Formula 1 - Monaco

In my excitement, I wrote up a long post about the Monaco Gran Prix, which was held on Sunday. But I decided to spare you all the fanaticism this time. If you want an idea of just how much of a fan of F1 I am, you can check out this old post.

Monaco is the holy grail of motor sport, and is always the race that any driver would trade it all in for a chance to stand at the top of the podium. It's a street circuit, which is s test for any driver because it is bumpy, narrow, and bounded by steel barriers on both sides. At 200 mph, with 2G forces on your internal organs, and in a carbon fibre body race-car, this all adds up to zero margin for error, during a 90 minute race. I'll just say that:

1. Formula 1 is back!

2. The last 15 laps of Monaco were classic.

3. I wish I had Tivo.

My namesake. Apart from our soubriquets and lust for fast cars, we have no resemblance to one another. Too bad, because I wish my bank balance looked the same as his :)
