super fast downturn

the scourge caused by the financial deflation is spreading into the world of super fast cars and sybaritic comforts, quite too obviously. although formula one may be a source of huge wealth amongst its drivers and hierarchy, it's still a sport and down the bottom of the food chain are the little workers. when business is down, sports, which accumulate shimmering fortune through backers and sponsors, ultimately suffer. so it was more or less heartbreaking to read about honda's withdrawal from formula one, cruelly affected by the economic downturn and forced to protect its core enterprise. jenson button, one of the stars of race of champions at wembley stadium on 14th, would be without a team. rubens barrichello, the one with the sensitive demeanor on the telly, would be set to leave the stage. i'm still confused why button is that popular despite his underchievement, but then glamour posh boy looks triumph over talent at anytime. whilst i will always remember barrichello during his ferrari stint, aiding michael schumacher, another star for race of champions, secure championship points. those were pretty good memories. but all good things come to an end. that isn't such a bad cliche.
