As I watch the start of the of the Turkish Formula One race I reflect on what I enjoy about Mother’s Day and this is as good as it gets! Sitting down with my husband and small children, enjoying the race. It is simple yet so enjoyable. It is Lap four and Massa is in first place which is not too surpising. Louis Hamilton is second with Mercedes. I am cheering on Louis, he has really accomplished alot in the time he has been in Formula One and I think it is a good thing for some of the veteran drivers to get out of their comfort zone because this guy could be leaving them in the dust this season!!!
I do have a confession to make and I will probably get several comments about this one but part of me would like to see Jacques Vellenuve back!! There I said it…Ok I know he was in a major slump but there was just something about cheering on the underdog that was appealing. I really wanted Jacques to prove my husband wrong. We all know he was capable…he did before. The other part of it is the fact that the guy is a fellow Canadian. Logically I know he did the right thing by leaving F1 but sometimes I like to think …what if…..?
Kimi is fourth right now and another one of my favorites. He has the power of Ferrari behind him and excellent skill as a driver. Does anyone ever see this guy get excited when he wins?? During the after race press conference I always get a kick out of Kimi’s lack of excitement in his voice, he is very monotone and very “matter of fact” in the way he speaks. When he wins I know he is really jumping for joy inside even though it may not show outwardly. Who wouldn’t be excited??
Anyway, I won’t spoil the finish for you…I am going back to the sofa to snuggle up with my husband and little ones to enjoy the rest of the race and enjoy family time on Mother’s Day!! Now that’s a cool Mother’s Day!!
Have a great Day!!
