Spanish Embassy (San Francisco-California) May 22, 2011

I’m right there with the crowd cheering for Barcelona😍

Honestly, I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Just so I don't feel completely out of the loop here—fingers crossed for Alonso's podium finish😁

man, lonzo is just cruising through this one at half throttle🙏

lol, classic😂

I guess I'm expecting the new Mercedes-Benz aero package to work some magic and put the old man on the podium 😁 dream on 😍

Come on, tell me—when you're watching a replay, do you already know the result or are you actually trying to stay in the dark?

everyone else was just irrelevant 🙏

🤣🤣🤣

Mark takes this without even blinking ☕

Man, I am seriously counting down the minutes for this ☕

Nando is grabbing this 🙏

Felipe Massa finishes fifth 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

I thought you weren't really into dedin 🤔

I can't help but wonder how Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault are going to embarrass themselves again while trailing behind those incredibly aerodynamically efficient cars owned by the big beverage corporations.

I'm just sitting here waiting for 🤷

Of course I don't know the result beforehand. 🙂
I didn't even know what happened in the last race (aside from knowing Sebastian Vettel was in the top three because I turned on the monitor while the press conference was still going on) until late that evening when I finally sat down to watch the footage. 🙂

Everyone was making such a racket back in Valencia in 2008, wasn't it? Then suddenly, everything went dead quiet once Nakajima took out his rear wing during that first lap. At least then we could actually enjoy the race in some peace. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm just sitting here waiting for Dedin to finally rise from the grave like some kind of racing legend.
Well, they say if you wait long enough, good things eventually come your way.☕

On another note, is there actually a specific zone where drivers are allowed to use DRS?🤷 🤣 🤣

Hopefully, history repeats itself this year.

Heh... I’m just not buying it. As much as I’d love to believe it, I'm not.
After that last game, something pretty interesting happened. At least, it did for me.
I asked the old man how things were going. Is he actually happy with the car? The team? Is he still even enjoying any of this? Blah, blah, blah.

And they said it wouldn't work. 🙂

darkmarlin16, I think it’s just a sign that he’s said everything he had to say about this whole situation.

Even Coulthard weighed in on the statement, sharing his own take based on experience. He said he remembers the exact moment he realized it just wasn't the same anymore—that he doesn't get that same rush or bite like he used to.
And then he just pulls out?

The world’s gonna end before Grandpa finally wakes up—honestly, his only shot at winning right now would be pulling an Indianapolis 2005 move, and even then, he's got Nico Rosberg breathing down his neck.

I’m really hoping I can make it out to Barcelona-Catalonia during race weekend this time. I don't want to end up staring at an empty track again, just daydreaming about the cars. 😉

As for the race itself, I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll get to see a red podium finish! 😍

Maybe that Mercedes-Benz is just a glorified paperweight!

Word on the street is that Mercedes-Benz is rolling out a brand new exhaust setup this weekend, inspired by what Renault has been doing, along with those famous flexible wings.🙂
It’ll be interesting to see how much that actually gives the German team an edge, especially since everyone else is showing up to the table with their own fresh updates too.🤷

I honestly feel like Michael Schumacher hasn't quite said his final word just yet.🙂
He didn't just come back to scrap for a single point here and there; he's clearly looking to kickstart his momentum and get those results rolling again.
It feels like a total pipe dream right now, but hey, you can never say never.
