38. post. Juan Pablo i Jacques - evo ih opet!
|
Dva najveća lajavca Formule 1 posljednjih desetak i više godina, opet su se oglasila. Montoya, naravno, nije odolio prokomentirati Mosleyev skandalčić i kaže da je oduševljen (tko nije?). "I was so shocked by it, when they sent (the video) to me, I was like 'no way.' Now, I'm just like 'Hey, he's just an old guy trying to have some fun'. I loved that. I did. It is a laughing matter! You know, when I first heard about it, it was shocking. But then he decided to play it like nothing has happened and it's just so hilarious." Bravo, Juan Pablo. Potpuno se slažem. Posljednjih dana svi su graknuli na Mosleya kao da je, u najmanju ruku, bacio nuklearnu bombu na Englesku. Odjednom su svi moralne veličine, puritanci, čistunci i ne znam koju još riječ da upotrijebim. Zapravo, sve ono što je Max glumio prošle godine iživljavajući se nad McLarenom. Pitanje u svim medijima je "Can he survive?" Mosley se pravda izjavama da je to njegova privatna stvar koja nema veze s njegovim poslom i da nije učinio ništa strašno kao npr. vozio pijan. "I believe that twenty first century adults do not worry about private sexual matters as long as they are legal and harmless." To je, naravno, istina i njegov privatni život je samo to - privatni život, ali zar nije prostitucija još uvijek ilegalna? Malo sam zbunjena i sve se bojim da će Max partiti u mirovinu prije nego što je to planirao. Jedan od najboljih komentara skandala dao je Vijay Mallya, vlasnik Force Indije: "A hard-nosed businessman will make a decision on spending money in Formula One, irrespective of the Mosleys of this world. They are not going to dictate the economic benefits. It is very clear Formula One in general is a huge advertising platform because of the number of eyes viewing the TV, second only to the Olympics and the World Cup. As a businessman, I have used Formula One as a platform for the past 12 years, and now other businesses can use Force India as their platform to reach out. That is not going to be affected by Mosley or anybody else. I've my sponsors and they don't care. They don't really know who Mosley is and don't care who he is!" Money makes the world go around, uvijek je tako bilo i bit će. Nečiji džep na kraju će odlučiti i o Mosleyevoj sudbini. Drugi lajavac iz naslova posta je Jacques Villeneuve koji se svako malo oglasi svojim komentarima trenutne F1 situacije, a sad se osvrnuo na prošlu godinu i na odnos Hamiltona i Alonsa: "What happened between Alonso and Hamilton was in bad taste. Alonso was the two-time champion, whereas Hamilton was the rookie. Hence it was just fitting that Hamilton treated Alonso with a little more respect. I didn't like that sort of treatment, it was very disappointing to see it in the open." Nakon Hamilton, još je žešće popljuvao McLaren i njihovo nepoštivanje dvostrukog prvaka. A Jacquesova predviđanja za Alonsovu budućnost? "Alonso is a bull, he is a Spaniard and he has it in him to fight and give it his best shot till the end. And I am sure he will do so this year." Žak je mrak. I za kraj - posljednjih nekoliko dana dosta sam čitala o Formuli 1 sedamdesetih i osamdesetih godina, gledala filmiće na Jubito i uživala u utrkama, vožnjama, izjavama i biografijama vozača. I kad sam već spomenula Jacquesa Villeneuvea, ne mogu se ne osvrnuti na njegovog legendarnog oca Gillesa. Zapravo, priču ću ostaviti za neku drugu priliku, a danas ću samo staviti ovaj link pa pogledajte i uživajte (ako još niste) - Dijon 1979., Peace of Art |
