I forgot to post my (not so) quiet track picture after the Australian Grand Prix, so here it is; cc: @jeff-gluck.bsky.social

Btw, the kerbs were actually just jagged concrete, idk why but I expected them to be some form of special composite material?

Ahh that sucks! But it's definitely one of the burgers I've ever had

I actually had the Oscar Piastri burger the other week. I mean, it's just a burger - it was nice but it didn't wow me, but I don't particularly like Grill'd either so that maybe had something to do with it haha

A crowd full of people underneath a sign that says "Australia, Melbourne, Australia"

A crowd full of people underneath a sign that says "Australia, Melbourne, Australia"

I can attest to this - with ten laps to go, the queue to get onto the track was about 100 people deep on the outside of turn two. 45 minutes after the race was over, the front straight was still blocked and it felt like cattle being led on the death march

The Alpine looks like pink vomit ๐Ÿคฎ; the Aston Martin and Williams look much better in real life than they do in photos. The Ferrari red and white combo is so beautiful in person

The Audi is the most beautiful car on track, don't @ me haha. It looks so good in real life ๐Ÿ˜

The trackside PA commentary keeps referring to him as Sir Lewis Hamilton, and I am absolutely all for it

The crowd at turn 10 went absolutely crazy when Leclerc took the lead off the start ... then subsequently groaned when Russell retook the lead lol

The whole park feels like a balloon has been popped, the energy feels so deflated around the track. The Australian home race curse continues (I'm still bitter about Ricciardo's DQ in 2014 ๐Ÿ˜ค)

The McLaren LMDh hypercar looks incredible, particularly when painted in a faux Marlboro red and white livery ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Unfortunately you need to be in a much higher tax bracket to get any closer to it than this lol
