MEXICAN GRAND PRIX/2017 FORMULA 1 DWC - VERSTAPPEN AND HAMILTON ON TOP ! THE END!

-



Why, we asked ourselves, is Valtteri Bottas not catching Verstappen, and is instead falling back relentlessly.  So that, by the end of the race, he was probably nearer to his team mate that to the leader of the race? 

 Not surprisingly, many of us, probably including yourself, Lewis, did contemplate the improbably; that you might not finish the Mexican Grand Prix!

 It is therefore not surprising that many of the fans, the watching spectators, might felt that they/we have been robbed of the sense of elation.  

 Which we would certainly have felt, which you would have felt, Lewis, had you won the 2017 Drivers' Championship from the Podium, instead of from the unfamilarily of P.9.

With you placing yourself at P.9 having become such a major achievement, in a phenomenon race, it was not to be.

 However, as Nikki Lauder and Toto Wolff have observed, winning the Driver's World Championship is still winning it, from which ever position. 

 An observation which cannot be denied. Even if you, Team Mercedes, might consider it to be somewhat of a slight, an anomalous situation.  

 Which  might benefit from being 'corrected' with Team Mercedes-Hamilton-Bottas winning one or both of the last two races of the 2017 Season. 

After all, it seems inconceivable that the Team fail to do so, and end the Season with atypical and feeble performances, thereby feeding the impression that 'they are losing it.' 

 That Team Mercedes have peaked and are declining. That they will become easy meat, to be gobbled up by the baying and intrepid young wolves, young warriors in the 2018 Formula 1 Season!

 But for now, it was good to have an eventful Grand Prix, one which has, at least for more laps than many of us found comfortable, reminded us of how fickle racing can be, and how much can depend on the gods of fortune. 

 That, either that nothing goes wrong, or that, if it does, it should not be beyond being recovered, as has been the sad case of Team Ferrari-Vettel's attempt to win the 2017 Formula 1 Drivers' World Championship. 

As we have seen in the case of Ricciardo and all the other disappointed drivers whose race came to an end, before the Checkered Flag was waved.

 However, just as the Sun and the Moon shines on all, in their allotted time, and the tide of the ocean rises and flows, in turn. Sunday 29th October 2017, as far as Formula 1 racing is concerned, belongs to you  and Verstappen, Lewis. 

 So savour your much deserved and worthy wins, guys. 

 Before you, Lewish, and Team Mercedes return to planning how The Team is going to re-acquire the integrity and performance optimisation of all integrated systems, team, drivers, and, probably most crucially, its cars. 

 So that TeamMercedes-Hamilton-Bottas can complete the unfinished business of the 2017 Season, by achieving another grand prix win; or two!

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - THE DIVERGENT PATH OF LEAPHAR'S LIFE JOURNEY - A GOOD DAY AT THE PUB! PART 3.

Shortly after making himself comfortable, Leaphar found that the toilet beckoned, with his urge to empty his bladder. S o it was off to the toilets, where he did the business. Upon washing his hands, Leaphar, probably imagining himself to be in a place and time where he was many decades ago.   Ignored the convenience of the technologically advances warm embrace of the hot air of the Hand-Drying machines.   As he reached into his pocket and, with the satisfaction of magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, conjured up his handkerchief.  Which he used to wipe his hands, before forcing it back into his pocket. Making his way back to the table, Leaphar nonchalantly gazed around the Bar, smiling and savouring the scenery.  Would he see anybody whom he knew, or who knew him, in case he did not remember them?  To his right, several tables away, were  5 men, all of them looking not a day younger than 60 years old, but more likely all being of retirement age.  Three of th

BRITAIN'S BORIS JOHNSON'S FAILED ATTEMPT TO PUT THE CASE FOR BREXITOPIA!

-

The British government is having a hard time traversing the treacherous voyage which it hopes will take the country, or rather the United Kingdom, to the  promised land of Brexitopia.  In case you have never heard of this professed enchanted land of gold and golden prospects, fear not.  Because it has only recently been discovered. Having been concealed under the aspirational and/or delusional world inhabited by a part of the British population which feel that they have been victimised by the European Union.  A section of the population that perceives - not entirely without some merits - the European Union's attempt at empire building, in much the same way as the American Republicon Party sees government.  As an infringement of Britain's national sovereignty. A situation which the elite and activist section of the Brexiteers is trying to redress.  By leaving the European Union and travelling the world to re-establish old links with some countries and ne

  And even speaking as a person who is not fully convinced about the extent and kinds of power or effects the stars and other lunar bodies can have on the thoughts and motions of the human body.  Beyond the more obvious impact of their movements on the motions of the oceans.  I, Mfanyazaki, father of Kazaliwa, is of the firm belief that he, Kazaliwa, has the astrological knowledge, inspiration, acumen, enthusiasm and dedication to make a great astrologer.  If only the other requisite factors, such as those facilitating and hindering his access to the  'astrological markets',  could come into the required alignment and boost his sales and market share.  However, notwithstanding his passion and the tremendous amount of work he has been putting in, Kazaliwa has not yet achieved his goal, but he remains as passionate and committed to doing so, as he was in the first couple of years of setting out on this journey.  Indeed, there are times when, to the observer, including myself, the

AFGHANISTAN - WESTERN HUMANITARIANISM AND 'HUMAN RIGHTS' WAS ONLY A COVER FOR ITS INTERVENTION!!!! WHAT NEXT!

  That, like it has been in so many other things, it has been promoting the art of deception, selfish, self-interested, and machivellianistic. And the lesson that the people of Afghanistan have to learn from this debacle, is that people have only themselves to depend on to build the society they aspire towards.  Therefore, it makes good sense for them to make it easier on themselves, by applying the necessary degree of tolerance and reasonableness.  To eschew the path of extremism and irrationality, so that there can be more common ground between all the peoples of Afghanistan to unite, cooperate and build their nation.  And herein lies the biggest challenge for the Taliban administration. Do they want to be a conduit or enabler for a better Afghanistan?  Or do they want to deprive the people of a future, by effectively amputating the nation's feet and hands, and forbid the people from developing and applying their intellect to building their country? It is a crime against both hum
