    Formula 1 is set to change its scoring system this year by giving a point to the driver who sets the fastest lap in a grand prix.

    I'm so happy, this the first new rule I think I've ever liked! I feel a bit emotional.

    I really hope that people in the future look back at this cis-male and womxn stuff as the nonsense it is. I hope it doesn't just get worse and worse. This womxn likes a nice cis-male :)

    Ronnie O'Sullivan - legend. 1,000 centuries and he had to do it left handed! (I played club snooker for 30 years and could never score more than 35!)

    Me and some lads went to our local
    Snooker club just before Christmas for a change. The frames were very, very long. If anyone potted a second red within the same visit, they were looking good for highest break :(

    TV rights for F1 are a bit crap. Sky have seemingly bullied everyone with their deal, and have put loads of restrictions in place for the highlight show.

    That’s terrible, tragic news. SO young and such an important person in F1. By all accounts, a really nice guy too. RIP Charlie - F1 will miss you. Thoughts with his family :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Looks like Mercedes kept their cards close to their chest in pre-season testing.
