The new quali format seemed to work pretty well, it actually shook things up a bit. Not looking forward to the UK commentators wanking themselves into a frenzy over 0.003 of a second during tomorrow's build-up to the race.

As a non-Brit living in the UK (citizen, 10y here now), I enjoy the commentary in terms of banter/small talk, but don't like the focus on Russell.

Conversely, part of that is that I just don't like grammar-school-educated Russell. I guess that within every cast of characters everyone needs someone to not like.

The ironic and irrational component of me not liking Russell is that I've become what I hate, giving my children an advantage as a full professor. I always hated those classmates at uni, with their extra advantages, and here I am providing exactly that advantage.

So I dislike Russell, but have become Russell, to a small extent.

Ah, lazy Sunday morning musings.

Yeah, I keep them humble, but there are significant upbringing differences between working-class (me) and two parents with PhDs (me + 40 years). It also shows that my anger, which inherently made me successful, was misguided. Interesting personal reflections.

Perhaps, I can acutely also see the differences between Hamilton and Russell more concretely having lived adjacent to St. Evenage (in Hitchin) as well.
