BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - HAMILTON THE WINNER, DESPITE THE PEREZ PERIL! THE END.

Image
But the real heightened and nail biting tension which Perez's careless, if not deliberate, action caused, is that of wiping out Hamilton's slender lead over Vettel.  And presenting Vettel with the opportunity of attempting to 'jump' Hamilton at the restart of the race, following the departure of the Safety Car.  Would Vettel be able or unable to benefit from this, to him, god-sent opportunity?  And, as the cars, in their carefully controlled pace, bunched up behind Hamilton and the SC, all watching eyes, all listening ears.  Became the portals through which situationally affected lungs, hearts and thoughts, became hostages to the unfolding enthralling drama. But for Hamilton, it was a challenge which he was not going to be found wanting in his ability to meet and overcome.  Not now, not today, not when the stars have been foretelling maximum alignment between the positive forces comprising him, his car and his team, all weekend. And so it was tha

Hail The Setting Sun!

What would or could us humans do without the Sun and its versility? We would probably not have existed, which is why the ancients were fearful of the going down of the Sun, wondering whether it would be coming back the next day. Please take a look at this short video of a few moments of the setting of the Summer Sun, viewed from a particular position, as it approaches the horizon.

BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - HAMILTON THE WINNER, DESPITE THE PEREZ PERIL! PART 1.

There was a time, in Lewis Hamilton's early Formula 1 career, when the then relatively much younger racer would be the cause of mishaps on the circuit.  As pushed his car fearlessly and probably unwisely, in trying to find the route to get him to the front of the pack.  Doing so  with probably not enough thought for the other cars in his way. As a result of his fearless intrepidity, Hamilton was to earn the opprobrium of some of his Formula 1 colleagues.  Including Felipe Massa, whose car had, on more than one occasion, been the subject of unhappy contact with Hamilton's. How ironic it was, therefore, that the determined but, arguably reckless driving of Sergio Perez, should have thrown up the circumstances which gave Lewis Hamilton his biggest challenge to winning the 2017 Belgium Grand Prix at the Circuit Spa de-Francorchamps. At the end of the 44 laps on this impressive and esteemed circuit, Lewis looked noticeably tired and drained, if clearly very r

When I person is inspired by their aspiration to achieve something, if it is at all achievable, do not underestimate their ability to achieve it.  This, then, is the lesson or one of the lesson to be taken from Lewis Hamilton's scorching Pole achievement at the Belgian Grand Prix Qualifying Session, at the Circuit de Spa- Francorchamps. Motivated by his championship aspirations, driven by his inspiration and protected by the positive energies of of the Circuit and his oneness with his car and team.  Hamilton drove Car 44 with the courage and fearlessness of a racer who knows that he is fated to turn in a great performance and achieve his goal.  In this case, his goal to equal Schumacher's 68 Pole positions. And now, having, with Team Mercedes and his car, placed himself on Pole, Hamilton has  the edge to achieving a thrilling.  Of course, in order to do so, Hamilton and Team Mercedes must be able to recreate the synchronicity which gave them Pole position.  And

JUST PHILOSOPHING - IT IS A LOT ABOUT PERCEPTION AND EXPECTATION. THE END!

So it is, that, oftentimes, the outcome of our social intercourse is not determined by the factual issues discussed, but by the extraneous factors, influences which we draw on during the exchange.  Whether or not we are fully aware of them and them doing so.  This is why it can be positive and constructive for  us to take a bit of time out, when our social intercourse is becoming too tense and stressful, and cool down and do a bit of reflection, a bit of analysis. Of course, there are times when some of us perceive this option as another source of irritation.  Asking ourselves the question, 'what is going on here; this situation should not be happening?'  If we are or were able to do so, there are times when we would have better outcomes. If only we were able to have better control of some of those extraneous factors.  Probably the fact that we are being too controlled by our emotions, by our vulnerabilities, by our insecurities, by our unyielding quest to '

JIHADISM AND THE UNBELIEVABLE DELUSIONAL PSYCHOTIC STATE OF ITS FOLLOWERS! PART 1.

'Why is she sad', asked the delusional spouse of the now dead British Jihad, through interpretor sitting beside the latter's grieving mother?  The spouse having previously declared her happiness that her late husband - clearly a preferred state of being for the innocents whose lives he would have taken, had he lived - was now in heaven (god knows which heaven she was referring to .  Her apparent surprised that the mother of this man, who had done her such terrible dishonour and disgraced his family and country, should not be praising the Jihadi's God - who reasonably humans would see as the proverbial Devil - seemed palpable.  The Jihadi's wife could not appreciate the understandably ambivalent state the mother had, of feeling both grief for having lost her son to death, and relief that he is no longer around to slaughter and oppress innocent humans. Although, arguably, she had lost her son from the day he fell victim to the unbelievably delusional and
