The Weekend...
It has been a dull week end for me...I was waiting anxiously to watch the Qualifier of the Malaysian Grand Prix and it was a big disappointment for me when I saw Schumi under perform in the Qualifiers and then he came back with a bang and took the fastest lap time...though not the fastest for saturday's qualifier it was fast alright...now..this is when i would start talking like a kid..maybe because I love Schumi...
Then,there was the dreaded rule that came into effect..if a driver were to change the engine then he would go 10 positions back in the starting grid and that was exactly what happened...he was 4th overall but then he had to move 10 places back and started 14th on the starting grid...it was pathetic to watch the man take the no man's land position..cos that is what i call that position..and it was the same with a few other big names like Coulthard and Jacques Villeneuve.
But then again..if you were following my blogs ever since i started blogging about F1 then you might as well recall the comment i made about team renault.
That is exactly what is happening now...with Alonso taking the podium on the first and the second races and Renault with top honors for the constructor's championship...I do not know what is gonna happen to team Ferrari...and if you do not know the results still,then here goes...Giancarlo Fisichella takes the 1st position and his Renault team mate Fernando Alonso takes the 2nd. The only bright spot being Ferrari's Felipe Massa started 21st on the grid and ended the race in the 5th position with team mate Michael Schumacher coming in the 6th position just 0.6 Seconds slower than him.
Michale's brother Ralf blew his engine in the qualifier and team Toyoto was contemplating on letting him take Trulli's second car but then he did manage to get on with the race with a new engine and started 22nd on the grid but finished a decent 8th in the race just enough to earn him 1 point.
Malaysian Grand Prix was a very big disapointment for all the Ferrari fans and though it was one of the toughest of the races with a very hot and humid race condition...it went off without any serious incidents...except for the qualifier blow up of Ralf's car. With the toughest of the races behind everybody's back...its a countdown to the Melbourne Grand Prix...But i would love to see Bernie and his track architechts design more true circuits* in the future...maybe we would have one in Bangalore soon...
* True Circuits are circuits which have High,Medium and Low Speed curves...if you did not know.
