CHAMPIONSHIP INFORMATION (from Wikipedia) :

In Brazil, Carlos Reutemann, presented as one of the big favorites for the championship, won the race despite a remarkable performance from Carlos Pace on Brabham-Alfa. In South Africa, the Scuderia wins again thanks to Niki Lauda, whose first success since his accident the previous year.

Solid second, Scheckter takes the lead in the championship.

The race was marked by the fatal accident of Welshman Tom Pryce who collided with a careless track marshal at full speed.

Two weeks later, Formula 1 was once again in mourning: Brazilian driver Carlos Pace, who had been on high since the start of the season in his Brabham-Alfa Romeo, died in a plane accident.

In Long Beach, California, where Alan Jones replaced Pryce at Shadow while the German Stuck was called to replace Pace, Mario Andretti gave the Lotus 78 wing car its first success. Once again to his advantage, Jody Scheckter finished third and remains tied for the lead in the championship with Lauda. In Spain, even more clearly than in California, Andretti won another victory. Once again on the podium, Scheckter took advantage of Lauda's loss, whose poorly strengthened rib, the result of his 1976 accident, had broken, to regain the lead in the championship alone.

In Monaco, Jody Scheckter confirmed the Wolf's good performance by taking his second victory ahead of the returning Lauda. Unlike his lucky victory in Buenos Aires, this success owed nothing to chance since he dominated the race from start to finish after getting the better of pole sitter Watson at the start.

Not at ease in the streets of the principality, the Lotuses regained their splendor in Belgium. If Andretti takes pole, victory goes to his Swedish teammate Gunnar Nilsson. Second, Lauda comes within one point of Scheckter in the championship. The Lotus domination continued in Sweden but, suffering from a fuel shortage ahead of the finish, Andretti had to cede victory to the unexpected Jacques Laffite on the Ligier-Matra, which qualified eighth but was supreme in the race. In the history of the world championship, this is the first victory for a French-French chassis-engine combination. The French public expects the "Blues" to repeat their feat at the French Grand Prix but in Dijon, Mario Andretti takes his revenge after taking advantage of John Watson's running out of fuel at the end of the race. Modest fifth, Lauda takes the championship lead from Scheckter, ahead of Andretti and the South African by one point.

At Silverstone, reigning world champion James Hunt remembered everyone by winning his first victory of the season following yet another retirement from John Watson, the unlucky man of the season. Mario Andretti was a victim of his engine while Scheckter made a mistake at the start of the race, which allowed the regular Lauda to distance himself from the championship. The famous Renault turbo makes its debut in the hands of Jean-Pierre Jabouille: still a long way off in terms of performance and also a victim of the questionable reliability of its engine, from which smoke often escapes, the yellow car is ironically renamed The yellow tea-pot (the yellow teapot) by British enthusiasts.

Almost a year to the day after his terrible accident, Lauda made a victorious return to Germany with the exception that F1 abandoned the Nürburgring for the Hockhenheim track. Then, second in Austria behind Alan Jones and again victorious in the Netherlands, he irresistibly took off in the championship. At the same time, Mario Andretti, who was the favorite for the title at mid-season, suffered three new engine failures and appeared definitively abandoned. He returned to success at Monza but, a solid second, Lauda took another step towards the title which he definitively secured at Watkins Glen with a simple fourth place.

At odds with the main members of the Scuderia since the previous winter and not having digested the criticism against him, as well as the disavowal consisting of making him the second driver of the team behind Reutemann whom he would dominate throughout. throughout the year, Lauda signed for the following season with Bernie Ecclestone's Brabham team during the summer. With the world title in his pocket, the Austrian slammed the door of the Scuderia even before the last two events of the season. At the Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport, he was replaced by Quebecer Gilles Villeneuve. The race was won by Scheckter who, despite a sluggish second part of the season, took advantage of yet another engine failure from Andretti to secure the place of vice-world champion.

Then in Japan, in a race marked by the collision between Villeneuve and Peterson which cost the lives of two people (located in a place theoretically closed to the public), James Hunt won. On the podium of the race, only the third Patrick Depailler appears because Hunt and Reutemann did not appear at the ceremony so as not to miss their plane for Europe.

Video captures 23-year-old man fatally gunned down with 'high-powered weapon' in West Philly: police

PHILADELPHIA - Surveillance video captures a disturbing scene that shows a suspect fatally shoot a 23-year-old man who was standing outside a store in West Philadelphia Saturday night.

According to police, the shooting occurred just before 8 p.m. Saturday on the Unit block of North 52nd Street.

The surveillance video shows the moment the suspect opened fire killing the 23-year-old man on the busy West Philly corridor.

The alleged shooter was wearing a mask and fired from close range.

Law enforcement sources say the shooter appeared to use an AK-47 or a similar high-powered weapon and fired at least 15 rifle rounds at nearly point-blank range.

The victim sustained bullet wounds throughout his body. He was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

People in the community told FOX 29's Kelly Rule the horrifying sound could be heard for blocks.

Gwen Butler says she was sitting outside on the porch with a 2-year-old and 6-month old.

"It was just really horrifying because it scared my baby to death," said Gwen Butler, Philadelphia resident. "We heard this cannon sound and it sounded like 9 shots or better and it was just going on and people were scattering."

The gunfire erupted near Market Street about a block from where police have a vehicle stationed.

"How do you got a cop right here cop right here and a man pull out an AK and kill somebody right there, how is that? I don't understand that," said Kevin Richmond, West Philadelphia Barber.

Butler recently moved to Philly from Baltimore in order to be closer to her son. She expressed more of her concerns after watching the surveillance video.

"I just seen how random it is, how impulsive it is. Somebody decided to do it and they executed and it's like who are you?," said Butler. "Iit's the young people, your decision to do these things is not conducive to everybody in this community. We need to do something. Settle your beef somewhere else or learn to sit down and get over yourself. It is horrifying. I am tired of seeing my young people die like this, really tired, and it doesn't belong in Philly or any other city."

Police say they are reviewing the surveillance footage and the Shooting Investigation Group is handling the investigation.

A 26-year-old Russian boxer called Arest Saakyan died on January 7 following injuries sustained in a fight on December 26 last year.

Boxing Scene reported that Saakyan died after suffering a cerebral edema, or swelling of the brain, under two weeks after his most recent match — an eight-round knockout defeat to Igor Semernin, in Tolyatti, Russia.

Reports from boxing media suggest that Saakyan took the fight at short notice.

A stocky super middleweight at 5-foot-8, Saakyan was an orthodox fighter with a pro record before the fight of six wins (five knockouts) against two defeats.

Prior to fighting Semernin, a fellow novice boxer albeit one with a flawless knockout record, Saakyan had never been finished.

Saakyan went into his ninth fight with little preparation. According to his sister Svetlana Petoryan, he had to drop around 30 pounds of weight in "a very short span of time."
