As does it really matter what an aging Blogger
thinks Anyways? And how many Stateside watched the Monaco Grand Prix?
Having spent an entire day traveling back
westwards from "Circle City," nee Indianapolis to Warshington' on Tuesday
following the race, seated next to a seven months old SCREAMING Baby Girl! Uhm,
this AIN'T Duh "Friendly Skies," Y'all; but I digress...
Having been Sweatin' Away in Indianapolis and
100% ensconced in Indy Cars, and with none of the Hosers' from Up North Eh!
Attending the Indy 500 this year, Thar' weren't NO impetus for tuning Dave's
Telie' towards undoubtedly another ABYSMAL ESPN TV Broadcast of the Monaco
Grand Prix.
Thus I had ZERO inkling over who'd won in
thee Principality? Before finally, reluctantly deciding I'd better try finding
out via my NFB Newsline for The Blind telephone service late Tuesday evening.
And while F1 Grizzled Journo Joe Saward's
prattled on 'N on 'bout there being no
such thing as Boring Formula 1 races... Nonetheless rightly or wrongly, I'd
surmise that the only Driver in poundin' round Monte Carlo that Sunday who
didn't find it to be a Snooze-fest was Danny Ric', aka Daniel Ricky' Ricciardo.
But what I found most Karmic, or ironic, was
that arguably two of Memorial Day weekend's Biggest races had been swept by
Aussies', albeit I didn't know that at the time whilst baking in the Sun during
Will Power's victory lap, for which I totally delighted in his exuberance over
having finally won the "big One!"
As I heard
"DJ WillyP" say somewheres, think it was the cool-down lap? About how
he could now say how nice it was hearing Fans previously say "You
Suck!"
While reading thru
the lines of Jeffie's One Lap Down race report, Power was heard screaming over
the In-car radio upon crossing the stripe: "Show Me some Respect Mother
Fuckers!"
And while I'd probably been quick to lament
Monaco's race as Boring, I too now realize with some gentle prodding from
Messer Saward that Ricciardo drove a Brilliant race, which actually was quite
gripping due to his Power Unit problems costing him 25% engine power for over
half distance!
As not only should ricciardo's drive bring
memories of Herr Schumacher doing so summarily stuck in 5th gear for the
majority of the 1994 Spanish Grand Prix, including Pit-stops, but masterfully
finishing second Overall.
But it also makes me recall Fernando Alonso's
masterful drive at San Marino where he kept Michael Schumacher's Ferrari
bottled-up behind him the entire race en route to victory for le Reggie', much
to my Disdain...
As Danny Ric's gotta be the Hottest Driver on the
Formula 1 Grid right now, which means Red Bull's gonna need to either Show Him
the Money! Or watch one of their two rivals scoop him up next year...
