And will What Happens this weekend stay in Vegas?
We’re getting very close to crowning the driver
whose list of nicknames keeps growing for Mwah World champion again, Sigh…
As His latest moniker that popped into my head
when scribbling’ this, was Max Blunderhead following His Bumper-car antics! As
I thought I was watchin’ a Grand Prix, not a RASCAR race!
Thus, The Beatles Bang Bang Maxwell Silver
Hammer has subsequently come Ah-Screamin’ upon my mental Jukebox…
Obviously, the Mexican Grand Prix feels like it
was so long ago. And I really don’t have a lot to say about it. Other than Max
Verstappen was simply driving Deranged vs. His title rival Lando Norris. With
the strange bit being they’re good friends off track. Or at least they were up
until lately. Since I believe I saw a headline claiming that Ralf Schumacher
says they’re no longer friends…
The ruthlessness of Max is cranked up to 11
right now against title rival Lando. And it reminds me of my past “Hero”
Michael Schumacher’s driving aggression!
But I have to agree with former Jordan Grand
Prix racecar designer Gary Anderson. That Max is tarnishing His reputation as a
driver by continuing to be more ‘n more overly aggressive! And exploiting every
loophole or gray area He can conceivably get away with!
As Max knew His car wasn’t good enough in
Mexico city to win. So He simply went into defense by focusing All of His
energy into not letting Norris win or get ahead of Him. And by holding up Lando
until serving His rightly deserved two 10 second penalties. Effectively kept
Lando from gaining an extra seven points…
Whilst 1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill’s blunt
assessment was the best so far. Saying Max was driving like Dick Dastardly at
Mexico City, Ole!
And that’s my two pesos worth on the Mexico
City Grand Prix. Which Max then followed up with an exquisite drive in the rain
at Interlagos!
Although I missed the first ten-plus laps,
since the start was moved forwards while we were busy falling back one hour, Oh
Never Mind! Starting an uncharacteristic P17 due to a poor qualifying session
and a five place grid penalty for an engine change. Uhm, I guess it was just a
component of the Power Unit (PU) and not a complete PU change, but I digress…
Verstappen went from 17th to either 12th or
11th by the first lap or two! And proceeded to make clean pass after pass while
steadily marching forwards!
As we know that Max made the ultimate statement
by winning at Sao Paolo in the rain by nearly 20 seconds in what was an amazing
display of driving! For which I most took away eventual runner-up Esteban
Ocon’s comment.
Paraphrasing, Ocon said He’d simply marveled
over not comprehending how Max could brake that much later in the rain and not
crash off-track when passing Him for the win. With Oscar Piastri also similarly
dazzled by Max’s wet weather driving. Saying Verstappen was the only person who
could pass drivers…
As I was suitably impressed with Verstappen’s
win. Before He had to be churlish and turn into Max Blunderhead afterwards.
When taking His sniveling swipe at the British media and Damon Hill in
particular, when asking where had All of the vaunted British Press gone?
Bang
Bang Maxwell silver Hammer came Down on His Head. Bang Bang Maxwell Made Sure…

Hence, I suppose many will be staying up into
the Wee hours to see which Max shows up in Las Vegas. Which hopefully will have
secured All of the Manhole covers and their surrounds this year!
