No moreso than a tobacco brand like Philip Morris sponsoring a car using a weird slogan like Mission Winnow - two words that mean absolutely nothing (to me) but are obviously being used to somehow influence people in ways that I can only guess the how and why.

There was a t-shirt last year from Blipshift, styled to look like the Mission Winnow logo/script. Except it read Missing Winning.

In FP1 this morning Albon smacked the wall and tore up the left side of the chassis . Big cars on tiny track doesn't leave much room for error.

I wish I had a some mega millionaire friends to invite me to hang out on the yacht in the marina and watch the race. Alas, I have no such friends. If I won the Powerball lottery, I will rent a yacht like that and invite the Pelican gang to hang with me, all expenses paid. My odds might go up a little tiny bit if I ever bought a lottery ticket.

I'll bet this is the most heavily examined photo in the F1 team offices today. Toto is probably tearing his hair out over this.

I seem to recall a million years ago, possibly on ABC Wide World of Sports broadcast of Monaco GP, they were scanning the yachts and there sat a topless woman. Now we can't even have grid girls.

I hope the race lives up to the quali . The cars are very fast and just like Indy (fast also) there seems to be lots of wall bangin'. Almost too fast.
