Damn right I was! You have no idea... And am forever grateful to my hosts!Lucky.
I've been to Montreal, Monza and Zandvoort once. I was high as a kite for the Dutch Grand Prix, I believe Nelson Piquet won the race.
I was wrong the SF24 was used in the Arabian Grand Prixs. Is Toto Wolff making the same mistake twice? He's signed prodigy Kimi Antonelli to possibly replace Lewis Hamilton. His team-mate at Racing Prema in F2 is Olivier Bearman. As an Italian the lure of Ferrari will be too much for him, he'll eventually sign with the Testarossa.
I have my fingers crossed that 2024 will be more competitive than 2023.
Sainz must not leave, Hamilton fangula!

Informal poll: did Alonso brake check George? After watching the footage over and over, I say no... but interested in everyone else's thoughts on it. Seemed like a harsh penalty.
PS... jealous of all you assholes who've been to races. Dying to go but can't find the cash... so expensive!

Read this article. It explains the decision.
Why did Alonso cop a 20-second penalty in Australia?
Fernando Alonso has been hit with a post-race drive through penalty – converted to 20 seconds being adding to his race time – for what the stewards have deemed “potentially dangerous” driving prior to George Russell’s crash out of the Australian Grand Prix on the final lap. There was no contact...

It doesn't look like Alonso did anything wrong, it was a judgement error on Russell part. He had too much speed going into the turn, Nando has always been notoriously difficult to lap.

I dunno man... based on that article and the videos I watched, it seems like George was "anticipating" Alonso's moves and the old guy threw a wrench into his plans by doing something different and caught George off guard. You know... veteran racer vs newer driver.
I bought my ticket today for the F1 exhibit coming to Toronto in May.

I loathe the fact that Carlos Sainz is leaving, but Hamilton won't be there long. Ferrari are grooming Ollie Bearman to take a seat in the near future. So much for British racers not welcome at the Testarossa, Mike Hawthorne and Phil Hill both won the Driver's Championship with Ferrari. Bearman is from Chelmsford...sorry I don't know where that is.
Fuck FIA, corrupt bastages!

Alonso on his new ‘lifetime’ Aston Martin deal
Fernando Alonso has placed the latest piece in the F1 driver market puzzle on the table with the announcement that he will be remaining in the sport with Aston Martin via a fresh long-term deal – and the Spaniard faced the world’s media shortly after the news was communicated on Thursday to...

We went to the Montreal race pre covid, a great time. Now the weekend would be waaay too expensive:
2 return tickets VIA 1, beats driving and relaxing.
4 nights hotel, good luck getting a room or AirBnb for <$500 per night
2 tickets on the hairpin, secondary market >$2000?
food, drink, snacks and a souvenir, lots of good restos in Montreal
Total: $5000++
RPM is priceless and is spot on re the inbred Lance. Stroll's antics today wrecked Riccardo's race.A must watch
