As for what to make of the outcome of the race. How can it be, we might ask ourselves, that outcome of this grand prix, was so much different from what so many of us might have expected?  Yes, it was the case that an unexpected rise in the atmospheric temperature, had some material significance for the pressure setting and performance of the tyres and race strategies. However, based on what transpired during Qualifying, it was know that the competitiveness of Team Ferrari and Red Bull, vis a vis Team Mercedes.   Was was on par with each other. As should have been deduced from the fact that Hamilton was only able to win Pole by 6 hundredth of second ahead of Raikkonen.  With Bottas not having been able to even make it to the Podium. So, no surprises there, regarding the Team Ferrari and Team Red Bull being able to match, if not better the expected performance achievements of Team Mercedes.  So, considered in the light of the facts of Qualifying, a rea

Which tends to be one of the pillars of refutation which opponents of homosexuality, cite, when they argue against this kind of relationship.  Though, it could be argued, the world or, rather, humans could be at greater risk of destruction through over-population of the planet, rather than under-population But it does not support the argument which postulates that one of the roles of 'having sex', is to ensure the survival of the human species.  In the very specific circumstances of its application to the LGBT communities.  This is because, at this stage of human evolution, it is not yet given to humans of the same gender to procreate, without the collaboration of a representative of the opposite gender. However, in the context of 'having sex' being perceived of as a means of providing pleasure and enjoyment for the involved participants.  Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual communities, are clearly able to realise this purpose

'It truly is never done until it is done, because, even with the best plan, fate and how it is implemented, can have crucial impact on its success or failure.' A Massive Congratulation to Team Ferrari and Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel , for making it to P.1 and P.4, in what transpired to have been a very eventful and thrilling United States Grand Prix.  A Big Congratulation also, to Team Red Bull and Max Verstappen, for making it to P.2 , at one end of the spectrum.   But having also suffered the poignancy of having the unfortunate Daniel Ricciardo, yet again, being forced into a premature end to his race.   When he was smitten by another too frequent car failure, several laps after he was involved in another 'Vettelarian car spin', shortly after the race began. A Big Congratulation, as well, to Team Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Botas , for making it P.3 and P.5. Having started the race at P.1 and P.4. Commiserations to Al

'Like death and bereavement, at times when we are experiencing what seems like 'our worse nightmares.'   We tend not to be aware of the fact that, 'our worse nightmares' are in fact no more than everyday adversities which many other people are having to contend with.' If his parents had been able to emotionally detached themselves from their son’s behaviour, and see him, not from the perspective of him being their son.  Then, Nzuri and Mfanyazaki might have, even then, recognised aspects of Kazaliwa’s transformation into becoming ‘like his victimisers’, in his behaviour.  Even though, in just a few years after, he would again change aspects of his worldview by nearly 360 degrees. But now was not the time for anymore reflection.  Having spotted his son, Mfanyazaki parked his car on the very same road that Kazaliwa's friend lived on, and quickly exited the it and purposefully made his way towards his son. Mfanyazaki had, by now

But all this does, is to increase the anticipation and uncertainties about how the actual race will transpire or be played out, today, Sunday.   Especially as Hamilton found himself in the troubling situation of having to do an additional lap on his race tires, in Q.2, having already compromised his tired with an untidy lap. All of which could suggest that all 3 top teams, Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull, and their respective drivers, racers, have everything or nearly everything to race for in Sunday's Grand Prix.  Even though the Austin Circuit, in light of the number of Formula 1 races Hamilton has won on it, could, with some justification, be called ' The Hamilton Circuit.' For now, however, A Very Big Congratulation to Team Mercedes and Hamilton, for having carved or conjured up Pole position out of Q.3.  Also  a Very Big Congratulation to Team Ferrari and Vettel and Raikonnen , for upping their performance and making it to P.2 and P.3 on the Podium

Is it that some of them might belong to the 'wrong religion', or in the 'wrong place at the wrong time?'  Whereas the Christians and other faithful who are praising their God, are supposedly more more chaste and being in the 'right place at the right time'?  Might this be one of the probable divine explanations? But, hold it a minute; explanations are not necessarily causes or true reason for an event occurring.  Or would the more rational and logical explanation puts it all down to fate, coincidence.  To the fact that Pelau, one of the Islands which makes up Indonesia, has certain geological, demographic and atmospheric features which would better account for the tragedy which has befallen it? After all, if the God of the faithful is so omnipresent and omniscient.   Then, it is not a satisfactory and sufficient explanation that the fate of the faithful, should be determined simply according their location on Planet Earth.  Th

Considering the almost effortless dominance which Team Mercedes had shown in Practice 1 and 2 of the USGP.   Very few people would have anticipated the very fierce competition which we saw, between Team Mercedes and Team Ferrari, in Saturday's Qualifying.  Yes, we had seen some indication of Team Mercedes loss of relative pace, and/or of Team Ferrari's increasing pace and competitiveness vis a vis Team Mercedes, as they overtook the latter to put in the fastest laps in P.3.  And even though Hamilton and Bottas struggled but failed to put in matching lap pace with Team Ferrari's Vettel and Kimi.   Many of us watching, expected Team Mercedes to up their performance during the Qualifying sessions, and made it to the Podium by the end of Q.3 It was not to be as we might have expected. Us watching audience, had not expected to be kept on the very edge of our seats.   As Kimi and Sebastian, laid down their markers and forced Hamilton and Bottas onto the attack.
