hardly anyone here ever eats a warm breakfast. I don't think I could successfully introduce it.

My breakfast today was seafood, mixed vegetables with Mexican spices, garlic bread and chips. Yesterday I was in a hotel so had an English breakfast minus the baked beans. Wednesday it was pasta in black bean sauce with beetroot, onions and peas...
People tend to look at me funny when they realise I treat breakfasts the way most people treat lunch or dinner, and also have unconventional notions of food combinations.

I like the sound of most of those breakfast variety combinations, so I won't be looking at you funny, more likely holding a paper plate out for sample opportunities!!! :D

Two things don't go down my gullet. Small round mushy things (peas, beans, lentils) and underwater insects (anything exoskeleton, though I have enjoyed crab in sushi). That would be the only problem I have with Aliana's breakfasts.

Q: How can you tell if a grocery store was designed by a man?
A: The Little Debbies are in the breakfast food isle.
Q: How can you tell when a young man in a grocery store has just moved into his 1st apartment?
A: He asks the clerk where they keep the toast.

My first culinary insight when I moved out was:
"Microwaves make lousy toasters"

If you leave it in long enough, the bread will get hard as rock ;)

How about a classic F1 toaster? It puts a map of the Nürburgring Nordschleife on your bread.

...and then I can't bite into it, which means it is still lousy toast :(
