BAKU GRAND PRIX QUALIFYING - TEAM MERCEDES STILL ON TOP WITH P.1 AND P.2

-










Azerbaijan is one of those Eastern countries which is known for its martial past, but, it seems, has had to contend with the martial spirit of the apparently fearless Formula 1 racers who, year after year, combat its somewhat death defying Baku race circuit. 

 As so it was that, on Qualifying on Saturday, the nearly unyielding Circuit extracted cars after cars, and damaged egos from those wanting to qualifying and take the coveted Pole position for Sunday's race. 

 Amongst those drives who had to pay the gut-wrenching price of being drawn into shielded walls of the track, were Kubica and the currently massively impressive Charles Leclerc, who is seemingly fated to win at least one World Championship. 

 Hopefully, Lewis, Bottas and Vettel, might be thinking, not the current one.


And just to reinforce their aspiration to achieving this Championship, notwithstanding their respect and admiration for the young Leclerc.  

 Team Mercedes extracted a Pole for Bottas, and a P.2 position for Hamilton, who was pipped by his team mate, due to the particular circumstances of the final lap of Qualifying.

 So, A Very Big Congratulation to Team Mercedes and their battling racers, Bottas and Hamilton. 

 Also a Big Congratulation - and commiseration - to Team Ferrari and their battling racers, Vettel, who made it to P.3, and Leclerc, for having fallen into the hands of a foul fate.
Of course, all or the racers who ventured onto this circuit and risked what has become somewhat of a 'destruction derby.' 



Are worthy of the respect of those of us who are able to watch and enjoy their bravery, from the safety of not having to participate in the Practice and Qualifying stages.

 But what of today, Race Day? Who which team and drivers will prevail and occupy the Podium? 

 Is it going to be Charles Leclerc, 'The Fated One'? Or will it be Valtteri Bottas, the racer who has apparently remodelled himself into a racer who is now about winning racers, more than ever before? 

 And what about Sebastian Vettel; is he and Team Ferrari fated to become 'The Conquerors of Baku'? 


Or could it be Ricciardo, Perez, Verstappen, the list goes on.

 But what about Lewis Hamilton; could Baku 2019 Grand Prix be won by him and Team Mercedes, probably in the manner of how they had claimed Bahrain? 

 It is both possible and probably. How probably we shall have to await the race, to see what the gods and fate, and the racers and their team.  

 Have taken to Baku, and what chemical reaction all the factors and ingredients will have wrought. What team tactics and strategies and driver skills and experiences will be deployed.

 As we look forward to another thrilling and safe race.

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

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.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

AMERICA'S DYSFUNCTIONAL DIPLOMATIC MODEL! PART 1.

-
Image
Diplomacy ought to be the process by which nations, through their governments, establish and maintain mutually beneficial and peaceful relationships between them; Diplomacy is not, like the Gulf Cooperation Council members and their allies, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE states, trying to bully and intimidate Qatar into doing their bidding, by surrendering its sovereignty.  Neither is diplomacy what the American government is doing, in using sanctions to force the governments of states of Iran, Russia and North Korea, into complying with its demands.  About what action they should or should not take in pursuing what they consider to be in the interest of their countries and people.  No, none of this is diplomacy. Rather it is method of force and compulsion, which is not synonymous with principle or practice of diplomacy.  Which is about the art of establishing and maintaining peaceful and mutually beneficial relationships between different countries.
