It's my hope to do the Spa-Monza back to back weekend, as well. Best back to back in my opinion unless Silverstone is paired with a race!!
Your desire to back-to-back Spa and Monza is the ULTIMATE experience! That is my bucket list dream - well done!

He was passing BUT like a freight train before he was shunted off. Ah well.

In truth, this and many other similar incidents, are why I am enjoying this period of HAMs performance. I could name 20 races where I nearly had strokes watching hapless pit stops, cars on fire, transmission failures, engine failures, bad pit wall calls, a couple of mental fades and Ferrari International Assistance which ruined races and championships.

I am enjoying this as are many other long-suffering Hamilton fans.

As an aside, McLaren coming back to Mercedes is also sweet music to my ears. Darth Dennis should have NEVER gone to Honda. He threw away a 20 or so year relationship because of a temper tantrum about MGP.

McLaren-Mercedes. The order of the universe has been restored.

Cheers-mk
Incidents stroke inducing? how about Hamilton Rosberg, I think it was Spain where ROS was in harvest mode and HAM went up the right side?

5 years ago, I was in Nice on vacation with my now wife. We took a day trip to Monaco, and when I say that I walked majority of the track, and got the biggest goose bumps as I came down along the marina...Whew. Monaco is one race at the top of my bucket list, 100%.

We have single family dwellings and duplexes as investment properties in my family. I once made the mistake of becoming a partner in a 380 unit apartment complex. It was post Hurricane Katrina. I knew it wouldn't go well, in retrospect, when for the first inspection my partner asked me to bring my M4 and sidearm.

Worst. Thing. Ever.

Your M4 car I presume. You can make a good choice and sometimes a bad one, thing is not to put all your eggs in one basket. We make a living out of selected tenants from an agency which is a must as they can spring into action no cost to us legal proceedings if someone stops paying rent. We never take anyone on outside agency, it's way too risky.

LOL!! No...the 380 unit. It was a nightmare.

Outside agency is the best. I had an attorney in a personal property long ago, which was the second ring of hell...agencies only after that! My parents are aging and we are slowly selling off properties.

Lewis VS Max.

Lewis. I watched him in his rookie year, beating Alonso, who happened to be my favorite driver still today, in his rookie year. Even LH rookie vs VER rookie, LH still has the edge. Like him or not, dude can push the car without upsetting the car. His steering and throttle input are just superb. Watching him drive is boring to be honest.

VER reminds me of young Vettel in term of race craft and Alonso in term of passion and no backing down mentality.
