BRITISH GRAND PRIX - MIXED FORTUNES AS VERSTAPPEN CRASHED OUT AND HAMILTON PREVAILED! ! ! THE END, FOR ...!

-

 








And yet, we should not be so caught-up in feeling jubilation for Camp Mercedes or indignation and anger in Camp Red Bull. 

In case we become oblivious to the fact that, at the end of the race, the damage which has been done has been mostly to Max's car.  

And  to the perceptions the racers and teams have about each other, and the people have about Hamilton and Verstappen. 

What we now know is that Lewis has very strong feelings about what he sees as Max's tendency to race aggressively.  

And Lewis feeling that he has on too many occasions been 'disrespected' by Max in how he interacts with Lewis on the circuits. 

It seems clear to  me that Lewis has had enough of, as he sees it, Max trying to race him over or push him off the circuit. 

Lewis has accepted that there was a time when he used to race aggressive, and those of us who have seen him race in his younger years, will be able to attest to that fact. 




So, the Verstappen fans might ask, why should Lewis now be taking issue with Max's aggressive racing, considering that he, Max, is now at his young 'Hamiltonesque' years? 

Could Hamilton be justifiably accused of be a tod hypocritical or displaying some double-standard her? 

Probably. It might also be that the context is somewhat different. With the stakes for the 2021 Drivers Championship, and the fierce competition between the two racers and their respective teams proving to be too combustible and not easily controlled. 

The competition and rivalry has now become more heightened. It is not just a matter of 'no quarter being given' by either racer.  

But one in which the mind-set is now one of, 'if you disrespect me, you can expect to be paid back, at least in equal measures.'

And yet, while Hamilton and Verstappen do need to continue to compete, and compete hard for the 2021 Drivers Championship, and their respective teams for the Constructor's Championship. 




They need to not eschew all obligations towards minimising the risks of them competing resulting in the DNF situation which has been Max's fate at Silverstone. 

That would not be in their and the fans interests. So, guys, cool it down. 

If Max and Team Red Bull are of the view that they want or must have 'revenge', then let it come through winning races without avoidable incidents leading to DNFs and possible injuries.

But for now, A Very Big Congratulations to Team Mercedes and Hamilton and Bottas, for making it to P.1 and P.3, and to Team Ferrari and Charles Leclerc, for making it P.2. 

A Big Confratulations also to Lando Norris for his record in consistently scoring racing points. 

And Commiserations to Max Verstappen and Team Red Bull for their crash and DNF. 

As timing goes, it is propitious that this incident should have taken place during the last of the batches of 3 races occurring consecutively. 

This will have provided the main protagonists and their teams to reflect, exhale, inhale, and calm their minds and reign in their egos, and allow sanity to prevail during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

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!

-
Image
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
