Nooooooooo! My eyes!!!! Please someone, pass me bleach to wash my eyes out or post some nude Helen Thomas pics as an antidote.

Damn you.

OK, kidding. But that guy just looks sleazy creepy. An experiment in hedonism gone horribly wrong. Makes me worry about *my* future.

WOW! Just saw Hamilton being interviwed by the BBC after the race about the penalties he received this weekend, and when the reporter asked “why he was repeatedly cited be the stewards” he pulled the race (as in ethnicity) card and said “maybe because I’m black”! OK, he was making a bit of a joke it seemed but it did look like he’s got a chip on his shoulder there.

That was a very accurate description of my own feelings, although I was instead a huge Senna fan.

Just can’t get into it, even thought I do tune in from time to time.

Austin GP already in trouble???

Austin council could scupper 2012 US Grand Prix
ESPNF1 Staff
June 8, 2011

According to local Kxan news, council members learned this week that they must sign off as the “endorsing municipality” in order for race organisers to access the $25 million per year promised by the Texas government. That will involve the City of Austin contributing $4 million to the Major Events Trust Fund.

“There is a distinct possibility that if this process doesn’t work, that the project and the 1000 people that are working right now, their jobs could be in jeopardy and the event could be in jeopardy,” Suttle said.

There is no guarantee the Austin council members will play ball. “Apparently there is no plan B,” said one member. “I think that is an interesting assumption to make that something like that is going to be approved.”

I’m not surprised. I long suspected this was a Bernie shakedown for money, and then at the end he’d just say “Sorry, your track isn’t up to standards” and walk away with everybody’s money. Bernie likes having races in the Middle East because they are just as crooked as he is.
