THE HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX - LEWIS AND BOTTAS MADE IT P.1 AND 2, AS MAX CAME IN AT P.3.

-

 





So, A Very Big Congratulations to Team Mercedes and Hamilton and  Bottas, for achieving P.1 and 2, in Saturday's Qualifying  session of the Formula 1 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, and to Team Red Bull and Max Verstappen, for making it to P.3.

It is great to see that Max has not lost any of his racing courage and verve, after his unfortunate but spectacular and premature exit from the last Grand Prix, the British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit. 

Indeed, Max's pace during Q.2 recalled his and Team Red Bull's dominance prior and upto his misfortune at Silverstone.

With Lewis having achieved his Pole during the first lap of Q.3, it is a further reinforcement of the principle that you should never bank on your last lap during Qualifying being your winning lap. 

You just never known what will happen, such as whether the session might have to be prematurely ended due to some mishap. So, the aim should be to make your first or second lap be the best.




While Hamilton and Bottas and Team Mercedes seem, on the basis of their pace during Q.3 of the Hungarian Grand Prix, to have or be regaining their competitive pace with Max and Team Red Bull. 

What might be just as significant, is the appearance of the beginning of the return of fierce, but calm and 'respectful' rivalry and  competition between Max and Red Bull, on the one hand, and Lewis and Team Mercedes on the other. 

Taking the position of the optimist, this is the message I have chosen to draw from observing Max and Lewis fist-pumping at the end of qualifying. 

It would be very instructive for them to prove the pessimists and sustainers of 'controversy' and negativety wrong.




So, shall we now look forward to the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, to see how it will evolve from start to finish, with the race probably being decided by the outcome of the 600 metres between the Starting Grid and the first corner. 

We can expect  an epic dash off the grid, with the racers with the best start having the advantage. Although Lewis is on Pole, that advantage can only serve him if he gets the best or a very good start. 

If Bottas or Max, or, indeed, even a racer further back, gets a better start than the 'Poleist' himself, then, the lead could be lost. 

Which would not necessarily mean that Hamilton could or will not win the race. Providing Car 44 remain race-worthy. 

Which is why it is of the utmost importance that all the competitors endeavour to keep it safe for the duration of the race.

So, racers, go racing, hard but safely, and make it an enjoyable experience for yourselves, your teams and those of us watching you.

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.
