Fuck, my weekend was awesome. I need more small displacement V8’s. I need them to downshift all fucking day.
Today was race day. It rained. Hard. So hard in fact, that they started the race behind a safety car. Then after 20 or so laps, they stopped the race. The track was too flooded and dangerous. After a two hour race, we decided to jet. We got our experience and the awesome photos. PLUS, i witnessed Lewis Hamilton crash, which brought me infinite joy. AND! Before the race started, they had a parade lap, which we saw the drivers up close from the General Admission area. Everyone boo’d Lewis Hamilton which was funny. Sebastian Vettel drove by, and with the loudest voice i can shoot out of my throat, i yelled “JUSTIN BEEEIIIBBBEERRRR” that made the crowd laugh, and caught his attention, which prompted a “MADE ‘JA LOOK!” I feel so fulfilled!
I got photos of some rain action from the grandstand. Holy fucking tire spray! Fun fact: Those F1 rain tires can shoot up to 60 Liters (or close to 16 gallons) of water in the air, PER SECOND. Needless to Say it was amazing.
So the day started with The Ferrari Challenge Race. Which was pretty epic. Almost every single Ferrari was battling another for position. It was intense!
These two white Ferrari’s were insane! The one in the front was in pole for most of the race. The one behind it overtook it a couple of times in the race, but kept losing it to the first guy. On the last lap, in a dramatic twist, the one leading crashes, and gives the win to the second one. It was intense!
Then F1 started. They had a parade lap. Due to rain, They had to start with a Safety car. Went on for 6 laps.
And here’s Schumacher leading the other Mercedes powered cars!
Watching the Rainmeister at in his element was a sight to behold. Something i never thought i would ever see!
“This aint good.”
“Nope. Not good”
“HOLYJESUSFUCK”
I laughed hard enough to make people stare when this happened. I might have slightly exaggerated my laughter. Just slightly though.
On Sunday, I watched 6 hours of F1 coverage and didn’t see the end of the race. My lament: I had to record qualifying on Saturday because I was out. So on Sunday, I watched qualifying before the race. When quali was finished, I started with the race.
Here’s the catch: I never caught up with the live broadcast. So, even though I added 2 hours to the record time and I skipped through the commercials…AFTER WATCHING TWO HOURS OF LIVE RAIN COVERAGE…the DVR runs out of space on lap 67 of 70.
I fucking freaked. Shitty Fox coverage, SCHUMACHER IN SECOND?!?!?, rain, closing laps…ANDIT FUCKING STOPPED PLAYING.
So I have been on medial blackout for the last two days until I could watch the rebroadcast on Speed today. THANK GOD, it recorded.
Would have loved to have seen Schumi on the podium, but a good race nonetheless.
And a friend brought me a hat from the race.
I write a lot.
