GERMAN GRAND PRIX - NICO ROSBERG ON POLE AND HAMILTON P2; A GAME OF PREDATOR AND PREY?

-






Quiet contemplation is need for tomorrow's Hockenheim Grand Prix





Tomorrow's German Grand Prix is due to take place at Germany's Hockenheim circuit, and should probably be a finely balanced race, with one of Germany's 3 Grand Prix racers, Nico Rosberg, being on Pole, with his arch rival, Lewis Hamilton, breathing down his back at P2. As if that is not enough excitement and trepidation for Mercedes and grand prix fans all over the world, Daniel Riccardo, that intrepid and most gregarious of Formula One drivers/racers, is occupying P3 position.

 This will be the second consecutive time when Rosberg has placed himself on Pole, with Hamilton behind him. In the last race Hamilton, with some good fortune, prevailed upon Rosberg and overtook at the start of the race, and won it. The question now, is that of whether Hamilton, using the skills and experience he has, and blessed with more good fortune, will be able to repeat the feat of overtaking Rosberg, again, in the very early stages of the Hockenheim Grand Prix. 

 To say that Rosberg was extremely disappointed with not winning the Hungarian Grand Prix might be the proverbial understatement. To say that Rosberg will be feeling that he has no option but to win his home, the German Grand Prix, is to state the obvious

 At the same time, it is very clear that Lewis has already told himself that, Pole or no Pole, he wants, he intends to win the German Grand Prix; probably not because he wants to shame or ridicule his team mate, but because he has determined that he can win the 2016 World Championship, and winning every race counts. He is setting himself the target of winning this race, but would settle for second place; if he has no option but to do so.  For example, should the gods, for whatever reasons, decide that this one is not his to win.

 The Hockenheim Grand Prix will be an extremely charged affair. For Rosberg, winning it might be considered to be a matter of 'honour.' For Hamilton, it is simply another opportunity to win and add another race to his tally of wins and to continue his progression towards trying to win the world championship.
The racers need to stay calm, cool and collected and drive with controlled passion. 

 However, precisely because this race is so highly charged, the stakes are very high, and requires Hamilton and Rosberg to, at all cost, including not winning, if needs be, avoid coming into contact with each others car.

 This race can be won by either Rosberg or Hamilton, but only if they avoid impacting each others car. They must survive the start of the race, and not try to win it in the first or first couple of laps. Hamilton is somewhat compromised by losing out on Pole, but he is not irredeemably compromised, and could still win the race by remaining calm, cool and collected, while employing, in tandem with his team, the right tactics and strategies throughout the race.

 Hamilton is more than capable of winning this race, but if he is to do so, he must drive with the maturity and mastery which is befitting that of his and Rosberg's Mercedes racing cars.

 So, as we await what should be a potentially very exciting German Grand Prix, let us hope that the racers stay calm, drive skillfully and within the rules, and give all Grand Prix fans a great and excitng race to remember. Especially as there is this threat hanging over whether Hockenheim can survive as a Grand Prix circuit.

 Let the best racer, with his share of luck win.

The winner will be the driver who is able to drive as if he has become at one with the elements around him,  using their energy to propel him and flowing with it frictionlessly.

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

CONTEMPLATIVE MOODS - IF LIFE IS A B..... THEN CHECK OUT SOME CLASSICAL MUSIC BEFORE YOU DIE!

-

So, if life were a bitch and then we die, need we say or do or think anymore of the matter? If life were a bitch and then we die, might we not surmise that it be our duty to screw life before we die, that we might gain some small pleasure, some small satisfaction from our life the life we live, before we die? But of course, some of us might as some point, consider that it is life which screws the living and not the living who does the screwing. And, in the knowledge that the term screwing can have an ambivalent meaning, in that it can mean participating in an event from which we derive pleasure, as well as being used as a pejorative term of abuse.  So it is that life and living can be both pleasurable and miserable to us who are required to endure it. To live it, to savour it. And so it is that I wish to comment on the beauty of music, with which we can fill many moments of our lives and our living with. Music, said the song, is the food of love. Yet, we need not
