As a long suffering Kimi fan I am chuffed with qualifying. Poor Dan was not best pleased (did anyone not see Natalie ending up in the pool? :twisted: ).

Sadly, the Indy 500 is on at really stupid o'clock here, so I won't see that live (if at all) :(

Just watching the Monaco pit walk now, with a bunch of talented drivers including Hamilton out of place mixed with some real rookies I am super excited and nervous and just cannot wait for that first few corners :shock: :shock:

cheers,
Lewis

And I must remain a long suffering Kimi fan for a bit longer yet... :x I'm suspicious.

Monaco really highlighted how much bigger these cars are, just with them sitting on the track.

I'm 3/4 of the way through Indy. Can't sit and watch 500 miles in one hit. I'm not allowed. Honda's go bang there too.

There are a lot of youngsters that could come to grief this year.

Absolutely! I can only imagine how this must have felt for Hamilton... Also shows great support from Senna's family to the actual F1 sport.

Hamilton is heavily invested lived with Senna's charity too. I didn't realise his ties with the family.
