Forgive and forget?
It feels like a lifetime but at long last motorsport returns to our screen this weekend with the NASCAR Budweiser Shootout – live from Daytona Florida!
It’s a new season but unfortunately it may not be a fresh start as an old feud once again rears its head. It seems that incidents in Texas last November are still playing on champion Jimmie Johnson’s mind and he’s still smarting over a lack of apology from ‘bump-happy’ Sam Hornish Jnr.
Despite going on to secure the championship Johnson suffered a setback that could have cost him everything so is he perfectly justified in wanting an apology from Hornish Jnr? As a champion and therefore brand ambassador, should he be more willing to say ‘that’s behind us now’ especially given that the real culprit was David Reutimann? Could we expect to see the same in F1 which, when we least left it, had a similar argument ongoing between Trulli and Sutil?
When it comes to feuding drivers is it soo 2009 or soo ON? Let me know you thoughts!
When we see sports people get into these spats and not letting it go, we need to remember that they are very focused and when things don’t go their way, for reasons beyond their control, it may be far more difficult for them to step back and see that they are acting like an idiot, simply because they are sooo focused.
Hey Sam, how come when I click on the comments, it only shows the ones I’ve posted? The comments by other people don’t show up. It just shows your article and my comment under it, but no others. Do you know how I can see the other comments?
Hey Darren
The other comments listed are ‘trackbacks’ (links on another webiste to my posts) that’s why they don’t appear. Thanks for your comments though, keep them coming for the 2010 season!
