  • Lusail International Circuit

    .. about 30 minutes up the Red metro line... magnificent Qatari efficiency .. and shuttle buses the other end.. meant a very easy transport in ..Sprint race was at 5 pm... was at Turn 16.. night racing is a phenomenon I've only done once before.. in Bahrain.
    A McLaren 1/2..a great result..only 19 laps...then back to my hotel..as a BIG day tomorrow...and need my sleep..

    December 1 in Qatar ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    .. and an 01.50 flight from Hamad International Airport..another A380🙂..straight after the race.. a decision made in order to arrive back in LDN at 6 am..and to get home early afternoon.. Doha was exceptionally well run and organised.. free Metro service all weekend.. the circuit was still 90 minutes from my hotel..crammed a lot into 3 days...and no alcohol . seems I do just fine without😄.. wasn't the result many hoped for.. incl me .but all to play for in Abu Dhabi this weekend.. Come on Lando.. another chance beckons.. let's do this.. finally 🧡Read more
