“Mark my words, it is quite possible that [...]

Does Lewis Hamilton deserve the championship?

Written by Michael Vass
Lewis Hamilton did not win the Formula One championship. Or will he? The final race in Brazil ended with Hamilton in 7th place, much to the dismay of many fans. But as in most auto races there was a controversy.
In this case it seems that the 4th, 5th, and 6th place cars [...]

Sir Jackie Stewart comments on Lewis Hamilton

Written by Michael Vass
There are few things in life as good as getting the endorsement and recognition of the recognized and lauded top of an industry. To have say, Bill Gates mention that so and so is up and coming, or Warren Buffett mentioning his admiration of a broker. This is also true of sports, [...]

Global warming vs NASCAR and Auto racing

Submitted from Black Entertainment USA
Recently I was writing the post for Presidential Race Blog about the upcoming Republican presidential debate and I noticed something on TV.

Have you noticed Lewis Hamilton

On Thursday of last week, test runs were done to check the [...]
