I am home watching the formula 1 Grand Prix from the comfort of my sofa, away from the noise, the atmosphere, the flys, the mosquitoes, the heat and the cold. Why am I doing that?

Well, the main reason is really I’ve got myself a cold, a stupid cold that descended on me from nowhere. Second, the tickets to the grand prix is soooo expensive. I can’t imagine how people can afford those grandstand tickets, the cheapest being $369 on the Piquet Grandstand. Although the ground pass on Friday is at a reasonable price of $55, is really only suited for petrolheads, not for one who just wants to see the F1 cars. At least, on TV, I’ll get to see all the actions, wherever it may be on the track, with the time and speed shown on the monitor.

For those interested, tomorrow’s telecast will be on channel 10 starting at 9 am!
