When your obsession has no limit, ⁦ @F1⁩ is shut down, & ⁦ @Amazon⁩ delivers! Waiting for my ⁦ @Porsche⁩ - can’t find a ⁦ @MercedesAMGF1⁩ - so this red beauty ⁦ @Ferrari⁩ gets to start the 2020 race season first. #stayathome ⁦ @G_RequinBlanc⁩

Now this is starting to look like a contest... @ScuderiaFerrari vs @Porsche ... either way I win. Standby for racing coverage. @PorscheCanada @G_RequinBlanc @drbatte @arcticseamoose

Gunther hard at work... trained in Stuttgart

Mario, from @ScuderiaFerrari , looks on with confidence...

Mario throws his hands up in frustration knowing things are about to get serious... despite their want to approach each other in the spirit of competition, they maintain #PhysicalDistancing

Much to the disappointment to his fans, Mario’s car fails to start... he kicks the tire in frustration... meanwhile Gunther simply and confidently asks “bereit?”

It’s not looking good for Mario; time to call @ScuderiaFerrari and get some professional help. Meanwhile, Gunther is just chillin’...

Mario has fixed the problem - a fault in the KERS controls - and he and Gunther are ready to race... they will forego grid penalties and race side by side... tomorrow

Preparations are getting underway at Le Circuit D’Orleans. The striking difference in the number of spare parts is hopefully not a harbinger of things to come for Mario & @ScuderiaFerrari. Gunther simply checking the oil on his @Porsche. The tension is building... #StayHomeCanada

Drone coverage....

On the start line, ready for the warm-up lap...

After all that, the @fia shuts down the race due to a protest by an, as of yet un-identified, manufacturer... Mario literally pulls his hair out; even the typically Gunther is “frustriet” what is going to happen next....?

The @fia confirms that both @AudiOfficial and @McLarenAuto have requested to participate. They will be permitted to race in a couple of days.

Abbie, an accomplished racing driver, is turning her own wrench to get her @Audi ready for the race, but it’s a daunting task. Mario and Gunther are nowhere in sight... #PhysicalDistancing @AbbieEaton44 @LEGO_Group

Gunther and Mario decide to be good sorts & pitch-in & help - while maintaining 2 m #PhysicalDistancing - this should help Abbie get ready sooner. #StayHomeCanada @Audi @AbbieEaton44

It was a long night in the garage, but Abbie is doing the final checks before she takes her car out for a test-run. Mario and Gunther are watching from a safe distance #PhysicalDistancing @Audi

After a long delay, the final competitor arrived. Meet Nigel from @McLarenAuto. He’s been sent to ensure @McLarenF1 have a chance at Le Circuit D’Orleans against @PorscheRaces, @ScuderiaFerrari & @AudiOfficial (with driver @AbbieEaton44). Strong grid developing... @F1

Nigel’s first task seems to have been to construct a portable wind-tunnel... looks like @McLarenF1 have come to win!
