It's now been about a month since I started a new, fulfilling chapter at @therealautoblog. Here's what's been published so far: autoblog.com/author/sebastia… I'll be in the U.K. from 17 August-5 September, so if you want us to cover something, get in touch and we'll make it happen!

Very weird seeing Gatorade and Louis Vuitton sponsoring the same event. @F1 is quite the billboard.

Porsche: We electrified our 911, used a bigger engine, but it only added 100 lbs. Bugatti: We electrified our supercar, used a bigger engine, but it actually weighs *less* than its predecessor. BMW: We electrified our M5. It now weighs as much as a Model X Plaid electric SUV.

Prediction: the inevitable Bugatti Tourbillon “Super Sport” will rev to 10 and the e-motors will push 1,000. We’ll see how this ages.

Finally got a chance to listen to @JasonCammisa and DTS on the @Hagerty Drivers’ Club Network Podcast (I think that’s what it’s called), and got a sense the #piëchisode might use ‘modularity’ to draw comparisons to Tesla’s early manufacturing brilliance. Whatever, can’t wait.

Belief.

Stories of Jaguar’s death/sale to a Chinese company are BS and should be treated as such. @MattHardigree did a great job debunking the rumour for Autopian; Automotive News will also do a report. We can’t and won’t add anything - Jaguar is in good health and we hope it continues.

Uno más.

I’m guessing Sainz to Sauber/Audi and Mick to Merc, but Albon could be in at AMG, too.

Before I forget… #DavidBeckham and I filmed a little something for the Hockey Bowl. We can’t wait for you to see it!! Oh, and Jessica Aniston is going to be in it too!! Kisses xx #JenniferAniston @UberEats #ad

Arguing that Andretti may become another Haas (i.e.: a backmarker that may come and go) is ludicrous.

This is Andretti we’re talking about - one of the biggest names in motorsport. Absurd is an understatement.

A reminder that Red Bull bought Minardi, renamed it to Toro Rosso which is a direct translation "Red Bull" into Italian, then renamed it to AlphaTauri which is the name of a star they've given to a clothing brand, and have now renamed it to Visa Cash App RB - with two title sponsors plus an "RB" that according to the teams promotional material should be referred to as RB and RB only, even though they're owned by Red Bull, and according to their own website they're registered as "Racing Bulls SpA", but because they've not given the team a naming identity beyond "RB" plus these title sponsors, instead of internally calling the team "Racing Bulls", which would obviously make the most sense, internally they're calling the team "VCARB", which sounds like some kind of supplement that keeps your poo solid. 👍
