I’m returning to Barcelona for three days of work at our European headquarters. This time my wife is traveling with me so she can enjoy the city during the day and we can enjoy some Spanish wine and food in the evening.
We booked tickets for Casa Batlló later today. While both of us have been to Barcelona multiple times, we have never visited this Gaudi masterpiece.

I combined two training sessions this morning as I will be traveling from Wednesday onwards, and I don’t know yet if I can run in Barcelona in the second half of this week.

This week passed by very fast. I enjoyed having time to do some tech stuff on Thursday evening, and it’s great to have the Formula 1 season kick-off again this week.
Updated on other things happening are below. Have fun reading them.

What a great opening to the F1 season with today’s qualifying in Melbourne. The Papapya’s are in the front row. Too bad Piastri didn’t secure a pole for his home race. Verstappen taking 3rd position behind them is a surprise, as I expected Ferrari to be on the 2nd and 3rd rows of the grid. Williams did a good job today, and so did Gasly.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race. I don’t think Verstappen can do anything to split Norris and Piastri at race pace unless we get some serious rainfall. McLaren still has the fastest cars on the grid.
