Another Formula 1 race...

I haven't watched a Formula One race since one Sunday afternoon when I was stuck inside my Zurich hotel room, more than 20 years ago. I happened to repeat that performance today, as we saw the Mexico Grand Prix, live, in the comfort of our home.

Wow, things have changed! The car designs, of course, and the steering wheel that got all squared away and filled up with more gizmos that a fast driver would ever have the time to use. Today, only the shifting paddles have made it into our cars, which comes in handy, but the rest seems a bit over-the-top...

Besides, you need to take that odd-shaped wheel off in order to get in and out of the car. Looks pretty cool but too complicated for me, but again, what will I ever know?
