Here w/ Sand Goggles and Dust Mask. I’ll rent the Camel & Goats.
I miss the scream of the earlier F1 cars... Now they sound like leaf blowers. Still the most exciting form of racing on earth (after Aussie V8 Supercars, IMO).
Bahrain? Close to ‘Head Choppin’ Central’. I’d hate to see Bernie get kidnapped and his mellon sawed off by some whack job muzzie...............but stranger things have happened.
interesting 1st practice for MB, looks like they want to figure out their hot weather issued.
Bernie would drive them insane bitching and babbling on and on and on...
They would end up paying Us to take him back.

Will see raw speed tomorrow, but I think in the heat Ferrari may have equal race pace. Also think Fred may score points. Lastly all the Renault engines may not make the finish. So going to be interesting.
