🙏 Monaco Prayer Circle
Instead of doing a jinx poll, I will be trying something more powerful - a prayer circle. In addition to not jinxing the driver(s) who wins this poll, I will print out an image of the driver(s) and place it next to this lit religious candle and rosary prior to and during the race. Let’s fend off all evil energy.
CONGRATULATIONS TO FERRARI 🙏
