ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX - ADIOS TO PROBABLY THE MOST CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER FORMULA ONE SEASON!!! FINIS!

With Sebastian Vettel, it is arguable that he has achieved his humanity before and since he has become a great formula 1 racing champion.

I mean, the impression I have is that of me watching Hamilton and Vettel learning to appreciate, respect and forming a beautiful relationship with one another over the past several years. 

I have watched them transforming themselves and their relationship from antagonistic and almost bitter competitors, seeing one or the other having been disrespectful or malicious, even when there has been no certain proof of such ill-will. Into becoming beautiful human beings. 

Whether or not, and, if so, to what extent this beautiful transformation has been achieved partly because Seb has not for a long time been a big challenger to Hamilton for the championship, might indeed be a factor. 




What is certain, however, is that Hamilton and Sebastian have recovered the genuine respect and friendship I gathered they had had in their pre-Formula 1 years. 

They have move on from being 'boys' who want to make a name for themselves, to men who have already made their 'names' and now have more substance to them. And this is an achievement which I had always want Vettel and Hamilton to make. 

So, yes, everything comes to an end at sometime, and this is why I wish Sebastian Vettel an enjoyable life away from the excitement and, yes, sometimes not very satisfying circuits of Formula 1.

Auf wiedersehen, Sebastian!  And danke schoen for your substantial contribution to my enjoyment of Formula 1. Enjoy the rest of your life's journey al least as much as you have enjoyed all or parts of your Formula 1 career.

And now, let us enjoy each day, as best we can, until cometh the beginning of the 2023 Formula 1 season, willing it not to be a continuation of the 2022 season, but a much much more competitive one.

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

THE EMMANUEL CHURCH SERVICE - GODISM, RELIGION AND THE END OF RATIONALITY?

All or many things are indeed 'bright and beautiful', but did the lord god really made them all? And what about the things which are not 'bright and beautiful'? So, there I was on this dour but still refreshing Sunday, with the heavens or sky enveloped in grey clouds, as far as the seeing eye could see, as the saying goes, when the BBC's Radio 4 Morning Service came on. As much as I am an evolutionist, I still could not help but being spiritually stirred by the stirring force of the 'religious' song which the congregation - from The Emmanuel Church, in Manchester, United Kingdom - began to sing.  You might imagine, wrongly, that this was a case of god getting through to a non-believer, but that is not really the case. It was really more a matter of a person who had a background of having to go to Church and had been indoctrinated throughout early childhood. A person in whom the 'fear of god and fear of hell' had been instilled during th
