Sprint weekend.

KMag is ill so Bearman is driving today. Because he is doing the sprint quali he will be racing in the sprint before KMag takes over for main race quali tomorrow.

Interesting to hear about this attempted robbery on the Williams team. It's happened a few times over the years so glad to hear it was thwarted by security. i guess there are added risks if you are a high profile visitor but honestly Sao Paulo is hands down one of the greatest cities i've been to, so i dont think this it's reflective of the city. Def areas downtown (cracolandia) where you need to watch your belongings, but otherwise i reckon it's more or less usual big city precautions for travellers (take an Uber at night etc). But awesome food, bars, art, sports, live music, architecture and very cool, progressive locals. Nick Cave actually lived here for a few years and he loved it. As Senna's hometown they are F1 mad too, obviously, and still very much revered with his memorial park, murals etc. It should be very cool seeing Hamilton drive his world championship Mclaren tmrw as they love Lewis too.

Obviously want an Oscar win, but failing that i'd be thrilled with a Max DNF, a Norris win and Ferraris coming in 2 and 3 to set up an exciting finish to the year. I miss the days where Adelaide was the last race
