Well, the Formula 1 circus is heading to Mexico at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez over in the nation's capital of Mexico City as Lewis Hamilton still leads the championship hoping to regain the title so here is the circuit guide which will host round 18 of the 2017 FIA Formula 1 World Championship at the Mexican Grand Prix before it heads to Brazil (Interlagos) & the season finale at Abu Dhabi (And it's only 3 races left in the 2017 season) in the UAE (United Arab Emirates):
''Challenging track within a park not far from the centre of Mexico City. Colourful & controversial from the 1st Grand Prix in 1963 to the last of that era in 1970. Revived on a shorter version between 1986 & 1992. Returned with more revisions in 2015.''
So that is my 159th blog of the year 2017 (MMXVII) & my 79th this year (Only 41 blogs until I reach the double hundred because I have broken the record for the most blogs in a month, unbelievable! Well, believe that!).
P.S. And go Wanganui tomorrow against Horowhenua-Kapiti in the Meads Cup final at Levin Domain over in Levin tomorrow so I'll be watching tomorrow's game with Pops live on Sky Sport 1 at 2:30pm (The Mitre 10 Cup Championship final is on tonight with Wellington taking on Bay Of Plenty at Westpac Stadium in Wellington with the winner taking Waikato's place to play in the Premiership next year then it is all business as Canterbury (One of 2 teams along with Auckland to have never been relegated) taking on Tasman in a repeat of last year's Premiership final in the Mitre 10 Cup Premiership final at AMI Stadium in Christchurch & finally it is the Lochore Cup final between Mid Canterbury & West Coast over at the Methven Recreational Reserve in Methven to wrap up an action packed weekend of domestic rugby finals weekend) but I've got the new Project CARS 2 game that I've got on the PS4 yesterday (It is much better than the 1st Project CARS game).
And finally the All Blacks squad has been named for the Northern tour (3 tests against France, Scotland & Wales as well as both uncapped games against the Barbarians & France XV) just several days after our heartfelt & gut-wrenching defeat against the Wallabies in the last Bledisloe Cup test for 2017 so here's the full squad:
