F1

 

The first Formula One race of the season is next Sunday in Bahrain!  Practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, and race day Sunday.  Almost all the F1 races are on the other side of the planet, so they go on our DVR in the middle of the night, and they’re there when we wake up the next morning.  A far cry from the old days when we had to set the alarm before dawn for “Breakfast at Wimbledon”.  Meanwhile, we’re binging all the episodes of Race to Survive on Netflix to get us there.

 

The races do come our way later in the year.  Two races in the U.S. this time.  A new track around the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami in May, and The Circuit of the Americas in Austin in October before they go to Mexico then Brazil.  The Austin track has some nice terrain built into it.  The track in Miami will be as flat as the rest of South Florida.
