Holy Willickers! I've been away!
OK so I have to start this where I left off, Right? Here's my most recent musings on the state of F1...
THERE GOES THE SEASON!!! Li'l ol' Hammy makes the first big dufus mistake of his career and that sets up a finale that gives us a close-competition, "nail-biter" to the end?? I already hear some folk claiming it's a real set-up and he threw the race. One must wonder sometimes, is all this rigged and scripted like a bad "Survivor" episode, or what?? Is it a case of "ad-fraud"? (We must keep the crowds titillated, eh?) In many ways, F1 is looking more and more like the WWF to me. Its like they think they must bring sophisticated left AND right turn motorsports to the attention of the commom man. Is this the theory? If so, I say: "Why?" The common man has NASCAR, the WWF, hockey and knuckles to walk on, why confuse him with multiple dimensions? - or even a glimpse of sophistication? The common man is fine with his agricultural-message "bubba" baseball hat, beer-in-a-bottle, his .30-ought-six and lil' ol' peacemaker, and pliable as he is, why try to mess with that whole demographic? Life's fine and "mobile" in the trailer park just the way it is, leave them be, I say.
Ferrari is SO in the pocket of, no, scratch that, The FIA and MOSLEY are SO in the pocket of Ferrari, (read that as the old Italy/FIAT/National "brotherhood") back in Modena, well, what can I say? eh? So, the Ferrari whiners say something to the effect of: 'Zee documents were recognized and the alarm sounded by an "alert" clerk at an instant print agent in West London when he identified folk exchanging the papers after their printing', or something similar to this BS. I've worked in the print and ad business for more than 35 years and I've yet to meet an instant print "clerk" who's either alert, or even on this planet, (don't get me wrong, most "instant print" people ARE in fact, humanoid) nevermind having the engineering background and technical savvy to identify "at a glance" a set of F-1 specs or drawings, let alone modern print-out "crunch-numbers"... and how on earth could the clerk know the people who were "exchanging" the papers were not supposed to be doing so? Nonetheless, in this scenario, I highly doubt there's any "clerk" that'd know what they're handling, unless it was a set-up by Ferrari to "hand off stuff". A "plant"? Incredible, you say? Unbelievable, you say? Unheard of and most certainly, if this was the case, it would be absolutely unsportsmanlike and plain "Just not British"!! Well, at Ferrari, if you can't beat them, threaten, file a law suit and whine a lot. It worked when the Commendatore ran the shop and it worked when Schumacher was there and it will continue.
Hey, back in knuckle-walking land, anyone see Jacques V. in his Talledaga intro/debut? He finished better than almost half of his nay-sayers... Who cares.
Just my opinion...
