Formula 1: Gods and Men

The fourteenth match of the year, the one thousand and seventieth (1070) in absolute terms, took place on Sunday 08/28/2022 at Belgian circuit Spa-Francorchamps.

Everyone except the British described Max Verstappen’s performance in the Belgian race as coming from another planet. Most of the words belong to people from Ferrari and Perez. Both come from a selfish thought: “If the Dutchman and his car are out of competition, our failures are justified.” Leclerc again avoids Binotto due to his now comical actions, Sainz hides his mediocrity, and Pérez softens the blow by taking second place, 18 seconds behind first place, in the same supercar. Unless it’s the same car. With the exception of the top two in the league, the German team is systematically working to get back into a competitive position with Red Bull, with other teams busy with transfers and gossip and organizing their internal and administrative affairs. mechanisms. The difference from the three pioneers is so great that the only hope for difference is rain and abandonment. Everything is clear and detailed. Individuals and groups, acting consciously or unconsciously and according to their needs, become part of a typical movement mechanism with the sole purpose of maintaining their existence. Communal justifications and banal self-referential explanations pave the way for mortal ‘closeness’.

The right balance of aerodynamic support and engine power is the key to a successful racing car. Clear strategic pursuit and effective tactics to achieve it are what every race requires. The driver who can embody, that is, synthesize the above-mentioned essential elements in the body in interaction with the mechanics of the race, will be the person who will bring victory to the team. This is, was and will be a tripartite trinity of one and only substance called Formula 1. God is the head, the son is the doer, and the Holy Spirit is the planner. Fortunately, no rational being can ever – even for a short time – successfully combine the three hypostases in his own personality to form what is often exaggeratedly called divine. Fazio, Lauda, ​​Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton – the “gods” of formula 1 – embodied in a human way – and partly ideally – the experience of the above essence. If someone outside of this world is driving a car, only he himself will see him. The rest will have more serious affairs.

Perez needs to improve his performance, if, of course, Red Bull will give him the right car and if he can improve it. Saint must initially become a better driver than his teammate. Leclerc needs to give credit to Binotto, and not blame himself for everything. And Binotto must start some other work. On the final lap, he collided with Leclerc to give him a one-point chance for the fastest lap when he was 18 seconds ahead of Alonso, with an average pit stop time at the SPA of 22 seconds. Jumping onto the track, he was forced to overtake Alonso and was penalized 5 seconds for incorrect speed in the pit lane. He dropped to sixth place, losing two more points. Probably Binotto from another planet, shamelessly justifying his actions as the right ones in the context of the risk that one has to take in Formula One. Arrogance and confusion.
