This is the Statt Mann Baby. It's time to Scatt a little bit!
More proof this weekend that races aren't over until they're over.
In case you missed it, the Canadian Grand Prix came down to the last few turns of the last lap. Defending World Champion and current points leader Sebastien Vettel was on his way to victory when he lost control briefly on a wet track. That slide allowed Jenson Button to pass and continue on to the unexpected victory.
It was so quick you wouldn't have noticed if you turned away to high five someone to celebrate Vettel's win. He'd been leading the entire race that was delayed by a driving rain storm in Montreal.
Third was Vettel's teammate Mark Webber who had to overcome his own issues early in the rain when he collided with McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton, in fact, is the center of criticism by two former World Champions Niki Lauda and Emerson Fittipaldi. Both suggest that Hamilton's driving style should be reigned in by F1 officials. Lauda even suggesting that someone might die unless Hamilton is censured in some way.
It was a dramatic race with plot changes throughout the event. In fact, the surprise finish at the Le Mans 24 Hour had similar drama. Audi lost two of its three entries to violent crashes. The third car, though, held on to beat the best offered by the rival Peugeot team.
You know it's never over 'til it's over. But this weekend that was proven on separate continents in different disciplines. The human drama of athletic competition is why you should pay attention to motor racing whether you're a fan or not.
Peace.
