F1 Fans,
Boy, oh boy, oh boy. Leave town for a couple of weeks and look what happens! I made the "Day of Infamy" reference before I left, but now I make another prediction: there will be as much, if not more, yelling and hollering coming from the back room at Mom & Pop's than there was on December 12, 2021.
***NOBODY MISS THIS ONE!!!
F1 Fans,
The final GP race and our final F1 breakfast of 2025. I'm posting this prior to the Las Vegas GP, so the only prediction I can make is December 7th will be the day of infamy for one of three F1 drivers! Hope to see you there!
F1 Fans,
2025 GP season is winding down and turning out to be a corker. Join us for brunch at Mom & Pop's to watch the action!
F1 Fans,
Well, welly, welly well. Four races to go, one point between the McLaren drivers, and of course, Max is in their mirrors. Sprint weekend as well, so tasty and exciting all at the same time. Let's do an F1 Lunch!
F1 Fans -
This Sunday is the Singapore GP night race - which is fortunately breakfast time for us! Max seems to be staging some type of comeback lately, however he has yet to manage a win in Singapore. The Mclaren drivers will be as tense as a tick on a matchstick. (I just made that one up, so feel free to groan).
Won't be able to make this one - so will catch up with you for Brazil. 8 a.m. race, so don't be late!
F1 Fans,
This Sunday we're back on the streets of Baku for the always exciting Azerbaijan GP. This will be an EARLY race for us - 7 a.m. start! So early that we had to make arrangements with Mom & Pop's for them to let us in at 6:45. Hope to see all you early birds there!
F1 Fans,
Sunday we have the Italian GP at Monza. Ah Italia, home of the spicy meataballza and other tasty dishes. Speaking of which, the Mclaren drivers' championship is getting to be about as spicy and tasty as you could hope for. Not to mention Max is not so far off that he couldn't "Maximize" his chances if the Mclarens get too spicy with each other!
Hope to see you there - 9 a.m. race.
F1 Fans,
We're back from summer break, and Cadillac has announced their drivers for next season: Bottas & Perez! It will be good to see Vallteri and Checo back on the grid.
Netherlands GP is on for this Sunday - hope to see you all there. 9:00 am race time.
F1 Fans,
Last race before the summer break. I should be back by then!
F1 Fans,
Coming off the soggy but exciting British GP, we will have the (usually) soggy Belgian GP. Since I will be out of pocket with variable connectivity for a while, I am doing advance postings for both the upcoming Belgian and Hungary GPs. See you all around the next turn!
F1 Fans -
It is the British Brunch this Sunday for the always exciting GP at Silverstone. I don't think the Mom & Pop's special will be the coma inducing Full English Breakfast, but I'm sure they will have one of their good ol' American gut-bombs available. As things are hotting up in the Driver's Championship, I think we all can expect McLaren and Lando to put on a good show for the home crowd.
See you there - don't forget, 10:00 a.m. start time for this one!
F1 Fans,
Things got a little spicy in Canada with both McLarens attempting to simultaneously occupy the same spot on track, and then Gorgeous George attempting to brake-check Max into a race ban. Overall, a great weekend for Mercedes - can they keep it up? Can Max keep his cool at Red Bull's home track? Will Oscar and Lando play nice with each other? Could be tasty, if not outright spicy!
Speaking of F1 drama - don't forget we are going to the F1 Movie this Saturday. I will send out a reminder after I post this. If you haven't done so already, please let me know by Tuesday if you want to go to lunch before the movie so I can make a reservation for us at Las Palmas. See you all this weekend!
F1 Fans,
I previously mentioned us getting together to watch the Brad Pitt F1 Movie. Planning to do a Saturday matinee at 12:30 p.m. on June 28th at the AMC Lynnhaven 18 theater. We can all meet at Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant across the street at 11:00 a.m. for a lunch special prior to the movie.
Click on the following link to get your tickets: F1 The Movie
Once in the website, select Virginia Beach for location, IMAX 2D for preferred format and SAT JUN 28 for date. AMC Lynnhaven 18 theater should pop-up, so select the 12:30pm showing to pick your seat(s). I picked F12-13, but feel free to select something to your liking, since I really don't know what good seats are for an IMAX theater. You can also get seats the day of the movie if you are not picky.
Please let me know if you plan to go to lunch so I can get a group reservation in at Las Palmas. Okay - sounds like fun to me, hope you all can make it!
F1 Fans,
Spanish GP this Sunday - rumor has it there is likely to be some passing this time despite no mandatory two stop! I also heard some rumors about FIA clamping down on Mclaren's flexi-wing, but that may be just YouTube click-bait.
Anyway, we have a F1 Breakfast race. Also, stay tuned for my next post outlining a group get-together for us to watch "F1 - The Movie" with Brad Pitt (woo!).
F1 Fans,
Memorial Day weekend is upon us and you know what that means: the iconic, glamorous, and scary Monaco GP! Besides just being a tight race road-wise, the Driver's Championship is also becoming quite tight as well. As we know, Monaco can be very unforgiving and so some on-track drama is more than likely. This is the GP not to miss! See you there!
F1 Fans,
F1 is off to Italy this Sunday for the Imola GP. Things have gotten a little crazy on track lately, and that trend should continue. Oscar is on a three-peat and now leads the driver's championship. Lewis' honeymoon with Ferrari seems to be over judging from the spat over the radio in Miami. BTW, Williams had a car that beat both Ferraris in that race!
This will be our first 9 a.m. F1 Breakfast this season. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this one, but will see you next time!
F1 Fans -
We had a great turn-out for the Bahrain Brunch and it was great seeing/meeting everybody. We asked Mom & Pops if they would be ok hosting us for the Saudi GP (since they close at 2 p.m.). They said it would be fine for us to stay until the end of the race. There was a small group at the Brunch that said they would like to come even though this Sunday is Easter, so F1 Lunch it is.
I won't be able to make this one, but y'all have fun!
NO F1 LUNCH FOR SAUDI GP!
Mom & Pop's just realized it is Easter, even though we spoke with them about it beforehand. Sorry for (their) confusion! 😄
Hampton Roads F1 Fans -
Seems like we are well into the 2025 season already with the Aussie, Chinese, and Snoozuka races under our belts. We finally get a chance to straighten out our sleep cycle with the Bahrain Brunch!
It will be great to see and catch up with everybody! See you there!
F1 Fans,
We had 23 races in 2023, and now we will finally have the 24th race in 2024. Wow, what a year! Could a Christmas miracle be in store for Ferrari or Leclerc? Bah humbug!
Early race start at 8 a.m. - see you there!
F1 Fans,
As we all know the driver's championship is now done and dusted, however, the constructor's is still up for grabs. McLaren is up on Ferrari by 24 points, and Qatar is not a track well suited for the prancing horse cars, but who knows in this crazy season? So, after you have recovered from your Thanksgiving food coma, come on out to Mom & Pop's for some more food... and end of season F1 action of course!
