Here we can see some very expert photography from this weekend’s Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix.
It has always been, and remains to this very day, my contention that Formula One Grand Prix racing is the greatest human spectacle that can be produced in the name of Sport, or any other human endeavor for that matter.
The launch of a standing start Formula One Grand Prix race is near enough and then some to the launch of an Apollo or Saturn Rocket that is the prerequisite for sending men and machines out of our earth’s atmosphere.
Everything involvingFormula One. the men, the drivers, the technology, the international participation on behalf of teams and drivers, notwithstanding the enormous commercial interests that are integral to this Sport world wide Grand Prix competition, recommend it for my taste an experience like no other form of human endeavor. Perhaps the actual launching of the Space capsules begins to approximate the sound and fury, but in such cases they are focused on only one primary vehicle, without the introduction of human competitive juices and all encompassing desires to win decisively while spread across a zone of incalculable risk and God given skill.
May This Race In Malaysia TOMORROW BE RUN SAFELY AND COMPETITIVELY.
AMEN.
