A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

MONOCO GRAND PRIX - VETTEL AND FERRARI ON FIRE, AS HAMILTON AND MERCEDES RECONFIGURE THEIR CHALLENGE!
Big Congratulation to Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo and their team, Ferrari and Red Bull, for having completed the Monaco Grand Prix on P.1, P.2 and P.3, respectively
As Formula One races go, the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix, as it had been in previous seasons, not a great race, with the drivers having to prioritise safety above pretty much all else.
Indeed, despite its purported fame, the Monaco circuit is, compared to other Grand Prix circuits, an inner-city A road, with the racing cars doing 78 laps of 'following the leader' racing.
A monotonous spectacle which is only broken up with drivers being drawn into the surrounding barriers, bringing an untimely end to their race.
It was no different during Sunday's race, with Vettel, with the aid of a fortuitous tactical move by his team, taking over the lead from his team mate, Kemi, and remaining in the lead thereafter. To Kimi's palpable chagrin.
And, while Vettel remained on fire, as he has been for much of the practise and qualifying sessions during the weekend. Valtteri Botas, despite his best endeavours, could not prevent himself losing his P.3 position at the start of the race and ending it at P.4.
And what of the struggling Lewis Hamilton, who has, it seemed, a most torrid, irritating and frustrating practise and qualifying sessions, which culminated in him starting the race at P.13?
Well, all things considered, Hamilton, by the end of the race, had done all that could have been expected of him, by advancing 6 positions to P.7. Had it not been for the final Safety Car call on the 61 lap of the race, he might have overtaken Carlos Sainz. But it was not to be.
Hamilton professed to be very happy with his achievement in what was definitely not an auspicious weekend for him and his Mercedes team.
With Sebastian Vettel and his Ferrari team, having accumulated a 25 points lead in the challenge for the 2017 Drivers Championship. Hamilton and Mercedes must now step up to the mark and significantly improved their performance and achievement.
They must also remain consistent and reliable in their drivers', cars' and team's performances, and with their race strategies and tactics being spot on. Only then, are they likely constrain and catch up and overall Seb Ferrari.
It can be done, but it is upto Hamilton, Bottas and their Mercedes Team, to do it. If they are hungry enough, aspiring enough, motivated enough, and willing to consistently deploy the requisite amount of commitment and professionalism which is required to do it!
~And drench, if not put out the Vettel/Ferrari fire which is threatening to runaway with the 2017 Formula One season!
The Canada Grand Prix cannot come soon enough, so that we can see the results of the lessons Mercedes has learnt, and the application of changes they have made to improve their performance and fight to retake the Championship lead.
