Well, it was a good Sunday of racing - F1 GP of Turkey, Indy 500, and the Nascar Charlotte 600.
F1
Ok, now you and your teammate are running 1 and 2 with your main rivals closing in and running 3 and 4. Not, that any teammates in F1 would ever feel a rivalry with one another, no egos involved, no not here. Webber is conserving fuel which allows Seb to close in on him and also for Lewis and Jenson to close in as well. Seb says hell, why not get around my teammate and go for the glory - never mind that Webber is one of the hardest guys to pass and is known to give no ground, but, what the heck, he is my good friend and teammate...just go for it...
c' est la vie...
Indy
I don't know, it is classic, but it is a bit boring these days...going around in circles...but, as with NASCAR, these guys are on the edge at all times...Dario Franchitti (the Scot) won for the second time...avoiding one big crack-up and coming in on fumes...
NASCAR
Ever try to find some NASCAR video to embed - betcha can't...this is one tightly controlled enterprise, the only video you find is NASCAR's...and it is Adobe Flash, no embed possible...OK, so be it.
I recently stumbled across Taladega Nights on the tele...and just happened to see the following scene...I had no idea this was part of the story line...funny shit...
enjoy!
"You Formula One, Jazz lovin nut job."
ReplyDeleteHad me laughing.
Was that offensive saxophone a bit of John Coltrane?
That was a crazy incident at the Turkey GP resulting in Mclaren moving ahead of Red Bull in the constructors points.
ReplyDeleteMy take is that being a Racer Jenson was justified to go for the win by virtue of having conserved a laps more fuel then Weber. There were no team orders for JB to hold position. You got the impression that MW would rather obstruct and crash then concede.
Weber just held his line...no way Vettel could make the turn on the inside without Weber moving over, Vettel seemed to think that Weber would just move over for him, he should have known better...Vettel is young and gung ho - none of the top drivers would have moved over and conceded their position...
ReplyDeletePOINT WELL TAKEN
ReplyDeleteI DID GET JB MIXED WITH VETTEL.
HIS CAR DID SEEM TO TAKE A BIT OF AN ABRUPT MOVE INTO MW.
