[027.19] standing ovation

Standing ovation for Vettel. I can’t imagine how hard was for him, but was great to see him defending Hamilton in the podium. With the decision to give him a 5 seconds penalty, the stewards killed the end of what was going to be an amazing race to the chequered flag. This kind of penalties should be for situations where there is a clear intention to get an advantage, not when it is impossible to be sure about the intentions.

With decisions like this, they are just killing F1.

[022.19] runaway train 2.0

Back in 1992, 25 years ago, Soul Asylum released what becomes an iconic music video featuring missing children from around the USA.

I have the clear memory of this song and its impact.

Now, the USA National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (that originally had a partnership with Soul Asylum) released a new version of the song with a new artist and a new generation of children, which includes geo-targeting technology.

The new music video is the first time the NCMEC has used geo-targeting technology to find these missing children.

Always a good cause…
