Cling on to your undies and keep those moist towelettes on standby folks, the next thrilling edition of the 2024 Formula One season is about to smack us in the chops.
Fun filled and joyous Qatar hosts the 23rd race of the season and I know you just can't wait.
Qatar has the 8th highest nominal GDP per capita in the world and its approximately 310000 citizens are well looked after by the roughly 2.7 million expats and migrant workers who also live in their country. As a Middle Eastern state the sun shines all year round and it rarely rains which means you don't often see rainbows.
The track itself has some straight bits and some corners, goes around in a big loop and has a start finish line. The usual experience.
Fans across the world are on the edge of their seats, nails bitten to the quick, as we all wonder who will clinch the prized world constructors title.
Many questions may be answered this weekend.
Will Christian Horner concede Perez is awful and without Newey Red Bull are screwed?
Since Danica Patrick hosted a podcast talking about rich, powerful people being alien lizards, why has Damon Hill chosen to retire from Sky TV's coverage?
Will a mechanic at the lower end of the grid accidentally run over Ted Kravitz with a forklift and wipe that smug grin off his face?
Will McLaren try a different tactic by starting Lando on the grid facing backwards because that's the direction he seems to take off the line and this time he may actually gain a place?
Will Lewis Hamilton just say sod it and punch Max Verstappen in the balls?
Come Sunday afternoon, we'll find out.
I'm busy both Saturday and Sunday but I'm sure some of you will tune in.
