Recently I noticed a commercial for the new season of Hell’s Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay’s wrath at the helm. I’m quite excited to see the new contestants get battered, insulted, and broken while they try to use the last bits of determination and inspiration to pass Ramsay’s expectations.
Today when I watched the beginning of the F1 race in Monaco, they showed Gordon with his wife who came to watch the race. He seemed so much nicer than the way the media depicts him. Not one swear word came out of his mouth! Now how’s that for the critics?
So I’ll be looking forward to Monday nights starting June 4th! I hope the contestants are at least half-decent for their own sakes!

McLaren repeated their qualifying stint and Alonso won the race at Monaco, Monte Carlo for the second year in a row. It seems experience was enough to get the edge on Lewis Hamilton, who also raced well and finished in second place for the fourth race in a row. Hamilton has definitely shown the consistency required to be an F1 champion, but he is lacking the ability to finish a race strong so far.
It was good to see Alonso respond from his sub-par performance in the past few races, and to come out in Spain and show that the coveted Monaco trophy belongs to none other. One interesting fact is that the leader going into turn 1 on the first lap of the race, went on to win the race for every single race so far this season.. The next race is set for here in Canada, but out East in Montreal. It seems odd that they wouldn’t hold the race in Toronto or at least in Vancouver. Unfortunate indeed, but also because $500 a ticket for a decent seat is much to steep for my pocket!
