Well, unlike the sprint race, the main event got away cleanly apart from a little contact near the back resulting in a spin for Alex Albon. Max Verstappen held his first place off the start, but Charles Leclerc got past Lando Norris. That cost Lando dearly as Charles had the softer, faster tires and that kept him ahead for a large chunk of the race, and allowed Max to build an unassailable lead. Lando did eventually pass Charles, but the positions swapped back at the pit stops. Lando eventually reclaimed the second place he started from. Carlos Sainz's good weekend finished early when he hit Kimi Antonelli and had to retire. Oliver Bearman had a spin trying to pass Yuki Tsunoda, but both finished in the top 10. As I reported last night, Max won the race ahead of Lando and Charles. Singer Shaboozey waved the checkered flag. Lewis Hamilton was having a good race until he had a brake issue with a few laps to go. He just managed to hold onto fourth place ahead of a lacklustre drive by championship leader Oscar Piastri. Oscar is now only 14 points ahead of Lando, but more amazingly he's only 40 points ahead of Max after his two victories this weekend. You can see the race highlights here. Next week it's the Mexican Grand Prix. -
I don't do many long journeys, but luckily I don't recall seeing anyone doing that on my recent trip to Galway, although I'm sure it happens regularly over here. Maybe I'm imagining it, but people here seem to drive much more hesitantly lately. I thought it could be the reduced driving during the Covid lockdowns, but that was a while ago now. Sometimes I approach a junction thinking I'll easily get out because there's a huge gap, but the car in front stops dead and waits for nothing. Then there are the drivers who drive at well under the speed limit completely oblivious to the long queue behind them. That's my two cents.

What I'm doing right now, is thinking about how comforting it is to be in Hazzard, or to watch the show. When you run in to a stressful situation, you just, " Head to Hazzard" . You can literally, both while the shows are playing or sitting practically anywhere, get lost in Hazzard, in a much simpler, more relaxing world, where you know everybody and everybody knows you and they all share your opinion on stuff and your view on life! It even helps you sleep. I just close my eyes and think about an episode or make up an episode in my head! Then it's off to La La land until next morning. Hey, We've even discussed other plot episodes etc. on here before! Or what would this character do in this situation, etc. When you can lose yourself in this world and all its infinite possibilities, it makes life easier and more comfortable, enjoyable etc. -

All this is true but what it is, is an under development of the Psyche. You know, when you're a kid and you do crazy stuff and then get older and learn to drive and you drive crazy....nothing's going to happen! That happens to other people! ( You ARE other people!) Hey! It's never happened before! I know what I'm doing! It's an adolescent sense of invulnerability Then most people ( SOME people??) as they mature and their brain develops, learn that yes, they to can die and no it's not just other people! 5/15/82! I was a junior in high school, passenger in my friend's car and he was flying and we hit a phone pole. I was in a coma for a week and in the hospital for a month. Some people never fully develop mentally.
