FORMULA 1, SAUDI ARABIA GRAND PRIX : MAX AND RED BULL PREVAILED AGAINST LECLERC AND FERRARI!!!

  The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix provided us with a what was nothing short of a thrilling second race of the 2021 Formula 1 Season.  Resulting in Max Verstappen, after another, but more adrenalised Abu Dhabiesque 2021 finish, with none other than the now somewhat infamous Lathifi bringing out the Safety Car, b y losing it and embracing the fearsome barrier along the circuit.  Prevailing over Charles Leclerc to take the victory which he might have secured in the first race of the 2022 Formula 1 Season, had his care not lost power and failed to finish.

And so it was, that Kazaliwa made his first attempt at living on his own and weathering the challenges which his endeavour threw up.  Challenges such managing and coping with keeping your room tidy and healthy, especially in cold winter nights and days.   Challenges such contending with a kitchen, toilet and shower which was shared by multi-occupants.  Challenges such as getting rid of the communal rubbish. Challenges such as coping with other tenants who refuse to 'pull their weight', as i
