Disturbed as most of the rest of the motorsportinglingly inclined world no doubt is (apart, perhaps, from those frothing their leather walking shortzen at the impending return of Schumacher the Elder) by Spanky’s enthusiastic thrusting forward of He Who Believeth Not In Racing to take the FIA in an ever more reptilian direction, I am offering the following Microsoft Paint’d logoway (Bike Snob NYC is too good not to steal from) to the Ari Vatinen campaign.

Besides, Shorty the French would no doubt cramp the diminutive style of Shorty the Mad Brit in the gnome stakes. So it just wouldnt work.

According to Pitpass, Luca de Montezemolo was waving goodbye to Spanky,

when Spanky decided to get cross again,

and now, like an evil, elderley Mary Poppins,

moselypoppins

is threatening to not give up his post in October.

Gosh. Who couldve seen that coming? As it were.

Again – Please Spanky. Go Away.

Pitpass is reporting that Chuckles, here…

…will be sodding the heck off at re-election time in October.

I can only assume that he has taken a look at my previous post and has decided that, well, it’s just not worth it. Then again, maybe something else gave him the message…

Which is all good, but Im not 100% convinced. He’s trotted out the same line before and that turned out to be a pile of, ah, cobblers.

Ube crossed ’till Jyugatsu!

I have avoided using profanity in either of my blogs, because when written, it seems a cheap way of getting your point across. That said, the antics, blathering, arrogance, bullying, manipulation and jerk-headedness of Max Mosley over the past few years have reduced me to violent fits of Tourette’s like carry-on behind the keyboard more and more frequently.

For some informed commentary, Joe Saward’s excellent blog and Pitpass are worth a visit.

Lest I conclude a post without pictures…

First he partied with the leydies…

Woohoo! Go Spanky!

Then he got angry. Grrr.

Then he got shouty and pointy. Which really hasnt helped anybody.

Hopefully tomorrow I can post that he is gone. But probably not.

So, Max – Go Away. Please.

All day I didnt want to sucker myself by thinking that the American public hadnt dropped the ball (so to speak). After all, Bush the Minor got back in ‘owt 4. But no! Nice one Americans! Nothing but net (as it were)!

I pinched the b ball theme from Supertouch, who also posted a fine interview with Shepherd Fairey this week.

Sunday was a little similar, not quite prepared to believe that McLaren had their first drivers championship since ’99. The race was a nailbiter enough, but who really could be totally confident that the FIA wouldnt find some bollocks to penalise Lewis Hamilton and hand the tltle to a Ferrari driver? Im sure they wouldnt mind which one. And even if Glock had slowed purposely, the points lost in the Spa debacle had been returned, so the right driver won. Although I think a hell of a lot more of Massa now. He can win next time. I dont mind.

Similar again was the IRL not so long ago with memories of ’07s strategic masterstroke. IRL races are at really antisocial times when you are in Japan. Apart from Motegi… I couldnt continue my photos of the potentially embarassing past theme in my Google search for Scott Dixon & am scannerless right now, so settled for this masterpiece. Publicists aye?

Omedeto Gozai Masu lads!

Hopefully I’ll be posting a photo of the 23 car after Fuji on Sunday. First Super GT race for me. Quite a month this is!
