STORIE =]
Monday, October 11
Wad a race it was at Suzuka on Sunday. To start things off, both qualifying and the race was held on the same day, a historic first in F1, as the track was hit by typhoons on Saturday. Qualifying was pretty exciting, the track was half-wet, half-dry, seeing the cars lapping the wet parts in dry-weather tyres was amazing. Some drivers spun at the wettest section, the Casio Triangle, and ended up at the back of the grid for the race.
Michael Schumacher led from pole position and won the race outright by 20+ seconds from brother Ralf. Brit Jenson Button completed the top 3 finshers, and effective sealed 2nd place in the constructors' championship for BAR. Not too many incidents in this race, the most notable one was Barrichello crashing his Ferrari into Coulthard's McLaren, taking both drivers out of the race. The most interesting was definitely Mark Webber retiring from the race as his butt was being burnt in the car. Due to the lack of proper running before the race, the race engineers set up Webber's car too low, and the car was constantly rubbing with the tarmac, creating the heat felt by Webber in the cockpit. It was definitely a hilarious moment. Tribute to Toyota's Olivier Panis also, who had driven his last F1 race at Suzuka. He didn't perform well but lets not forget his contribution to F1 during his years in this sport.
Here's wad race winner Michael Schumacher had to say after the race:
“This was a historic day for Formula 1, taking pole and the win on the same day. It was certainly exciting, but I think I prefer the old system! This one is quite stressful for the engineers and mechanics. We wanted to do well for Bridgestone in their home race to thank them for all their efforts. The fact that I did not do well in China, certainly helped my qualifying in terms of when I made my run in pre-qualifying. It was clear to us that we would have a strong race pace, but after the start, I had Ralf in my mirrors for quite a while and the gap between us was not growing as quickly as I had expected and he was certainly hanging on. Because there had been no running yesterday, it was hard to understand what the other teams’ race strategies would be and before the race, I was concerned about this. But in the end, it all worked out fine and I had a trouble free race.”
Now back to my life, i think i'm in deep shit cos i have been targeted. There's this infamous desperado in school whom i would name her N. She's acting pretty strangely to me recently and i think she's taken a fancy on me. Yea its probably a good thing but now that A levels are coming and i'm not veri sure if i like her as well.
