a helmet is not enough

A red helmet is not enough Michael. You also need a red car for a win .

Lewis Hamilton, the arrogant self worshipper, has spoken again...

Now he thinks he is the "leader of the team." Great way to go Lewis, I am sure you have all the experience needed to lead a top Formula 1 team after your maiden year in F1, which ended disastrously when you accidentally put your car on third gear, sitting a superior car, built on stolen Ferrari information. http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_3005402,00.html

What a week in sports

It is not usual that the teams I support win on the same weekend. This weekend was different, and I hope my luck goes into the week to. On Saturday Besiktas scored an important victory away to Trabzonspor, the so-called 4th Giant of Turkish football. After conceding 2 very stupid goals in 6 minutes, every one was fearing for the worst. However Ziya Dogan, the trainer of Trabzon, made some very important tactical mistakes, and we were able to comeback in 20 minutes. We dictated our game and found the winning goal in 70th minute. Due to a clear error of judgment by the linesman our goal keeper was sent of on 80th minute. As we had used our 3 subs, the goalscorer Bobo had to play as the goalie for the last 10 minutes. After his perfect performance we won the game. It is not the first big game we won without a goalie. We had won in Fenerbahce stadium 4-3 in 2004 without a goalie too. On Sunday the most unlikely of the outcomes did take place and Kimi Raikkonnen won the 2007 Drivers Cha...

Moment of truth closing in Stepneygate (UPDATED) ...

In what will surely be remembered as the most controversial decision ever given by FIA, the governing body of F-1 , will decide today on the future of McLaren Mercedes Team, who were found guilty earlier of industrial spying but not punished due to lack of evidence. In recently obtained e-mail exchanges between Fernando Alonso and the test driver Pedro de la Rosa, there are hard-to-deny evidence that McLaren Mercedes Team had access to secret Ferrari information and were testing them on their cars. McLaren Mercedes will again try to defend (!!!) itself on the lines that there is no evidence that these information were used in races, which I find totally unacceptable. The case involves a close cooperation between the head designer of McLaren Mercedes, Mike Coughlan, and Ferrari's now sacked head of development Nigel Stepney, and it is utterly stupid to think that these information were not used for increasing McLaren's competitive advantage. I am eager to see if principles wi...

Notes from the weekend or is Dylan a Cylon?

I watched the 3. season finale of Battlestar Galactica. I am not into series so I cannot compare it to other season finales, but as an episode from a science fiction series shown on free tv, I have to say it was a masterpiece, both in terms of the dialogues, the story, the editing, the music... Lee Adama gave a speech on the trial of Dr. Gaius Balatar, a populist scientist turned politician who lead the fleet to settle down on New Caprica, only to be occupied by the Cylons, and was the head of the puppet government on New Caprica, about innocence, guilt, and clemency and justice which would not be off the story on great trial movies such as Nurnberg Trials or A Few Good Man. Bear Mc Creary, the composer behind the great music in Battlestar, arranged Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" in a very eerie way, which was heard only by the remaining 4 Cylons in the fleet. Before discovering their true identities the Cylons used lyrics from this great song: There must be some wa...
