Well, well, well. It looks like we are racing back to back. So we’re going to keep this short and to the point. This week we attack the block. Block 229, that is.

Previously on Formula Oppo. We finally saw some gotdamn racin’. Yes this is the Formula 1 racing that I’ve been looking forward to this year. Lewis Hamilton made it a point to show that Australia was just a fluke and showed the true pace of the Mercedes. Sebastian made some ballsy passes, but the real hero of the race was Max Verstappen. I’m pretty sure that he is Senna reincarnate with the way he drives and passes in the wet with little to no regard for the longevity of his car. However the complaints he was lobbing about Romain getting in his way were some teenage angst bubbling up.

This week we find ourselves at Tilkedrome #2 where we should be in for a dry race favoring the Mercedes and Ferrari’s. But if the racing’s good, who gives a rat’s ass about some bullshit oil dictatorship flaunting his wealth with a Formula One race. I was planning on going to the US grand prix, but I need a new roof instead. So fuck it, let’s keep the racing good and if you have any details about Vijay Mallya, do contact the rozzers.

As much as I’d like to put Stroll up for my curse, as a Canuck, I want to see him at least finish the damm race. So, no curse for me. Sending good thoughts to all.
