First are some silly anagrams of F1 racing drivers and such. After that are some anagrammatical comments about various specific race incidents of the last couple of years. Not all of these anagrams are good...
David Marshall Coulthard =
Mash rival car, old lad: thud.
GP driver Eddie Irvine =
I deride revving pride. [Poetry on motion]
Jos Verstappen's crime =
Jester's crap move: spin. [unfair since his departure methods vary]
[Japan, 12 October 2008 -
an interesting race is soured greatly by stewards'
decisions, as seems to be the case more and more often.]
A second Formula One win this year surprises both Fernando Alonso and
the Renault team. =
Oh, man - one Massa the Turd's Ferrari cronies found an unreal penalty
to hand Lewis. Seb too.
[Singapore, 28 September 2008 -
the first night race boasts a first-time podium finisher, the first
race win of the season for Fernando Alonso, and a pit-lane fiasco for
Ferrari; coming in third, Lewis Hamilton is now further ahead in the
competition for the drivers' championship crown.]
Alonso, Rosberg, Hamilton = A night Marlboro loses, no?
Ferrari pit lane fiasco = Fiat's error: an 'epic fail'.
[China, 7 October 2007]
Inept Lewis in a pout ... wipes out in pitlane.
[Japan, 30 September 2007 -
an anagram of a silly headline befitting a soggy, foggy race day.]
Hamilton Rains Supreme = Splash-immune anterior!
It should come as no great shock to anyone that leading the race can
make it easier not to be hit by the rain in others' wake.
For something more controversial, here's the anagram I found
first...
Hamilton Rains Supreme = Minstrel man's euphoria
[17 September 2007 -
we have the FIA's World Motor Sport Council to thank for this anagram,
and for casting a sodden blanket over what was shaping up to be a most
interesting F1 season.]
A horrific day - council step in and punish team (Ron Dennis, Alonso,
Hamilton, PdLR, others):
=
A one hundred million dollar fine and no constructors' championship
points this year.
And the slightly more biased and silly version:
Shiny red team orders hint to FIA council "Punish Dennis. Carpoon
Alonso, Hamilton, PdlR!"
=
A one hundred million dollar fine and no constructors' championship
points this year.
[What does the future hold?]
Formula One season = Alonso more unsafe?
[Malaysia, 8 May 2007]
The race in Malaysia = Yea - McLaren hit Asia!
[Germany, 30 July 2006 -
a desperate plea prompted by the race results...]
In Germany, redder is faster. =
"End Ferrari design mastery!"
To adopt the voice of a certain smug German, and perhaps slightly poor taste:
The outcome today in Germany is yet another Ferrari win. =
"Terrifying, I hint to you on Monday: 'We are the race master!'"
[Monaco on 28 May 2006 -
a day that will live in infamy.]
The Monaco Formula One...
Oooh, monumental farce.
[San Marino Grand Prix, 23 April 2006 -
a change in Ferrari's pace, which had been uninspiring in the weeks that
followed the suggestion that they should use rules-compliant wings.]
M. Schumacher gets pole and the win at Imola =
Allow this cheating team no cars! Dump 'em, eh?
[Malaysian Grand Prix, 19 March 2006 -
an exciting race in which both Renault drivers do good work.]
One-two in Sepang = A top engine's won.
[Silverstone, 10 July 2005 -
both McLarens surprise by finishing the race (and then some).]
Juan Pablo Montoya takes his first win for McLaren =
(AP) Reliability Shocker! ~
An on-form fat man's just won!'
[Monte Carlo, 22 May 2005 -
after two in a row...]
Kimi wins again, at the Monte Carlo race. =
With Monaco, a McLaren's in gear, I take it.
[Spain, 8 May 2005 -
McLaren finally show what their cars can do if
they make it to the end of a race - Kimi makes Alonso look slow...
Meanwhile, Ferrari are beset by problems, and Michael retires to
the sidelines after the second of two pit stops caused by tyre punctures.]
Kimi leads. = A smile, kid?
Kimi set the pace, and he won. = Spain: the one Mike watched.
Or, for those who don't like motor racing:
Kimi sets the pace and wins it. =
"A champ?! It is weekends sittin'!"
[San Marino, 24 April 2005]
The last race, in San Marino, was _close_. =
Michael _tastes_ Alonso's car - a winner.
[Bahrain, 3 April 2005]
What took place in Sunday's Formula One Race in Bahrain...
Schumacher plea: "No, Brawn! No Italian autos, okay, friend?"
Rub it in, Fernando Alonso. Poke away at Schumacher: "A nil?".
[Malaysia, 20 March 2005]
Alonso wins the race in Sepang = Engine's in shape. Not a slow car.
[San Marino Grand Prix, March 2005 -
Michael is in 10th position at the first round of pit stops. After
eating away at the gap to Jenson Button and then race leader Fernando
Alonso, he breathes down the neck of the latter for the last 12 laps of
the race.]
The last race, in San Marino, was close =
Michael _tastes_ Alonso's car - a winner.
[3 April 2005]
What took place in Sunday's Formula One Race in Bahrain...
=
Schumacher plea: "No, Brawn! No Italian autos, okay, friend?"
=
Rub it in, Fernando Alonso. Poke away at Schumacher: "A nil?".
=
A Fernando Alonso win. A Schumacher break. Italy poutin'.
[The second race of the season, held in Malaysia on 20 March 2005]
Alonso wins the race in Sepang = Engine's in shape. Not a slow car.
[Season finale in October 2004]
Montoya wins the year's final race, in Interlagos, Brazil ~
in a classy not-Ferrari one/two - amazing, eh? Yes, brilliant.
and
As Montoya wins the race (the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos), ~
it's amazing, poignant. Await next season, Barrichello; try harder.
[Spanish Grand Prix, May 2003]
The new Ferrari cars =
Faster, Herr! Win race!
[On the Ferrari unveiled at the start of the season - or indeed most seasons]
Inside that new Ferrari's ~ a winner. Their red is fast.
[The Schumacher brothers' mother dies in April 2003, on a race weekend. They do well in the race nonetheless.]
Crushed, hit, brothers amaze. Helmets hid ache at ~ their mother Elizabeth Schumacher's sad death.
(Also, 'Their mother Elizabeth Schumacher's sad death. =
The Deutsche brothers hard-hit, Michael amazes.')
[The Australian Grand Prix in 2002 sees almost half of the field
on the sidelines for most of the race, as the result of a lot of first-corner
action.]
The first corner of the Australian Grand Prix =
Poor cars - half exit in rather frustrating end.
[In July 2002, I wonder whether Juan Pablo Montoya would start
winning races, as he had been on pole position so many times in the course
of the season without winning. Here's some wishful thinking.]
Just how many poles? = J. P. Montoya slew Shu!
How many poles is it now? = Montoya, who wins piles.
[In May 2002, Ferrari order Rubens Barrichello to allow Michael past to
win the Italian Grand Prix, amid booing. At least, that's probably what happened.
We will never know what went on between the team and the drivers,
so I'm not going to judge Michael to be a creep in this particular
case. Certainly, my opinion of Ferrari is lower after this incident.]
Quote from Williams boss Patrick Head:
"A team that has produced a car this brilliant does not really need to
do this."
=
Italy ad: Barrichello ordered to let Schumi past at the end. A sad host nation.
