In the realm of the ephemeral, Big prize of luxury Ferrari SF-23 Of Leclerc, which comes within a whisker of the big shot. I’m obviously talking about Las Vegas, one of the most unlikely and absurd places on Earth, and therefore worth visiting at least once in your life. Possibly without playing it, because people like me have short arms of Ligurian origin and losing money would be like a stab.
The last time I tried to play roulette I was on a cruise with my class (we of Nautical Of Carloforte the fifth year we go on a cruise, can you believe it!) and in the ship’s gaming room (it was called East Express but it had little of the famous train) I bet 20 thousand lire. Which obviously I lost. In fact, what is no less important, people like me see luck through a telescope. So see but don’t play. No slot machines. And remember: the house always wins. Like the Red Bull 2023 edition.
You can come close, cherish the dream of a victory, out of 23 “bets” on the wheel you don’t even know how to win one, but they always win. Especially that, that is Mad Max the Third. Yet, it is only there Ferrari has demerited. For once she fought almost on equal terms with the spaceship of flying cans. Probably thanks to the circuit and also to a greater understanding of the cars and their monstrous limits. There would really be something to worry about, moreover, if, at the end of the World Cup, they still hadn’t understood it, which seems to be happening at home instead. Mercedes.
Speaking of Mercedesacrobatic and bizarre declarations of the Totone Austrian on what happened in FP1: the manhole that pops like a sparkling wine cork that could have cost Sainz much more than a half-destroyed car classified as a nuisance, pettiness. About the senselessness, rigidity, stupidity of what was decided by FIA, I repeat what I wrote a few articles ago. If the problem occurred at Red Bull o Mercedesrest assured that they would have found the exemption to avoid unfairly penalizing the driver and team.
However, to close the discussion, what he writes is valid Terrazzo in his report cards on the crime in question: “Rating 1 for Formula 1. The manhole-Sainz case is a very serious precedent. For the first time the event surpasses the race. Self Carlos had he been fighting for the title? A shame. The pilots? Shut up everyone. The team principals? Silent or almost. It’s a shame because it was a question of principle. Boo”.
I don’t know if he hesitates Karma, I am more attached, being very provincial (and I’m proud of it), to our local literary culture. I believe in Dante’s retaliation. Here, so I’d like that Mercedes arrived behind the Ferrariafter having said “niet”, while all the other teams agreed, to the idea of the exemption on 55 Of Sainz. There is still one race and a gap of just 4 points to try.
Of course, it would be a very poor satisfaction to come second behind the sidereal war machine of New (see manufacturers ranking). But, however miserable, it would be worth a certain satisfaction against “those over there” (Marchionne dixit). Let’s put it this way: if the Mercedes comes third, we could award her the special “bronze manhole” prize. I think it’s perfect, right?
Gp Las Vegas 2023: Ferrari SF-23 “stopped” by the FIA
Perez. Rating: Repetita: may God always keep him like this for us.
Verstappen. Voto: 8 1/2. Max It’s not exactly a soft rider. And as soon as he sees that his Red Bull it’s not at its best, it goes back to being a bit more aggressive to “mark” the territory.
Leclerc. Vote: 10. In the strange world of social media there are those who question this. Yet all he needs to do is have a slightly decent car, and here is masterful driving, pole position, memorable overtaking.
Sainz. Vote: 7. It’s a big blow to be relegated from the front row to twelfth place due to a manhole cover. And he was right to complain forcefully. In the race perhaps he could have been more incisive.
Vasseur’s statements on the “manhole cover”. Rating: sacrosanct but useless. If those are not followed by actions and facts like, in fact, they are not followed.
Statements from Max vs FIA-F1. Rating: commendable. We have to look with ever greater admiration at the fact that in Circus he is practically the only one with a minimum of reasonableness, respect for the “DNA” of the sport in which he competes, absence of hypocrisy and clarity of thought. Extremely rare merchandise in F1 of today. Many young (and very talented) pilots, very few men.
Toto Wolff’s statements on the accident that occurred in Sainz. Rating: he has a manhole cover instead of a heart.
Political weight of the Ferrari team. Rating: 00 flour. That is to say: impalpable.
President and CEO of Ferrari. Rating: same as above. As soon as they smelled that the Ferrari could have made the coup they rushed to Las Vegas. It was the right opportunity, perhaps with a word, a declaration, a joke to support the team. But, as usual, in return we had the usual sidereal silence.
Maybe things are being discussed in secret rooms, who knows… but I’m not very optimistic about it. It’s been years since you got something positive and visible, apart from the annual allowance for your name Ferrari. And it’s certainly not a small thing. But you can really sell your soul if your name is, in fact, Ferrari?
Combined arranged FIA-F1. Rating: the worst possible.
Las Vegas Circuit. Rating: 6. Nothing special, but you can have fun.
Narration imposed by Liberty Media with a compliant press. Rating: surreal.
Come on, guys, there’s only one race left and then we’ll get this horrible world championship out of the way… Strength and courage!
