Alberto Ascari

Early life

Born in Milan, Ascari was the son of Antonio Ascari, a talented Grand Prix motor racing star in the 1920s, racing Alfa Romeos. Antonio was killed while leading the French Grand Prix in 1925 but the younger Ascari had an interest in racing in spite of it. He raced motorcycles in his earlier years; it was after he entered the prestigious Mille Miglia in a Ferrari sports car that he eventually started racing on four wheels regularly.

Formula One/World Championship career

Alberto Ascari at the wheel of a Maserati 4CLT/48, on his way to second place in the 1948 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Following the end of World War II Alberto Ascari began racing in Grands Prix with Maserati. His team-mate was Luigi Villoresi, who would become a mentor and friend to Ascari. Formula One regulations were introduced by the FIA in 1946, with the aim of eventually replacing the pre-war Grand Prix structure. During the next four transitional years, Ascari was at the top of his game, winning numerous events around Europe. He won his first Grand Prix race in Sanremo, Italy in 1948 and took second place in the British Grand Prix the same year. Ascari won another race with the team the following year. His biggest success came after he joined Villoresi on the Ferrari team; he won three more races that year with them. The first Formula One World Championship season took place in 1950, and the Ferrari team made its World Championship debut at Monte Carlo with Ascari, Villoresi, and the popular French driver Raymond Sommer on the team. Ascari finished 2nd in the race and later in the year shared a 2nd place at the first World Championship race at Monza. He was only 5th in the championship standings however. He won his first World Championship F1 race the following season on the Nrburgring circuit and added a win at Monza, finishing runner up in the championship to Juan Manuel Fangio.

With success in Europe, Enzo Ferrari supplied a car for Ascari in the Indianapolis 500, at the time a World Championship event, in 1952. He was the only European driver to race at Indy in its 11 years on the World Championship schedule, but his day ended after 40 laps. That was the only World Championship event in which he competed that season that he didn’t win. Ascari’s Ferrari Tipo 500 dominated 1952, winning all six races in Europe that season and recording the fastest lap in each race. He nearly scored the maximum amount of points a driver could earn, but drivers were given points for fastest laps at the time, and he had to share a half point with another driver in one race.

He won three more consecutive races to start the 1953 season, giving him nine straight wins (not counting Indy) before his streak ended when he finished 4th in France, although it was a close 4th as the race was highly competitive. He earned two more wins later in the year to give himself a second consecutive World Championship. Ascari switched to Maserati and Lancia in 1954 but did not continue his dominance as he failed to finish a race in his four attempts at F1, although he made up for it by winning the Mille Miglia.

Death

His 1955 season started similarly, retiring twice more, the latter of which was a spectacular incident in Monaco where he crashed into the harbour after missing a chicane. Four days later, on May 26, he went to Monza to watch his friend Eugenio Castellotti test a Ferrari 750 Monza sports car, which they were to co-race in the Supercortemaggiore 1000 km race (having been given special dispensation by Lancia). Just before going home to have lunch with his wife Mietta, he decided to try a few laps with the Ferrari. In shirt sleeves, ordinary trousers and Castellotti helmet he set off. As he emerged from a fast curve on the third lap the car unaccountably skidded, turned on its nose and somersaulted twice. Thrown out on the track, Ascari suffered multiple injuries and died a few minutes later.

The crash occurred on the Curva di Vialone, one of the track’s challenging high-speed corners. The corner where the accident happened, renamed in his honour, no longer exists, having been replaced with a chicane, the Variante Ascari.

Legend has it that Ascari was a very superstitious man and would always insist on using his distinct pale blue crash helmet. On the day he died, his helmet wasn available, so he borrowed Castellotti white one. The helmet was at the repair shop, having new chin strap fitted after the incident in Monte Carlo which saw Ascari’s Lancia take a dip in the Monaco harbour.

The eerie similarities between the deaths of Alberto and his father still haunt his fans to this day. Alberto Ascari died on May 26, 1955, at the age of 36. Antonio Ascari was also 36 when he died, on July 26, 1925 (Alberto was only 4 days older). Both father and son had won 13 championship Grand Prix and drove car number 26. Both were killed four days after surviving serious accidents and on the 26th day of the month. Both had crashed fatally at the exit of fast but easy left-hand corners and both left behind a wife and two children. fans from all across the globe mourned as Alberto Ascari was laid to rest next to the grave of his father in the Cimitero Monumentale cemetery in Milan, to be forever remembered as one of the greatest racers of all time.

A distraught Mietta Ascari told Enzo Ferrari that “were it not for their children she would gladly have joined her beloved Alberto in heaven”.

Another curiosity is that the only other driver to crash into the harbour at Monaco in the circuit’s history, Paul Hawkins, also died on the 26th of May. Hawkins crashed into the harbour 10 years after Ascari, before dying when his Lola crashed into a tree at a Tourist Trophy race at Oulton Park.

Legacy

The British manufacturer, Ascari Cars of the Ascari KZ1 supercar is named in his honour.

In 1992, he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.

There is a street in Rome (in the EUR region) named in his honour.

The Ascari Chicane at Autodromo Nazionale Monza is named after him.

World Championship Records

During the 1952 and 1953 World Championship seasons, Ascari set the fastest lap in 7 successive races, an achievement that has not been matched to date. The driver to have come closest is Kimi Rikknen with 6 (in 2008).

During the 1952 and 1953 World Championship seasons, Ascari won 9 World Championship Grands Prix in succession. Note that to arrive at the statistic of 9 successive races requires the exclusion of the 1953 Indianapolis 500. This caveat is usually permitted on the basis that the Indianapolis 500, whilst a round of the World Championship, was run to a different formula from the other World Championship events, and very few of the regular World Championship teams and drivers competed at Indianapolis and vice versa (Ascari’s participation in the 1952 Indianapolis race being one of the few exceptions).

Brazilian Butt Lift jeans – Do They Make Them In My Body Type?

If you’re searching to improve your look in denim jeans, no doubt you’ve run into ads or even been told by word of mouth about butt lift denim jeans. Ladies bodies come in just about all sizes and shapes — and even the phrase what constitutes “curvy” is up for discussion.

A few shapely women have the traditional hourglass form, a few have little waists and large sides with an average size butt, a few have large thighs and butt, while some fall someplace between. Regardless of what kind of “curvy” figure you have — or if you are not quite voluptuous, but sure want to seem that way, you may be truly intrigued by the promise of a far more shaped figure.

Brazilian butt lift denim jeans are made to boost the shapely figure you have. One little bit is that not all Brazilian denim jeans are created in South America, but instead it’s much more about the particular cut and style of the jean than which nation these were produced.

Whether or not you have an ample butt and wish to highlight your assets or even you are in search of the shapelier derriere, these types of denim jeans are certain to please. So you might have been questioning how do butt lift denim jeans work? Let’s study the answer!

The Actual Technology Of Brazilian Butt Lift Denim Jeans

When compared with your conventional “American” denim jeans, these are fitted with a little more spandex, and made to embrace your figure. What you should first discover is the fact that the majority of the designs in ads have butts that appear to be spherical, complete, and perky. It may seem they have already been simply fortunate with a hot physique, however the real style of these denim jeans will go a long way in the direction of emphasizing shapely figures.

Brazilian butt lift denim jeans are usually created using special concealed panels in the material that flatten the stomach. Special stitching can be used along the sides for a visible raising impact noticeable to the naked eye. The actual wash of the jeans features delicate fading which actually aesthetically enhance and make the look of the spherical, higher, perky butt.

The way the denim jeans are cut really make a difference in your look too — straight leg denim jeans provide the look of lengthy, slim, slender thighs, regardless of what your height. A few of the Brazilian denim jeans are extremely low cut, but if this particular fashion isn’t to your liking, look for those with normal rise which falls just beneath the belly button.

You may be pretty unlikely to run across these types of denim jeans in your area, if you don’t live in a place that’s extremely concentrated with fashionable shops, or regions of the nation with a higher Hispanic populace which are familiar with these types of denim jeans. Rather, you are able to buy online. Several styles can be found at reasonable prices from little shops with online retailers on the Amazon market.

National Nutrition Month

We are all getting ready for Spring.  lose those 20 pounds we gained over the winter.  Plus maybe lose another 10 pounds to fit into the favorite jeans of yours.  They say March is National Nutrition Month.  What timing.  Some are into March madness, and some are into getting their cholesterol down, or both.  Cholesterol Damages and clogs the arteries, it plays a life-giving role in many functions of the body.  As much as this family here loves to BBQ out, I’ve decided to just cook vegetables on the grill for dinner one night a week.  Fresh carrots wrapped up in tin foil with a little low fat butter.  How about some fresh green beans also, add some fresh garlic to it also.  Corn on the Cobb I suggest using the old method I grew up with.  Remove the silk but  keep the husk on.  Soak it in salt and sugar for about one or two  hours, then throw that on the grill.   Make it your favorite, or if you want a little starch, take a red potato and cut in up in four pieces.  Microwave it for 1 minute on each side then throw it in the tin foil with the carrots or green beans.  It’s a little starch, but not a whole lot.  One more favorite is Asparagus on the grill.  Soak the asparagus for about 15 minutes.  You could rub a little olive oil on the asparagus, and throw it on the grill.  My niece told me about one of her favorite dishes is asparagus wrapped in bacon, and I think that is great to get a teen to eat asparagus.   Last of my favorites is bell pepper and onions, sliced and sautéed on the grill.  You could marinade the vegetable for about 10-15, or brush them with olive oil.   One of my favorite marinades is olive oil, lemon juice and crushed garlic.  If you want to replace oils all together, trying using a low-fat cooking spray.   They say a glass of red wine can be good for you.  I just happen to make it a big glass.  There is nothing like hanging out on the patio, grilling your vegetables to make a person relax.  Just think how cool you will keep your house in the summer from not cooking on the stove.

When it’s nights to add some meat to your diet.  Try the boneless, skinless chicken thighs they cook real well on the grill without boiling first.  Especially when you’re out camping somewhere, the last thing you want to do is an extra step like boiling.  They are not as thick as the breasts, and very juicy yet.   If you have the ingredients to marinade ahead of time.  That helps.  Vegetables are so great anytime.  They don’t spoil as easy, and easy to store.  The next time you are sitting out on your patio or out camping  and thinking, what should I cook for dinner tonight.  Think about the great recipes mentioned earlier.  Either way they will help lower your cholesterol some, lose a little weight and fit into the outdoor clothing you love so much.
