Did drivers get a road-trip-to-pickup mode @UberINSupport ?

Most Indians are one hospital bill away from sliding into poverty. This has consistently been on my mind since the day I heard it articulated like this. It's true. It's sad. It's eye-opening.

Some thoughts on road safety in India and the problems that aren’t getting better: youtu.be/A0sY3VDQq44 Fun fact: Airbags can do some serious damage if the people they’re meant to save aren’t buckled up #RoadSafety @RoadsOfMumbai

This is an appreciation post for @sanjayp_1 sir! A fool’s wrong side driving is what cost me my vehicle I spent years working for and damn near my life. If we don’t punish bad behaviour on the road, we’re actively encouraging it. Glad to see the police crack down on this!

Although I work for @McLarenF1, I’ve not been involved in the design of the new car. So I feel like I can openly help fans understand the technical differences between our car and the Aston Martin, with an insider, engineer’s perspective… 🧵 #F1
Hyundai India must be in such an older sibling mood right now. “ग़ू तेरे मुह से निकली, सफ़ाई मुझसे क्यूँ करवा रहे हैं?” #Hyundai

Meanwhile, on a private jet high over the Persian Gulf, Kimi Raikkonen briefly lowers a neat vodka from his lips and mutters, "What? The Dutch guy? Okay, whatever."

Thanks to the ace new @autocar archive, you can now see in one screenshot exactly what got @MrJamesMay fired nearly 30 years ago. Just read the drop capitals in order. A few of us were involved, but he alone took the rap. Not that his career exactly suffered as a result…

I think #serverdown day should be a weekly thing. Just as a relief from the social media bear trap. Above all, offices will realise how 99.99% of WhatsApps were never important enough to become an email.
Series of accidents on the south bound lane of Vakola flyover. Possibly diesel/oil spill. Traffic rerouted from under flyover. @mumbaitraffic

Was worried about #F1 returning to regular scheduled boring programming but the #FrenchGP has been great!

Always knew it but convinced further. There is no topic/no aspect of life that @JeremyClarkson cannot make catastrophically interesting! #ClarksonsFarm is a show that just makes you happy.

Baku made up for the snoozefest than was Monaco. What a race!!
Anyone who thinks Monaco was better than that is a knob. Superb entertainment on every level.

The @LandoNorris grid penalty is unreasonable. Fastest spot of the track (& season) and he clearly did what he did in the interest of safety.

This might be the first ministerial interview that hasn't pissed me off. No sugar coating and a clear idea of intent by @AUThackeray. Hope the execution works out the way it's been envisioned: youtube.com/watch?v=47ARQehm…
Car safety features don't guarantee accident avoidance. But they give you a huge buffer to ensure you live to drive another day. That's what vaccines do. #VaccinesWork
