Hey, Only 'Challenging', slightly off topic, but it occurred to me that the modern attitude, towards taking responsibility for your own actions, ie don't, was illustrated by the penalty incurred by Alonso at the last Arab Grand Prix.
Fernando, knowing the young Russell would attempt to pass him into the corner, used a little guile to wrong foot the Mercedes driver, by, it seems, braking a trifle earlier than previous laps, and then accelerating again. George, not too bright, misjudged his speed, and crashed, even though Alonso was not involved in any form of contact. The accident was not Russell's fault, it was all on the Aston driver, because as Fernando said in his defence, such tricks were all part of a drivers art, which they always have been. In today's world that is a crime. Russell was a victim of his own lack of attention (no observation), failed to detect Alonso reduction in speed, (no anticipation) and was to slow to avoid a meeting with the barriers, (no acceleration, as defined by Bauble's motto).

What a namby pamby bunch these kids are today.
