Formula 1 2023 - Spanish Grand Prix and Canadian Grand Prix

For the Spanish Grand Prix, a combination of the hairdressers (qualifying) and some friends visiting (via phone because one of the caught COVID) prevented me from watching the latest episode of "A Comedy of Ferrari Errors". 

I was looking forward to the Canadian Grand Prix because, even if Ferrari screw up, the Canadian Grand Prix is my favourite race of the season. 

Qualifying was not promising, because of course you don't want to have softs ready for the driver on the bubble. 

Why would you want to help both your drivers get into Q3? 

Obviously, the path forward is to make them overtake in cars that are still too wide, even in Montreal. 

The grand prix itself was not its usual fun-filled self (although there was some fun, thanks to De Vries and KMag), but it featured the most unlikely thing - A FERRARI STRATEGY CALL GOING RIGHT!!! 

A FERRARI STRATEGY CALL THAT WAS DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE ELSE'S AND IT STILL WENT RIGHT!!!! 

 Ahem! 

I was in favour of giving the strategy a cookie of competence, but L, who is meaner than me, said it could have been a fluke, and even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Therefore, I am granting them a probationary cookie, as long as they promise not to share it with the tyre team. Underlying cookie image from here - Image by wirestock on Freepik 

This year is still a disaster, but maybe the second half can rescue it. (I am an incurable optimist)
