It is a new year and a new season of F1 is almost upon us!

I have been feeling hopeful lately, and with the return of F1, perhaps even a bit excited. The start of the season will be a bit different with no testing in Spain and the first race not being held in Australia. Instead, we will have testing and the season opener both in Bahrain.

To see all the updates and changes as well as recipes from previous years, check out the Race Calendar. Here are the main updates:

Before ending this post, I just wanted to share a few of the bright spots in my life these days. I have been baking a lot, enjoying spending more time with my cats Lulu and Jenson, and taking daily walks around my yard to see what is in bloom.

Hope you had a restful, healthy, and cozy winter. I, for one, am ready for spring and all it has to offer. I would love to know what you are looking forward to in 2021!
