Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Because of this stupid Covid-19 virus (and mismanagement), my company is on the verge of going under. But what am I most troubled by?

Companies/employers come and go. I've been with a few. But the Monaco Grand Prix only happens so many times during a lifetime. This feels like a year has been subtracted from my life. Yeah... really!

Newsflash: Helmut Marko is a retard. That is all.
Red Bull motorsport adviser Helmut Marko has proposed holding a training camp where Formula One drivers could get infected by the new coronavirus — an idea rejected by the team.
Marko told Austrian public broadcaster ORF on Sunday he wanted to gather drivers while the F1 season was suspended.
“We have four Formula One drivers, we have eight or 10 juniors and the idea was to hold a camp where we could bridge this rather dead time mentally and physically,” Marko said.
“And then it would be ideal, because these are all young, strong men in really good health, if the infection comes then. Then they would be equipped, if it starts up again, for a really hard world championship.”

A bit of shock in this statement.

Max Verstappen’s trademark aggressive driving style would not have been possible prior to F1’s modern safety revolution, says former McLaren driver Bruno Giacomelli.
Giacomelli, who raced in the sport from 1977-1983 and again in 1990, was discussing the difference between eras with Premium Link Upgrade when he brought Verstappen up.
“Looking at the results, Schumacher has won seven world championships. Fangio won five, but Fangio won them with different cars and at a time when people were dying, you know what I mean?”
“Do you know what it means to die? It means that Verstappen, if he had driven the 80s cars that I drove, would have died at least three or four times.
“Nowadays drivers are no longer afraid in a Formula 1 car, because they are very safe.”

Yes!!! This, as much as the perspective of the soon to be started - if somewhat late - 2020/2021 season, is making me glad. Vettel was a wreck on so many occasions in the past season, this could not go on. Good thing both move on seperate.
But Lecvlerq is now #1... which means: Riccardo, Alonso, of course NOT Hamilton will play second fiddle. But there will be a new pilot for Ferrari, and it will be great racing

Well, darn. Carlos Sainz got the Ferrari seat and Daniel is headed over to McLaren. Eh, that's OK. With the Merc p/u, the McLaren is still a step up from Renault.
I still haven't heard anything about Vettel though. I'm going to guess retirement could be in the cards for him.
