Formula One: Alberta Park

Apparently Hispania Racing Team failed to Qualify and will not start at Albert Park.

“Ooo, our Drag Reduction System isn’t working and the Power Steering is out.”

Pobrecitos.

So only Marussia (Virgin) will be flying the Cosworth flag which I’d be more disappointed about if Cosworth were any good.  Renault and Mercedes are the plants of choice if you care about contending and like any Billionaire Boy Toy if you’re not going to spend the money to stay at the table you should get out of the game.  Sympathy for the not Yankees is misguided; professional sports isn’t a money making enterprise, it’s showing off, and if your penis isn’t large enough to cash the checks your trash mouth signs you deserve the pointing and hooting in the sauna.

Red Bull is showing vincibility which is a pleasant anomally and Scuderia Marlboro UPC continues to suck which is simple justice for both those union busting scabs.

Speed will be re-broadcasting @ 2 pm today and noon on Tuesday.

A surprising (and pretty) table below that will probably become all too familiar.

  9. Red Bull and McLaren with Red Bull not as dominant.  Scuderia Marlboro UPC falling out of contention and back in the pack with Mercedes and Renault.

    Also, too.
