LeMans 2014

Last LeMans 24 hours race was simply nice. The best version in the last years. Audi won with a great car and after a hard race. But the only fact that darkened the race was the death of a pilot starting the race: Allan Simonsen.

More than 5 people dead and one of the newest ships around the world dumped in the sea are more than arguments to take a decision in Costa Concordia`s accident.

Montmeló!

Spanish GP, last weekend was a new start of this 2013 F1 season. European stage has started and off course it's different from the first part that included races in Australia and Asia.

The quali in Montmeló was kind of surprise. Mercedes did a good job with Rosberg 1st and Hamilton 2nd, and after both of them Vettel, Alonso and Räikkönen.

But the race was different. Tyre strategy was the most important fact and since now will be an important aspect to analyze inside each one of F1 teams before each race left during 2013.

Venezuela's worst decision

Venezuela took the worst decision in a date that will be remarked for a long time: april 14th.

On that date many citizens of that Country went to voting centers. Half of the Country looking for a real change after Chavez's death and the other half looking to continue Chavez's ideas with a candidate who said all the time that he will be like Chavez.

That day, after the elections, the results were very tight. The difference between the most important candidates were small.

Finally 'Chavez's candidate', Nicolás Maduro, won.

But he really won?

TIME Magazine Video

'Opposition candidate', Henrique Capriles, said that the reaults were a fake and he asked the Electoral Council to make an audit of all the votes. But the answer of that state organ was to give a certification to Maduro immediatly, ignoring the words of many people in Venezuela.

The worst decision was taken in Venezuela. A President who talk insulting always the people that aren't with him. And not only the President, all his ministers, the president of the Supreme Court, the president of the National Assembly.

World agenda for April

In a post of march 13th (march historical month) was explained why march impacted the world. 

But nowdays, in april 2013, is important to say that april can impact in a bigger way the whole world.

Starting because Venezuela will reapeat presidential elections. There are many candidates (in the paper) but only two candidates can win: Nicolás Maduro and Henrrique Capriles. The first one claims to be the successor of Hugo Chávez. Chávez probably said that he wanted Maduro in the presidency, but to be his successor? Maduro says many things everyday, and day-by-day he invents stories that sounds fanciful!

Capriles is the same candidate that competed with Chávez during the last elections in october/2012. He is the chance for a change in Venezuela. Next sunday Venezuela will decide if they want a change or something that can be worst that Chávez. (Why? because Maduro doesn't have proposals. Maybe some in a paper).

In the other hand, april can impact in a bigger way because North Korea Leader Kim Jong-un decided to threaten South Korea and United States with his alleged nuclear force.

Jong-un is claiming that he can attack in any moment. He doesn't measure his words...
