To the world of Formula 1, where sports presenter Jake Humphrey shared some thoughts about new and emerging (and old) talent.

And it caught the attention of this (presumably) Formula 1 fan who also happens to be a Conservative councillor, who suggested Humphrey should stand down and let someone else have a go.

How ridiculous. By your logic it’s time for you to move on then. Maybe let @BillyMonger take more of a lead…

And Humphrey’s comeback was championship-winning stuff.

Boom.

A Tory Cllr unaware of simple facts. Imagine my surprise.
