A very special lap of the blogs edition since this week’s video is a lap of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, where the Formula 1 race is taking place this weekend – and as always, I will be there soaking up the action. A friend of mine is lucky enough to be having lunch with Kimi Raikkonnen (lucky guy!), but I will be much further from the action… such is the life of a mere peon. :)
