Qualifying for the F1 race from Abu Dhabi, UAE is on live TV on Speed Channel this morning. The race itself will be aired tomorrow morning our time, late afternoon their time and into their night due to the high temperatures. It is hot there! Should be 90 degrees tomorrow, which is as tough on the drivers as it is to the race cars. Qualifying is so important for starting positions as the track is beautiful but very difficult for passing. This is the time of year when all the drivers are negotiating their rides for next year. Lots of gossip and rumors. Who is driving for which team next year? Who is retiring?
But the real excitement for those of us in the US will happen for the first time on Sunday, November 18: 2012 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. It will be on a brand new circuit just outside of Austin, Texas. It will bring F1 back on American soil. Hopefully, it will also bring Americans into the F1 family. As there are no American born drivers in F1, there is hope that this new track will inspire interest in the sport.
It was a surprisingly busy week last week so I am taking it easy this weekend. The weather will be in the 70s so I am looking forward to gardening then reading out on the back swing this afternoon. We turned the heater on for the first time this morning as Fall is definitely here - the nights are suddenly cold.
My breathing? My saturation levels held steady during rehab yesterday. I can see the muscle definition coming back to my legs and arms. I am sweating less. All the work is in anticipation of seeing Dr. K. in four weeks with an improvement in my PFTs.
