Circuit Racing: Is this a track-worthy machine?

Author : cmunroe

So, Lewis Hamilton’s season came to a halt when he won the World Championship, with races in hand. It is my view that his drive ended, pun intended, when he realised that he was finally a member of F1′s elite club of exceptional drivers. The interpretation of my riddle can be arrived at without a degree in English Literature! His apparently reckless ride in Monaco – which also came to an abrupt halt – would not have occurred if the championship was not secured.

Hamilton, unlike the typical F1 superstar, lives in the real world and actually acts his age – partying and the carefree existence occupy prominent positions on his curriculm vitae! This is an opinion – Nico is a part of the team and any cooperative team-mate would want his peer to share in the spoils – after he has departed with the most important trophy!

I have stated that the stars and stripes clan has recovered from the mutilation they suffered at the hands of the Asian and European automakers. Through the use of benchmark products – BMW M3, Porsche GT3 etc. the clan has learnt a lot. I will be the first to admit that green drowns my eyes when I see certain American-built and enhanced machines ride by. This machine needs no introduction. Ford’s performance arm, like a worker bee, is trapped in an industrious mode, conceptualizing and building high-horsepower, bang for the measly buck machines! And like the telecommunications war, here at home, the consumer smiles and leaves the bank with more money in his account!

But, we are about motorsports and we welcome any machine to the circuit or the dragstrip! Is this a track-worthy machine!
