Oh, I almost forgot that the Formula 1 circus is heading to Italy as Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain) is attempting to take over the lead of the Formula 1 World Championship if championship leader Sebastian Vettel (Germany) gets a DNF (Did not finish) because he is trailing by 7 but Hamilton in the Mercedes is closing in on the all time Formula 1 record for most pole positions (He is tied with Michael Schumacher at 68).
And here's the circuit guide which will host the Italian Grand Prix (It's round 13 of the Formula 1 World Championship before the Grand Prix heads to Singapore then Malaysia (Sepang), Japan (Suzuka), USA (Austin), Mexico (Mexico City), Brazil (Interlagos) & the season finale at Abu Dhabi (And it's only 8 races left in the 2017 season) in the UAE (United Arab Emirates):
''A true theatre of motor sport, built nearly 100 years ago. Set in a park in a northern suburb of Milan. Monza oozes character, tradition & passion despite a relatively simple layout that encourages high performance at a track considered to be home ground for Ferrari & the Italian team's fanatical supporters''
So that is my 139th blog of the year 2017 (MMXVII) & my 59th this year.
P.S. And Lewis Hamilton has broken the all-time record set by Michael Schumacher for most pole positions at 69 but he had to spoil Ferrari's party (Well, he just came here in Italy to take victory) with a win by finally taking over the championship lead from Sebastian Vettel (And I mean how did Vettel surrender his championship lead to Hamilton? Because he was put to the sword after finishing on the podium in 3rd behind Valtteri Bottas (Finland) & ahead of Daniel Ricciardo (Australia), well that was disappointing enough for him) after back to back wins in Belgium & Italy because that was Hamilton's 6th win of the season compared to Vettel's 4, Bottas's 2 & Ricciardo's 1 but he still might win the championship (Well, his road to his 4th Formula 1 title has started already in Belgium so it's game on) in order to regain it from Nico Rosberg.
