Congrats Max, best team, best car, best driver 🍾🥂
Hear a lot that with the new Omicron subvariants, the vulnerable are only of concern, well....than I have news for you! You, yes, probably you too, have or will maybe become the vulnerable today after one or more covid-19 episodes. Your acquired post-infection/vaccine immunity isn't solid ...1/3
