And No, that’s not for S**T! But my OH, so Clever
slang for Saudi Arabia and Saint Pete…
It’s Funny how your tastes & priorities
change over your lifetime. Since as of this past Thursday, I was still
undecided on whether or not I wanted to “waste” my time “watching”, Err
listening to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Saturday morning before the live
airing of Indy Cars St Pete Qualifying. Especially since they “butted” up
against each other…
As I still cannot adequately explain why it was
completely Fantasmic when Der Terminator’, nee Michael Schumacher was crushing
the opposition weekly at la Scuderia, ergo Ferrari! But now, I don’t have the
time, interest or patience to witness MaxiMillions similar domination of the
sport I once so cherished.
As I must say, I feel somewhat like Grizzled F1
Journo’ Joe Saward’s feeling “Dirty” over the Bahrain GP weekend. And I find
the whole Horner Gate affair to be rather Sleezy! Which has done nothing more
than turn me “Off” even further towards thee Pinnicle of Motorsports, nee
Formula 1!
And thus, with a certain precocious Chihuahua
fondly known as Hang 10’ Hilo here upon No Fenders, and in My Heart! Who
surprisingly showed up on my Doorstep unexpectedly over a week ago! Not to
mention Verstappen’s utter domination of the field in Bahrain with a 23-second
Whitewashing! Well, Y’all can probably guess which way I was leaning, Eh?
Whilst I cannot say I’m overly surprised also
by the ongoing investigations regarding FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. For
which I’d simply say that there’s multiple Power Struggles occurring in F1,
which has always been it’s nature! Since what was ‘Ol Uncle Bernaughty’s maxim?
Oh Yeah, Divide and Conquer!
Since obviously certain elements wish to see
the removal of ye Pied Piper Chrstian Horner and Messer Ben Sulayem! Which
perhaps is All a concerted power vacuum of Liberty Media to completely control
the sport and spice up the Show? Since Fernando Alonso’s Quip Hits the mark the
best. Saying F1 is Dull On track and needs the scandals off-track, or something
to that effect…
At the last moment, albeit the “Universe” told
me in Spades I shouldn’t be trying to “watch”, Err listen to the Grand Prix. I
opted to switch on, mostly because I was curious how 18yr old teenager Oliver
Bearman would do as Carlo Sainz Jr’s replacement.
Yet with Catherine “babysitting” me thru my
Open Heart surgery recovery’s convalescence, who wanted to run a load of
laundry during the Grand Prix, albeit promising to close the laundry room’s
door…
Preceded by the telephone obnoxiously ringing
during the F1 Broadcast. And with MaxiMillions leading again and disappearing
off into the sunset, Err Moon’s rising underneath the floodlit race track. I
simply elected to switch off Thy Telie’ with more than halfway left to go.
Although I did snort over the F1 Pundit whom proclaimed Eat, Sleep, Win again
when calling Verstappen over the line first to the Chequered Flag once again,
yawn! Upon later watching the F1 race Highlights package.
Thus Ollie’ Berman had just moved up to ninth
place when I switched off, with the Englishman being either the twelfth or
fourteenth English F1 driver to race for la Scuderia, nee Ferrari – depending
on whom you believe? Did an excellent job by finishing a credible seventh
deputizing for Sainz Jnr, who’d had emergency Appendicitis surgery over the
weekend. With both Carlo Sainz and Berman’s father being shown standing
together in the Ferrari garage during the race.
Although Arse-sumedly Bearman will go back to
His “Day Job” of racing for Prema Racing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship,
where He’s a multiple race winner. Whilst Sainz Junior returns to His Ferrari
cockpit Down Under in bloody Melbourne…
The other point of interest for me is the
raging battle Heating up between the two Racing Bulls drivers. As I’d expected
DannyRic’ to be waxing Yuki Tsunoda. But the Japanese driver has outqualified
Daniel Ricciardo 2-0 I believe. With the duo being tied 1-1 on race results.
With the Bahrain GP’s results being engineered by Racing Bulls, when Tsunoda
resentfully pulled over to let Ricciardo by for P13. Before the Japanese driver
gave Daniel the Irvine “swerve” during the races Cooldown lap!
As DannyRic’ needs to pick up the pace to give
His Dream of returning to Red Bull next year any Hope!
Thus I just eagerly awaited IndyCar Qualifying
from ST Pete instead. Although my new “Vilan” Josef Newgarden captured His
first Pole position since Belle Isle, 2022. And the 17th of His career, BOO!
Hey, what did the late Robin Miller say about “Hate is Good!” As I’ve gotta have somebody to root againxt now that Hulio’s effevtively out of the picture…
