  1. ^ Black cat looks like a badass We spend last weekend at the Southern Coast of Finland. Here's some places we visited. First the idyllic old town of Tammisaari or Ekenäs in Swedish. About 80 % of people there speak Swedish as their native language.
  2. Bit boring last half of the race in Hockenheim. Hamilton stretches his lead in the points. Red Bull was really strong and they have taken Ferrari's place as the second fastest team. Next GP won't be until a month from now but luckily the Olympics will start next week
  3. Yesterdays race was ok, for Hungarian GP. It's so difficult to overtake in that track. The highlight was Kimi vs. Max. Hamilton now leads in the overall standings.
  4. Today I visited The Sculpture Park in Parikkala, Finland, which is the lifework of Veijo Rönkkönen. There are about 550 statues in the park. They are funny and creepy at the same time. More information here: http://www.patsaspuisto.net/parikkala-sculpture-park/
  5. Today I was searching for mushrooms in the forest and took these photos. Small stream: There were lots of anthills in the forest:
  6. Really dirty move from Rosberg at the end the race. He didn't even try to turn in that corner! Good for Kimi, though. Pascal Wehrlein took a point with Manor. Nicely done!
  7. Red Bull's Lederhosen overalls in Austria:
  8. More information can be found here: http://hiekkalinna.lappeenranta.fi/en/
  9. Thanks. They have made these sculptures every year since 2004 with different themes. Last years theme was heroes, year before that music and so on.
  10. Sand sculptures from the harbour. This year they have a medieval theme.
  11. In last Sundays race Valtteri Bottas was my pick for the driver of the day. Excellent drive by him! Ferrari, once again, gave the victory away. In todays qualifying Hamilton was a complete mess. Perez, on the other hand, has proven this season that he deserves another shot at a top team. Too bad he has that 5 grid penalty. Still, interesting starting grid for tomorrows race.
  12. Yeah, Montreal is great. Races are usually entertaining there. If Red Bull can keep up their form and Ferrari's engine upgrade will work, it could be the best GP of the season yet!
  13. I think that every single F1 driver would have done the same. Of course I'm biased as fuck since I'm looking this all through blue and white coloured glasses
  14. I see the situation with Räikkönen and Grosjean partly as a racing incident. Obviously Grosjean didn't know that Kimi's car had, shall we say, limited steerability. Mostly Kimi's fault though. In the end he was able to park his car to a safe place. Now I must go to work
  15. Hamilton wins in Monaco! Red Bull completely screwed up Ricciardo's pit stop. I think this is the first time since Suzuka 2014 when he isn't smiling. From Finnish point of view the best thing about this Grand Prix is that it's over.
  16. First pole position for Ricciardo in his F1 career and first for Red Bull since 2013. They seem to be back on the top, but they may run into trouble in the faster tracks. Räikkönen has a five place grid penalty for gearbox chage. Worst possible race for that! Rain and thunder is expected in Monaco today. That could make the race chaotic.
  17. Thanks! Thank you! I think this bird is called naakka, which in English is western jackdaw.
  18. Yeah, Nico should be more like his father. That guy is a legend!
  19. Second place for Kimi, 0.6 seconds from first place. So close! But what an amazing driver 18 years old Max Verstappen is! First race for Red Bull and first victory. The youngest driver ever to win an F1 race. Incredible! Rosberg still leads in the overall standings but Kimi is now second, 39 points behind.
  20. Mercedes drivers took each other out at the start! This race just got very interesting!
