![]() ![]() ![]() These days one rarely pays for hotels in advance, but there is a point after which it costs money if you cancel. My first reaction was perhaps a little odd, but you can never do these things quickly enough: I logged into and cancelled as many hotel reservations as I could. It was two in the afternoon and I had been driving for six hours, allowing for Paris traffic and a couple of stops for coffee. I heard that Imola was off as I was on my way to Italy. If you have ever tried using Alexa set for a different language, you will know what I mean… Yes, perhaps there are clever folk who can record voice notes in some hands-free manner and then it can be automatically transcribed, but when I have tried such things the result has always been gibberish, presumably because I talk with an accent that the machine cannot understand. So any thoughts that you might have while driving need to be stored in some dusty corner of the hippocampus, until you have stopped. You can try, of course, but you might end up having an accident, or being shouted out if someone else is in the car. The other thing is that you cannot write in a notebook, no matter what the colour might be, if you are driving. As a result, the section marked “Imola 2023” is as empty as a 2021 Belgian Grand Prix lap chart. The problem with having a Grand Prix cancelled is that one does not get to trawl around the paddock and shoot the breeze with the movers and shakers and, by doing so, pick up the ins and outs of the F1 world, which is what then appears in each Green Notebook. ![]()
