Great moments in bad timing, #435:
Formula 1 is going to have to cancel the two Grand Prix races in April, because the venues (Bahrain and Saudi Arabia) have become an unwitting victim of Operation Kick Shi’a Iranian Ass.
This sucks big time….
…although strictly speaking it serves F1 right because they should never have given the Arabs so many Grands Prix in the first place.
The races can’t be rescheduled because the calendar is full and there’s no room at the inn.
But in the grand scheme of things, it’s irrelevant because the new “formula” in Formula 1 has turned the races into even more boring spectacles than they were before, which is saying something.
I have a simple fix for their “boring” problem, by the way (although they won’t want to hear it):
Ditch those pathetic half-Duracell / half-tiny-turbo engines (1500cc? WTF?) and replace them with gasoline-powered 2.5-litre V16s, screaming their lungs out and deafening spectators at 18,000rpm. And let the drivers drive, instead of forcing them to be battery-power managers.
And then I’ll show you all around my unicorn garden.
