The moment one second after Lewis Hamilton overtook Timo Glock on the last, last lap of the last, last race of 2008

Yeah, I am almost a day late on the news but I just saw the repeat of the Brazilian Grand Prix and what a fantastic moment for Lewis Hamilton! Winning the championship at the last corner of the last race of the season must have been a nerve-shredding experience, to say the least. (Note to Hamilton: Now that you’re a true rock star, please ditch that tranny-looking girlfriend for another.)

But let’s also spare a thought for…

  • Poor old Filipe Massa, who must be feeling awful, and the entire Ferrari team, who thought they had won and were jumping for joy before realising Hamilton’s final position.
  • Poor old Timo Glock who is probably being vilified in Brazil for ‘throwing the race’. The thing is, he would have lost the position anyway if he had pitted for wet tyres.
  • Poor old David Coulthard who, on his last race, crashed out on the first lap.

Cover art of Brazilian Girls’ 2008 album, New York City

Just to clear things up, there’s only one girl in the band Brazilian Girls and none of the band members are Brazilian. Their third album, New York City, is a continuation and refinement of their music style which can be described as an almost freestyle world music, down-tempo, electro-funk, techno-dub mishmash with jazz undertones. The schizophrenic nature of their music is definitely helped by the very delicious lead singer, Sabina Sciubba’s fluency in German, Spanish, French, Italian and English. It’s a good album with a high interestingness factor, although it sometimes feels like they are contriving to sound kooky in the name being experimental.
