F1 2015: Melbourne Grand Prix

Good race, except for all the Hybrids dying on the side of the road without any apparently visible cause. They just... stopped. 13 cars finished the race, one of which was last but considered a victory because it FINISHED. Melbourne looks like San Diego, like Mexico COULD be if it was clean and law abiding. They provided a great location for the race so kudos to Australia for hosting this race. The world often forgets Australia, but we get reminded you exist from time to time. I encourage my readers to watch Formula 1 racing. It is interesting because its a mix of technology, skill, and strategy, and I think car racing will continue after the oil age, even if they have to synthesize the fuel in factories, and fans show up to the race on bicycles or electric trams or even horsedrawn carriages and buggies. People used to show up to air races that way, did you know? Can you imagine cycling 50 miles and camping in a tent or hostel to attend a race with thousands of other people who went to similar effort just to be there? To hear a car engine and see the state of the art roaring by at speeds only the very rich can experience. That's the future.

Good times. I am excited about watching these races.
