Starting with a touch of bad news but ending with good news.

I missed a step at the railway station on the stairs and fell to the ground. Broke my right hand wrist bone. Surgery done successfully, am back home after 5 days in the hospital and doing well. They had to put in a titanium plate with 10 screws in my right hand. Going to give metal detectors all over the world heebie jeebies from now on.

I have been watching F1 for 25 years as a Tifosi and have not missed a single race yet. For a day or two I was a touch sad that the streak might come to an end this weekend. But am very happy to tell you guys that it will continue to go on. The Scarlet Fever rages on.

It was a pretty fun Quali today and I hope the race tomorrow is even more interesting. The community makes the event a brilliant spectacle. See you guys for the race! Forza Ferrari!

Take care. Wrist injuries are a bitch and we don't have the kind of money stroll has to make them heal faster

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Lol. If I had that kind of money I would hire better strategists for Ferrari. Injuries are temporary, stupidity is permanent.

Take care, and concentrate on exercise and physio when advised. It will help you get back quickly.

Yup. Will do. Thanks mate!

Thanks mate! Can’t risk doing a rain dance physically but I will be doing one in my heart.

Supposed to be hot day there tomorrow, but you never know 🤷🏻‍♂️... There's a few out of position anyway, & close at the front,. So should be a good one..🤞🏻

Take care! Really hoping Ferrari can get their shit together soon. Excited for tomorrow's race though cause of the mixed grid. Forza Ferrari!

Yup. Can’t wait for the red car to kick ass again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They did kick ass, their own ass sadly
