BBC Grand Prix -- LONG BEACH

"Welcome back to BBC America BreakfastTime Sunday. I'm Oona Dafoe."

Election Fever leads the news. In the USA Democratic hopefuls look ahead to "Industrial Tuesday" A slate of primaries in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, AND Pennsylvania. Democratic frontrunners courted key party mayors over the weekend. In Chicago, New York Senator Hillary Clinton met with Chicago Mayor Barack Obama. In Detroit, California Senator Barbara Boxer had a joint appearance with Detroit Mayor John Salley. While the leading challenger on the left, Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone toured Ohio with Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory.

Across the Atlantic, the Battlebuses are warming up. Prime Minister Michael Portillo is expected tp set a date for the General Election by Monday and dissolve Parliament. The current polls shows the Tories in slight lead. The leader of the Labour opposition, Diane Abbott will appear on Paxman Tonight to discuss Labour's strategy toward the coming vote.

And in France, Wednesday will be decision day. Current President Nicolas Sarkozy is in the fight of his political life against Socialist Party Candidate Segolene Royal. Many say the key to the ballot could be who can garner the supporters of Action Francaise candidate Bernard Tapie who ran a close third in the first round balloting. Both candidate met with Tapie last week, but the noted industrialist did not great either an endorsement.

In Sport this past week. Leeds United is partying like its the 1970s as they earned their way to the UEFA Champions League Final with a 4-2 victory over AC Milan to win the aggregate. Jermaine Dafoe was the most colorful Peacock again with 2 goals...and yes, he's my husband They will have tough odds in the final as they'll met "The Billion Dollar Team" Real Madrid in the final. Madrid swept both legs on Manchester United led by the brilliant play of Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney and Clint Dempsey.

Today's big event is coming up BBC 1 and BBC America. Formula 1 takes the track in Sunny Long Beach, California, It is the United States Grand Prix West. On the seaside this morning we have our BBC Grand Prix team...Murray Walker, Martin Brundle, John Bisagnano and Jeff Gordon...take it away boys."

(cue "The Chain")

The battle for the World Championship comes to America for the first of three Grand Prix here in the USA. It is a perfect day for a race in Long Beach..and it was a wide open qualifying session that lead to yet another surprise and our second "Prequalify To Pole" winner of the season. Jeff Gordon has more on that.."

"Young Marco Andretti was fast in prequalifying in his Zanardi and then he tore through Saturday knockout qualifying to win his first F1 pole. He will try to do something his grandfather, and his father have done.

Mario Andretti won here at Long Beach in 1977 and 1978. and his dad Michael won here in 1992. Marco Andretti has been fast all weekend and could add his name to the Andretti legend at Long Beach."

"You can also add his teamowner Alex Zanardi who won here twice as well."

Upfront the championship battle Martin Brundle. Three races. Three different winners from three different teams, and the two men at the top of the championship have yet to win a race."

"Murray, it shows how competitive F1 is and how consistency matters. Lewis Hamilton hasn't won a race but he's been on the podium twice in three races and he's hasn't had the rough Sunday others have had, but World Champions Sebastian Vettel is 2 points ahead because Vettel has been strong with bonus points. He got the 5-point pole bonus in Malaysia and earned the fastest lap single-point bonus at Kylami.

John Bisagnano, this season has been wild so far. What has surprised you.

"The diversity Murray, across the teams. Go back to South Africa, how Springbok and Tomas Scheketer raced to the pole position and could have won the race. A late pit stop hurt them but they still earned a podium finish. Nico Rosberg's bonzai charge past Vettel to win Malaysia. Juan Pablo Montoya breaking a two-year losing streak with a fine drive in Brazil. And down the order Nelson Piquet Jr. has been smart and solid and could challenge here today. His dad's team putting together two straight quality weekends. Bruno Senna's snappy start. Will Power starting strong. Jacqueline Cevert and Danica Patrick have worked into the mix, and the grand old man of Formula 1 Rubens Barrichello, who just missed a podium in Brazil. This Formula 1 season is shaping up to be everything that Damon Hill hoped it would be.

Long Beach Race Report!!!

Mattel Intellivision HD United States Grand Prix West at Long Beach
LEWIS PUTTIN' IN WORK
Hamilton retakes championship lead with inspired drive.

Long Beach, California -- All season, he had been consistent in races. A set of podium finishes making up for qualifying sessions that weren't up to speed of some the other top teams. Lewis Hamilton has spent much of the season with a Stewart/Tyrrell-Ford that was a much better race car than qualifying car.

At Long Beach, having the best race car really matter as Hamilton drove to the top of the podium in in a 75-lap symphony that saw the former world champ channel his inner John Watson.

From the start, hard chargers took command. Will Power jumped young Marco Andretti at the start and took the early lead. Until Nico Rosberg picked his way from 4th to 1st by lap 7.

The race changed drastically in the pits. The Jordan's made their presence known as Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel used solid pit stops to ascend to their customary 1-2 spots by lap 18.

What they didn't count out was the man on third.

Hamilton started the race on a hard tyre compound. He was running 5th early on, but the car took to the tyres, and the track by lap 10, and Hamilton closed. It was part of a risky 3-stop strategy designed to take advantage of having nimble race-ready car...and Hamilton took advantage through the second pit-window. Between laps 20-39, Hamilton set four fastest laps and closed the advantage of the Jordans. He got past Vettel at Lap 35, and raced past Button for the lead at Lap 39.. On Lap 41...He topped off fuel again...But the tyre stayed on the car. The Goodyear hards hanging tough.

Down the field, suprising performances bubbled to the top. Kyle Busch was having one of his most aggressive drives, battling the equally aggressive Nico Rosberg for fifth. Marco Andretti was trying to battle back from an early spin to run 7th. Katherine Legge was having her best driv since her win in 2009 running 8th and climbing..

At Lap 56, Ryan Hunter-Reay found his pace, and set fastest lap to climb into 10th.

Up front, Hamilton continued to surge to their final pit lap..Again, the S/T boys calculated well. They ended the race on their soft-sticky red Goodyears..and Lewis kept his advantage, which had grown to 37 second by the Lap 63 stop. Hamilton from there snatched fastest lap and held it to a joyous checkered flag.

Behind him, a scrambled for the podium. Will Power, climbed back up to second..and third was a wild 4-car duel that was won by Katherine Legge who had raced her hart to maneuver past Button and Rosberg to take a spot at 3rd.

Final Results (TAG Olivetti-Longines Timing)

1. Lewis HAMILTON Stewart/Tyrrell-Ford 75 laps
2. Will POWER Brock-Ilmor/Holden -29.653 seconds

Well I'm Back!

That Means as i continue to Cover the Drill Team Sounds, Let's See a First Look for both Alameda High Schools

Encinal Flight Crew
Lead Captain: Noella Leuterio
Songs That She Will Probably Sing: "Knock On Wood" (orig. by Amii Stewart), "You Da One" (orig. by Rihanna), "3" (orig. by Britney Spears)
Notes: The Flight Crew could be considered to finish in the top 10 in the Bay Area Regionals just like they did for 3 straight years in a row, but could they go for #4 in the 2012-2013 season?

Alameda Hornettes
Lead Captain: Holly Staten
Songs That She Will Probably Sing: "I Would Die 4 U" (orig. by Prince), "Far From Over" (orig. by Frank Stallone)
Notes: Holly Staten who also performs with her school's choir and performs in Musical Theater could try her shot along with Co-Captains Grace Guenon, Juliet Leonard and others to finish in the top 5 and probably make it to the Nationals

And in Case You Missed Ride Awake this week: The Hornettes did appeared this week with Staten singing to Holding out for a Hero (Which happened to be a Kick Routine in the 2012 Bay Area Drill Team Regionals) accompanied by Adam Petty's In-Car Camera at Daytona which is filmed on July 7th.

July 27, 2012: The Summer Olympics kicked off in London and among the stuff we had in the Opening Ceremonies included the Opening Section of the Ceremony encapsulated British economic and social development from rural economy to Industrial Revolution to the 1960s, The Queen's Introduction, a performance celebrating the National Health Service, and Sir Simon Rattle's performance to honor the 30th anniversary of Vangelis Chariots of Fire with Rowan Atkinsson performing comically playing a repeated single note on synthesiser. He then lapsed into a dream sequence in which he joined the runners from the film of the same name (about the 1924 Summer Olympics), beating them in their iconic run along West Sands at St. Andrews by riding in a car and tripping the front runner., after that The performance was followed by a sequence to honor British Pop Culture in a song and dance routine centered around a Boy and a Girl portrayed by (Enrique Costa & Jasmine Breinburg) flirting by mobile phone, performed to an assortment of British popular songs arranged chronologically sung by Breinburg & Costa, ending with a live performance of "Bonkers" by Dizzee Rascal, but during the performance saluting British Pop Culture a group of members of the 101st Field Artillery Regiment from Brockton, MA fired cannons in the shores of East Providence, RI (in which Meredith Vieira who did the commentary on the Opening Ceremony in the 2012 Summer Olympics which aired on NBC) accompanying Breinburg's Vocals while Members of the 56th Troop Command in Providence, RI accompaning Costa's Vocals to honor 4 Decades of British Music following the performance but during the 80's start with "Blue Monday", "Relax", "How Do You Want Me", and "Sweet Dreams" to have Jasmin's Vocals heard as the 101st Field Artillery Regiment fired Cannons all over the Shores of Rhode Island.

Following the Opening Ceremonies after David Beckham along with 7 young athletes lighted the torch, news reports we're occured on WJAR-TV (Meredith Vieira's Alma Mater) on the Cannon Fire Performance from Katie Davis, the same goes for WHDH-TV (Matt Lauer's Alma Mater because he hosted Talk of The Town), and on the London Telegraph when Jasmine Breinberg talk about by performing in Danny Boyle's Opening Ceremony, with that success a special CD saluting the Sounds of the 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony will be released including the Vocals of Jasmine Breinberg in the British Pop Culture Salute will be released on August 1st, 2012 (click here for the interview from the Telegraph).
