Although there is nothing in it to say the decision to keep him out, was malicious and made with the awareness of information indicating that it was likely to be the wrong decision. So, although Valtteri, somewhat poignantly and Hamiltonesquely, in his first comment after the race.   Declared that he got nothing positive out of the race, thereby doing great injustice to the excellent fight he had put up in keeping Vettel and Raikkonen and Ricciardo behind him for as long as he did.  Was not fighting and sacrificing himself in order to promote or enhancing Hamilton's chances of winning the race.  Bottas was fighting to preserve his chances of winning the race, or, atleast, to maintain his then P.2 position.  Bottas' valorous, and, ironically, Hamiltonesque, fight might have, by way of, assisted Hamilton's fight to maintain his winning lead, but it was not meant to be an altruistic battle to support Hamilton's and the overall Team's objective. 

Both in terms of the proportion of Americans who would rate themselves as being happy, and the extent of their happiness?  The answer is likely to be related to what they define as, and experience as 'happiness.' Just as how it is for any other nations.  For some of us, 'happiness' is not an absolute state. It is a matter of relativism. Comparison with the fortunes and misfortunes of other. It might be a function of the relative absence of 'needs' of various kinds.  Whereas, for others, it might be about the extent to which they have been able to satisfy their excessive desires, wants and greed.  The satiation of their acquisitiveness. While for some people, happiness might just be about being able to live their lives in frugally and peacefully.   And what of the pursuit of 'life' and 'liberty', how are we doing here? Well, we should be careful that we do not spend too much of our brief duration of ergosumness '

Or whether someone else or something else would have intervened in some or most of these situations.  Probably as a lesser or greater alternative cost to the that which was actually extracted. Since what has happened has happened, we are spared the alternative reality and the alternative cost of it. It becomes a 'what if scenario', which is open to a lot of unhelpful speculation. And so it is or might be with Valtteri Bottas' sterling driving performance on Sunday during the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring Circuit.  Bottas did an excellent, although not rare job in fending of the baying Ferrari duo of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen.   Who were pursuing him relentlessly for over 20 laps, as he occupied the space between them and his team mate, Lewis Hamilton, who was leading the race.  Having driven his tyres to near destruction, in due course, Valtteri's Car 77 end up losing much of its agility and track affinity, resulting in

Big Congratulations to Team Mercedes and Hamilton, and to Team Ferrari and Vettel and Raikkone, for placing themselves at P.1, P.2 and P.3, respectively, in the Hungarian Grand Prix.  Commiserations to Mercedes and Valtteri Bottas and Red Bull and Max Verstappen, for having their race compromised.   In the case of Bottas, by him colliding with Vettel and Ricciardo, and, in the case of Verstappen, having his race ended by major car problems. We oftentimes never know the true alternative cost of a thing, an achievement, a victory or a defeat.  No, we do not oftentimes know what would really have happened, if 'those brave men or women', that man, woman or young person has not done what they did, including making the ultimate sacrifice, as it were.  Sometimes it does seem a clear cut matter, such as when a person jumped into water and pulled a drowning person or animal out.  Or the proverbial or actual 'hero soldier' displaying seemingly scant

Still another requires that he has the backing of the relevant power broking  caucuses, such as the Jewish caucus.  Another requires that he should be conservative in his politics, and servile in his commitment to pursuing standard or orthodox American foreign policy.   Which places America's interests above that of all other countries, even if it can only be achieved at the cost of other countries having to act against their own interests. We know, also, following what might be a phenomenon, in Barak Obama becoming the first African-American President.   That it is now probable for an African American to become POTUS.  Although we do not yet know whether the America and the world will have to wait for another 233 years for another African-American to follow in his foot steps.  Probably it will not take as long, considering the the likelihood of White Americans probably becoming a minority in the next hundred years or less.  Although, considering the tend

And the even longer cancerous conflict constantly festering in Kashmir and Jammu, will be resolved.  Will the the hatred and violence which Pakistani Sunni extremist and terrorists have been meting out toward their Shiite fellow citizens, will be stilled.  That the oppressive rule of tribal and religious customs in significant parts of Pakistan.  Will give way to more enlightened policies and customs.  Which are based on human rights and the rights of the individual to conduct his/her life without the overbearing and oppressive diktat of governments, and/or religious and traditional customs. No, none of this is likely to happen anytime soon, because the challenge of transforming Pakistan is, indeed, a very formidable challenge.  And, even if Imran and his PTI and coalition government were to bring about some rapid positive changes. There would still be the bigger ongoing challenge of maintaining those changes. But, just as how Pakistanis and people all over the w

Did effect what was, indeed, another most unlikely First and Second position on the Podium for the Hungarian Grand Prix.  It was an unlikely and somewhat unexpected achievement, because of Mercedes' very unremarkable, if now worrying performance during all of the Practice sessions.  And then, with the decisive intervention of fate, in this case, the rains.  All the bones of the soothsayers were scattered on the ground, and each team and driver, guided by their soothsaying team strategists.  Were forced to interpret the conditions and circumstances in which they found themselves, and make and implement the decisions they believed the signs were telling them. Being the Believer he is, Lewis Hamilton would probably have called it faith.  Having the cars, the drivers and the team and strategies to become the optimum opportunist, Team Mercedes and their drivers were able to make the best of the fate which confronted Qualifying. As such, they are now in a posit
