It's actually Palm Sunday but I'd like to change it to Chicken Parma Sunday instead. ๐Ÿ“

I'll be honest - I've always thought the GP and car racing in general are kind of stupid. I don't like most sports and similar events, but I wouldn't go as far as to outright call most of them stupid, except the GP. Seems like such a waste of everything. But I suppose it brings in those tourist $$ so it'll be what it'll be I guess

Well without these races we wouldn't have the safety features that modern day cars now have. Thats what I understand of it.
