Lewis Hamilton joins team Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton has made the switch to Mercedes leaving behind his career with McLaren. That has caused a shift in drivers for 2013 as Sergio Perez will now replace Hamilton and right now Michael Schumacher has no seat left for 2013 but if he wants to drive he should decide soon. The only likely seat available for him is with Sauber. He could have avoided this if he had resigned with Mercedes but there is growing speculation that he will be retiring at the end of the year which probably caused Mercedes to pursue Hamilton harder.

His new teammate Nico Rosberg went to twitter to show his enthusiasm for having a quality driver like Lewis racing next to him on the same team. That will make Mercedes far more competitive, no offence Schumi. It could help Mercedes win the world constructors championship as the team could use more points and is always in the rear view mirror of Red Bull Racing and McLaren. 

Hamilton had early success in 2008 winning the world championship in the last race of the year on the very last lap in stunning fashion. Ever since he has been a real competitor in every season racking up many wins and is always in the title hunt including this year in 2012. He would most likely be winning the season at the moment if it wasn't for many errors caused by their team which resulted in a lot of lost time, dropped places and most important lost crucial points. It should be him leading this season but it is currently Fernando Alonso.

Effect of Global Food Price Hikes

Effect of Global Food Price Hikes One of the most important things which people need is food.

Most of the food that we consume came from plants. Plants need the help of both water and light in order to process photosynthesis which then convert these materials to energy and make the plants grow and produce fruits and vegetables. But this year, most of the countries experiences long hot summer. This means that the supply of water will be limited and there will be too much sunlight. These would greatly affect the production of crops. In this manner, farmers will be able to harvest smaller portion of what they have planted. In basic economy, the lesser the supply of crops, the higher the demand of food, means that price of those crops will surely soar high.

If there will be an increased in the price of the food then most likely, the one that would be surely affected were those poor people who have no capacity on buying expensive food. Since those people can’t buy their own food, then a lot of people for example those who were in Africa dies from starvation. As we can see, hunger is one of the major problems our world is facing. From this kind of problem another problem will be born such as increase of crime rate.

We are aware of what is climate change; even America has no excuse with this phenomenon. America was known to be the most powerful country and has the largest grain exporters but still they struggles from worst production shortfalls. Fortunately, World Bank made an action by meeting up each country and discuss on making their laws and policies stronger in order to protect those people which made up the country.

Without those people, a country will never be called a country. In addition, World Bank also team up with the United Nations and some non-Government organization. They focus on how the government takes action when global food price hikes. In these manners, sellers, businessmen, and merchants will be able to sell their price with respect to the proper pricing.

Fernando Alonso likely to win WDC 2012

Fernando Alonso goes into the Belgian Grand Prix not with the best chance to win but it is Jenson Button who won the pole position.  For Button to win the title he'll need to basically beat Alonso every race for the rest of the season. The RedBulls are strong but it is expected they might not finish the season as strong considering their GP wins came early in the season when they had a design advantage that was later rejected by FIA for them to fix.

During this time Alonso has only got faster and become more consistent of a driver. Perhaps Lewis Hamilton is the only driver that can really catch him but this could even be too late for him.

The fastest pit stops of the season belong to McLaren and Ferrari. At least Ferrari are the fastest on average because they don't bundle anything the way McLaren's have done all season. If McLaren cars have their act together maybe they can team up to make a push for either a world drivers championship title and also to challenge for the world constructors championship.

The odds for all of these don't look great but if you think that RBR are on the downturn and McLaren's can only go up, this looks like an easy decision to make and money in the bank for making any sort of bet like this.

Regardless of what happens for the rest of the season, the title is still up for grabs and should remain so late until the last race of the season. It will probably take until the Brazilian grand prix race to determine who wins both championship titles.
