Otay Kiddoes', it's that time 'O year again. NO!
Not when Ed McMahon comes ‘n visits Y’all with that Publishers Clearing House
envelope…
But instead when Tomaso caps off another long,
meandering year's storytelling from thoust Isle of Nofendersville with my Zany
Year’s end Overall Winners selections. Where the Nights are
long and the Days spent type-type-typing Away Way too Mucho on thoust Keyboard!
Alas, Once again it’s another long form No Fenders Two part Harmony, Err meandering
prose for your consideration
As Here goes
Nothin', with another Bevy 'O totally Un-Scientific, Zany Random Off Ye Cuff
selections made below…
CATEGORIES
Rider of The Year, Sports Car Drivers of The Year, Freak of The Year and
Quip of The Year
6. Rider of Year
Winner: Enea Bastianiniex
Although the simple choice would be thee
Martinator’, nee Jorge Martin. I’m going with “The Beast!” instead.
As Bastianini,
who was dropped by Ducati Corse in order to make way for the incoming Marc
Marquez never gave up fighting! As I was rootin’ for Him to finish third
overall ahead of ye Pinball Wizard…
Bastianini won two races this year, but
couldn’t hold off Marquez in the season finale and had to settle for fourth
overall. But fought tooth ‘n nails down to the final race! As I just really
enjoyed His no holds barred mentality this season. Especially since who knows
if He’ll be able to win a race for KTM?
Other
Choices
Jorge Martin, Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez
7. Sports Car Drivers of Year
Winner: Dane Cameron and Felipe Nasr
This is a bittersweet choice, since Dane
Cameron got the boot after winning His fourth IMSA Championship! As I don’t
know why Penske felt motivated to drop this perennial championship winner?
While keeping teammate and co-driver Felipe Nasr who won His third IMSA
Prototypes title.
Although Cameron has landed a full season ride
piloting Spike-the-Dragon aboard AO Racing’s Oreca LMP2 purple ‘n orange
Dragon…
Other
Choices
Renger van der Zande, Nick Tandy, Ricky Taylor and
I suppose Rodney Sandstorm, Eh?
8. Freak of Year
Winner: Max Verstappen
How can I not choose Max Blunderhead’ for this
award, especially after being referred to as Dick dastardly!
As MaxiMillions’ has never been shy of using
His racecar as a weapon! As I’m sure Maximus’
Hothead lost His temper at more than one race. But with 24 Grands Prix
and probably only tuning into a third of them? Its hard remembering where All
Max has been naughty!
Although I did totally enjoy His telling the
FIA to Bugger Off! Over His using the “ Rated” F-word in a press conference,
Bad, Bad, Max, Hya!
http://www.nofenders.net/2024/09/f1-max-tells-fia-to-bugger-off.html
Not to mention calling George Russell two Faced
and allegedly threatening to put the Englishman in the F$$KING Wall upon His
Head!
As that’s just some of Max’s Freakish moments I
can recall…
9. Quips of Year
Winners
“If my Mum had Balls, She’d be my Dad!”
That was the hilarious, sardonic leave me alone
quip from Max Verstappen during the Miami Grand Prix post-race press
conference. As the Media was hounding Max over whether or not the Safety Car
had influenced the race? After peppering Him about His reported floor damage.
After He’d kerb-hopped a chicane and wiped out the bollard! To which Verstappen
claimed He hadn’t felt the car was any different. Before sarcastically saying
He’d wanted to crash test the front wing by getting rid of the bollard…
Yet the Media wouldn’t relent with Max saying
it’s always if, if, if? To which He brilliantly pointed out how His Mum could
have been His Dad!
“Yapping little Terrier”
Der Crying wolff lands a Good One at Yas Isle!
Where Mercedes GP Boss toto Wolff hilariously, and I’d say rightly pigeon-holed
whom I’ve been calling the “Pied Piper” of F1 for years. Ergo Christian Horner,
Boss of Red Bull Racing and Toto’s biggest adversary…
As the pair were sparring over their drivers
Max and George Russell exchanging “pleasantries’ in the Steward’s office,
Zoinks!
Honourable
Mention
“Dick dastardly”
1996 F1 World champion Damon Hill calls out Max
Verstappen and His ruthless, over-the-top aggressive driving antics during the Mexico
City Grand Prix. Claiming that Max was driving like Dick Dastardly!
As that's a Wrap
for the Year 2024 Kiddoe's, as it's been a really long year. Err, Uhm, Oh Yeah,
Ah blast as always…
Arrivederci
Tomaso
