Bahrain Grand Prix

I'm still reflecting on the Bahrain Grand Prix and having trouble figuring out if I actually saw the race or if it was an extended parade lap with some sort of celebration at the end. I never had this problem before and I've been going to Formula 1 races since before I was born so it may just be owing to the fact that I'd been up for several days without rest--yes Désespérée returned if only for those few days--and perception has not been my strong suit as a result, if you get my drift and I think you do.

Nevertheless, I've come to expect more gusto and brio with regard to sporting events in which I, myself, am not directly participating and it seems to me that something needs to be done. I'm writing to Bernie suggesting we get all the usual pop and rock stars together again and sing a song for F1 that can be simulcast around the world. There are many ways to make the world a better place, but this seems to be the method preferred by insufferable media creatures and their accountants five-to-one. It may just salvage what remains of the Formula 1 season, if it's not already too late.
