FORMULA ONE IN AZERBAIJAN

RAIKKONEN, 2ND - HAMILTON, 1ST - PEREZ, 3RD

I never would have guessed the outcome of this race. First off, I love this street track. Always a lot of action and today didn't disappoint. Hamilton, who hasn't won a race this season, came in first under a comedy of errors. Hamilton had no hope of winning until his leading teammate ran over something on the track giving him a flat tire. Kimi Raikkonen came in second when his teammate, who had also been in the lead for 30 laps, ran wide and then dropped back on cold tires. Sergio Perez put his foot to the floor and came in third. Unfortunately, he may not be able to keep this spot due to an infraction of the rules....always the rules.

Hulkenberg was having a great day considering he got docked 5 spots for changing his transmission. Magnussen, for Haas, ended in 13th and his teammate wrecked on lap 42 under the 'safety car.' That doesn't happen very often. Speaking of things that don't happen often....Red Bull, ala Vettel and Webber, they had the mishap of Verstappen and Ricciardo running into each other.

There was a high rate of attrition including Bottas, Grosjean, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Ocon and Sirotken.

JAMES and JAMES (JR.) HYLTON......1934 and 1957 - 2018

JAMES JR. AND JAMES

I recently mentioned how racing drivers rarely leave the sights, sounds and smells of the racetrack. If they are able to other things in the racing business, they will. Back in the 60's and 70's James was a driver of note in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. He currently owns a car in the NASCAR ARCA Series and it had just run in Alabama. Their truck and race car trailer, being driven by Crew Chief Terry Strange, went out of control killing James and James Jr.

INDYCAR IN ALABAMA........SECOND TRY

"Rain, rain, go away....come again some other day." 'Some other day,' it did. Yesterday the rain washed out any chance of completing the race. After leading for 73 of the 90 laps, Josef Newgarden was the winner. A long 9 seconds later second place went to Ryan Hunter-Reay, Third place went to James Hinchcliffe. Even with all the rain that they had yesterday it was raining again by the end of this race.

Takumo Sato, who is on the Letterman team this year, came in 8th. Tony Kanaan, who is driving for A.J. Foyt, came in 18th. Tony, who should be retiring, said during the race that due to a new child in his family he would like to drive until he is 50. I am sure that if a team owner would take him we could see him for many more years. The Ed Carpenter Team came in 14th and 15th.

I am still very impressed with rookie Robert Wickens. Today he collected a 4th place.
