The financial backing he has received from his sponsors, and, probably most importantly, his decision to leave McLaren when he did, and to be embraced by expertise of Team Mercedes.  It is Team Mercedes which has helped to make Lewis Hamilton the calibre of and successful Formula 1 driver he is today, and continue to evolve into.  It is probably not the case that Team Mercedes could have promoted any good Formula 1 driver into becoming the successful and accomplished driver Lewis Hamilton is.  Lewis Hamilton is being acted upon by Team Mercedes and Team Mercedes is being acted upon by Lewis Hamilton.   There is a certain reciprocity between them, with one pushing and, in turn, being pushed by the other, so as to create, for the duration of their relationship, perpetual motion. To maintain the gravity which keeps both of them in their reciprocal orbit. Each of them is pulling their weight, which is why the Hamilton-Team Mercedes union is proving so successful. Bu

A Very Big Congratulation to Team Mercedes and Hamilton and Bottas, for having conjured up another exciting P.1 and 2 at the Japanese Grand Prix Qualifying at the Suzuka Circuit!  A Very Big Congratulation, also, to Team Red Bull and Max Verstappen, for crafting out a P.3 position for themselves.  Thereby making it a Team Mercedes and Team Red Bull affair on the Qualifying Podium, in a Q.3 session.   Which seemingly going one way and offering an exciting last lap, only to swing the other way, when the rains came a falling and washed out the final lap. So, what makes an accomplished Pole-Master extraordinaire, as Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes have now become.  On this day that Hamilton has achieved his 80th, yes, his Eightieth Grand Prix Pole?  I mean, imagine that, that this Racer Extraordinaire has carved out 4 Formula 1 seasons, 4 years of Poles? So much success for just one racer; albeit, a very special and extraordinary one. I am of the view that, althou

Like all living things, creatures, if you like, us humans are born as vulnerable infants who must be cared for and protected until we are able to fend for ourselves, as ti were.  And so it is given to us, according to our fate, to have a lifespan between our birth and our point of departure from the Good Planet Earth.  With some of us being blessed and others being cursed to live to a comparatively old age.   While other, according to the adventures and misadventures or fortunes and misfortunes which we are fated to experience.  Are blessed or cursed to fall, apparently prematurely, along the way, without attaining 'a good old age.' So, what are or can be the signs of us humans growing into attaining old age? Well, there are the usual physical and physiological ones.  Such as our skin becoming tout and losing its elasticity and suppleness. As skin cells reduce their pace of replacing themselves, or, as seems to be the case, no longer exchange new

Who have ever walked upon the earth and contemplate what they behold. Through the collective wisdom of women having known men, through almost timeless interaction with them.  Of watching, examining and studying their behaviour. But what did she mean by 'stuff', and why did she conclude that men cannot find it? Might she have also been referring to 'how men think they know stuff'; know what is 'going on', 'what is happening', but do not 'really know nothing.'  Of how women are or really believe themselves to be rather better than men.  But, either because of their fear of men's misogynism, or their, women's own lack of self-confidence and dependence on men to protect them from other men, reluctance to be more assertive. Of course, my dear relative might well be correct in her probably intuitive conclusion that, men cannot find stuff, or, indeed, know stuff.  After all, are men not probably, deep down, really

Men cannot find stuff. So exclaimed one of my favourite relative, with an air of conviviality.  Men cannot find stuff, was that what you really said? Asked the her partner, sitting in the room with us.  Yes, she said to him; as she repeated the phrase once more. Men cannot find stuff.  But is it really true, that men cannot find stuff; I contemplated, as I reflected on  what she said.  Was there something or anything 'deep', hidden or Freudian about the statement my relative has just uttered, in a manner which suggested that it was axiomatic.  That everybody, both men and women, know, or should know that 'men cannot find stuff.' And, if so, if it is self-evident that men cannot find stuff or things?  Then, what might it be that caused her to say what she said? After all, the man had only asked her, well, not even asked her where he could find the item which he had asked her about.  It was more a matter of asking her for confirmation that the item

Which means that Bottas and Hamilton also won. Nobody, however, would deny that, for Bottas, it is not the same, and he is right to be feeling somewhat frustrated, disappointed and unfulfilled.  This is what we would expect from ordinary humans, even if Formula 1 racing drivers are somewhat more than ordinary humans. It is not inconceivable that Bottas could still win 1 or 2 races before the 2018 season finishes, as there is still time and the accumulation of points by Team Mercedes for that to happen. The Russian Grand Prix has been an exciting and enjoyable race, with some thrilling and nail-biting or white-knuckle moments.  Probably the best of them being Hamilton's aggressive overtaking of Vettel, after the latter gain the advantage on him when Hamilton made his Pit stop.  The start of the race was also breathtaking, as Bottas, Hamilton and Vettel duelled to maintain their positions, with Vettel threatening to overtake Hamilton.  And what of the

A Very Big Congratulation to Team Mercedes and Bottas and Hamilton, for making it a P. 1 and P.2 finish at the 2018 Formula 1 Russian Grand Prix at the Sochi Circuit. A Big Congratulation also to Team Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel, for again putting in the best effort they could to convert their P.3 Qualifying position into P.3 at the end of the race. Had all things been equal, it would have been Bottas and not Hamilton who would have been greeting the Checkered Flag at the end of lap 53 of the race.  However, things are not always equal, and this was one of those cases in which they were not.  As can be deduced from the fact that Hamilton, without the assistance of Bottas, in allowing him to pass him, so as to reduce the overshadowing threat from the advancing Vettel.  Would probably have definitely retained his P.2 position, but probably not have been able to overtake Bottas to win the Grand Prix.  He might or he might not have won the race, but we will never

And fairly rewarding their workers for the labour and expertise they have contributed to the business.  Being told, being legally required to give shares to their workers. Why should they have to do so?  If they the employees are already being fairly rewarded? And, yes, I am aware that the issue of determining whether or not employees are being rewarded fairly, can be fraught.  Especially when left to the ebb and flow of economic forces like supply and demand. I am no longer comfortable with, or is sold on the premis that 'labour', or, more accurately, the owner of labour and intellectual expertise, is justifiably entitled to more than a 'fair wage or salary for a fair day's work.'  Especially when this 'fair reward', as has been the tendency in many cases, includes a portion of the businesses' profits, by way of annual bonuses. When it comes to the private sector. If private sectors workers are to be rewarded with the statutor
