Monaco sprint should be a thriller

Two qualifying session though.. that's the interesting part at Monaco

And a lot less practice to dial it in may mean more incidents

The race actually starts on 1 October when we start scrambling for tickets for the Albert Park GP. And now if you want a better chance of the grandstand of your choice (going for Oscar this year for pole view) you have the option one day early to buy a membership ($750) AND then your ticket .
It gives you useless add-ons like getting into the track 30 mins early /a drink bottle and steak knives (kidding)

NOR was taken out so Zak pushed a button to lock PIA brakes and take him out...
Papaya Rules you know...

Once again Marshalls inconsistent with the Yellow Flags and Safety car rules.

I am heading to KUL this afternoon. Unfortunately I ended up with seats on the south side of the stand. But hey, I still get to go to a one-off race at a track I really like.

We missed out. I got into the Ticketek waiting room an hour early, was 550 in the queue when it opened, and seven minutes later when I got access, everything was sold. It's not to be. I think it will be cheaper/easier to go to an overseas F1 event - Spa or Monza would be good.

Monza was terrific. Great atmosphere.

At Spa you need good walking shoes.

Very hot in Malaysia..

The usual Malaysia issues with transport. Took me 3hrs to circuit leaving hotel at 8.40 and I got it lucky compared to others.

Hopefully they are better organised for the rest of weekend (more trains and buses using contraflow lanes).

Was long queues at every step getting to circuit.

Heineken was disorganised and not ready to sell beer until halfway through P1 in my section.
