Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about this, uh, Formula One thingy, the one they had in Abu Dhabi back in 2018. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I saw some racin’ on the TV, and I can tell ya a thing or two.
So, this Formula One Abu Dhabi 2018, it was a big deal, see? Folks were all riled up about it. They said it was the last race of the year, somethin’ about a “Grand Prix.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? But to me, it’s just cars goin’ real fast in a circle. Reminds me of them boys racin’ their tractors down the dirt road after a few too many beers, only these cars are a whole lot shinier and cost more than my whole darn farm.
Now, they got this fella, Lewis Hamilton, he’s the one everyone was talkin’ about. Seems like he won the whole shebang. Beat some other guy named Sebastian Vettel. Drove a Ferrari, they said. Red car, real flashy. But Hamilton, he was somethin’ else. They said he wasn’t even sweatin’ it, won easy as pie. Must be one heck of a driver, that fella.
This race, it was in Abu Dhabi, some faraway place with sand and sunshine. Not like here, where we got mud and rain half the time. They built this fancy track, they call it the Yas Marina Circuit. Heard it’s got lights and everything, so they can race at night. Imagine that! Racinin’ under the stars. We just got the moon and fireflies around here.
- So, this Hamilton fella, he won. That’s the main thing.
- They raced in Abu Dhabi, a place with lots of sand.
- The race was on somethin’ called the Yas Marina Circuit.
- It was the last race of the year, a big deal for them racing folks.
They said it was Hamilton’s last race with his teammate too, some young whippersnapper named Max Verstappen. And it was Hamilton’s 100th race, or somethin’ like that. A hundred races! That’s a lot of goin’ in circles, I tell ya. My old truck barely made it a hundred thousand miles before it started fallin’ apart.
Now, these races, they ain’t short, no sir. They say they go on for about an hour and a half, sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends on how long the track is, I guess. They gotta drive a certain distance, somethin’ like 300 miles. That’s like drivin’ to the next county and back, only they doin’ it in circles, real fast. Only place they don’t do that much drivin’ is in that Monaco place, they said. Short track, I reckon.
This Abu Dhabi race, it started in the evenin’, around five o’clock. Smart, them fellas. Ain’t nobody want to be racin’ in the desert sun in the middle of the day. You’d fry like an egg on a hot skillet. Evenin’s nicer, cooler, good for watchin’ cars go zoom zoom.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, they call it. Sounds like somethin’ important, and I guess it is, for them racin’ folks. Me, I prefer watchin’ the chickens chase each other ‘round the yard, but to each their own, I always say. It’s all just goin’ in circles, one way or another.
Anyway, that’s what I remember ’bout that Formula One race in Abu Dhabi in 2018. Fast cars, a fella named Hamilton winnin’ everything, and a whole lotta fuss over somethin’ that looks an awful lot like goin’ ’round and ’round in circles. But hey, that’s just my take on it. You young folks probably understand it better than this old woman.
2018 Formula One season was a hoot, even if I didn’t understand all of it. Just glad I didn’t have to pay for them fancy cars or all that gas. Lord knows I couldn’t afford it. Stickin’ to my old truck and my dirt roads is good enough for me.
So next time you hear about this Formula 1 racing, remember this old woman told you a thing or two about it. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s a whole lot of folks watchin’ cars go in circles. And that fella Hamilton, he’s pretty darn good at it, that’s for sure.
