UNFAIR WAY TO LOOK AT TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS!

Filed under: CYPRUS, HEALTH, PAST, PERSONAL, SAD — by noracassandra @ 7:20 am

I have been through a car accident!!! My neck is hurt and so are my shoulders!!!

What pisses me off… how come when someone stops suddenly in front of you then give a single that he/she will be turning and because of that you end up crashing to them… and that considered your fault!!!! Same with the motorbike accident I was in over 11 years ago… I mean we were driving on the fast lain… and this slow care from the second lane (no cars in front of him) decides he would like to try our lane… so we crash into him and it ends up our fault as we hit him from behind!!!!

It’s unfair!!! :’-(

I AM A PROUD ½ KUWAITI

Filed under: FAMILY, FINLAND, KUWAIT, LOVE, PAST, PERSONAL — by noracassandra @ 7:31 am

Why do people deny their blood? Why they are not proud of the blood running deep inside of them??? Why a man comes to me with heavy Indian accent and when I ask him where is he from he says he’s from Barcelona? Why does a Bengali man say at last I’m going to my home country and when asked he says USA? When asked if he was born there he says no just moved there 3 years ago. Why when meeting a black man playing basketball and ask him so where are you from he says I’m from the states with this heavy African accent?? Why? Why is it when an Indian guy come to chat up my friend with his horrible (English wanna be) accent doesn’t simply say I am from Indian origin but I was walk the world with an English nationality?

I know why I denied my ½ blood! I was angry! I hated my dad! So I never wanted even to think of his blood that runs in me! For over 7 years I said I was ½ Finnish and ½ black (never made it clear what black) some days I was ½ English, some ½ African, and some ½ American! But never ½ Arab or Kuwaiti!

I am a proud ½ Kuwaiti! Yes I have my issues with my dad… yes I will never be friends with him! But I’m damn proud of my blood!!! My ½ blood come from a wonderful family! They are good people… ok no family is perfect with any issues… but they are good people! Yes true I do not believe in ½ of what they believe in, but who the hell I am to judge their believes??? They are a family that built them selves from scratch! Their money was not found in trees, but they worked their asses so hard to make it! They are smart people! Their children are doctors and all university graduates! They worked hard (or most of them did) to keep their family together! They are respectful and very well loved by other families! So you are damn right to get to hear me say I’m proud to carry their blood! Maybe I will never have contact except by very few of them… but I’m still proud of the rest of them!

True I walk the ground of this earth with my Finnish nationality that I’m so proud of… But that doesn’t make me deny or less proud of my ½ Kuwaiti blood!

So! Hello! My name is Nora Cassandra and I’m ½ Kuwaiti! :-D

FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPANA TELEFONICA 2009

Filed under: CYPRUS, F1, PLEASURES — by noracassandra @ 1:47 pm

So it’s F1 time Number of Laps: 66…… Circuit Length: 4.655 km…… Race Distance: 307.104 km….. Lap Record: 1:21.670 – Kimi Räikkönen last year (2008)…

Very interesting race this will be! Ferrari seems to have solved some of the technical problems at last and Massa will be starting gin P4! But the problem is that no one since 2000 (if I remember right it was Häkkinen winning after starting from P2) has won this race without being in pole position! So I will not get excited for Ferrari but hoping at least top 3 for Massa! As it is almost impossible for Räikkönen to get there from P16!

Lap 1; Massa passes Vettel, huge collide on turn one still not sure who’s involved! Seems like Toyota! Safety car is out! Lots of marshals out on track to clear up the track!

Lap 2; So from the live timing I see Trulli, Buemi, Bourdais and Sutil all out of the race! Hamilton seems to be the fastest man on track with 2:24.326… but from P15!

Lap 3; Our TV (LTV) channel goes to advertisements and just pisses me off! I see from live timing Nakajima Pits from P12.

Lap 4; Rosberg now is fastest man on track with 2:17.745. And also from the live timing it says Further examination of the reply suggest Trulli was tagged by Rosberg tipping the Toyota into spin! But I still can’t see it with all the replays! Maybe I’m just missing something!

Lap 5; Nakajima is fastest man on track now with 2:15.374… Safety car going in this lap!

Lap 6; Barrichello in first starts the racing! Alonso and Webber go into beautiful over taking and fight for P5… but seems like Webber will be keeping it for at least some time more!

Lap 7; Barrichello fast fast fast with 2 fastest laps till now! Hamilton passes Piquet for P13! Kovalainen in the other hand seems to be bit low!

Lap 8; Kovalainen has gone to pit after dropping to last place! Hi car pushed in to the garage… seems his race is over!?

Lap 9; Button is fastest man right now! 1.1 seconds down on his teammate who is in P1!! Vettel is closing up on Massa… and it’s getting me nerves!

Lap 10; Barrichello and Button trading fastest laps and we hear Button telling his teammate if he could drive bit faster!

Lap 13; we see Räikkönen and Heidfeld fighting for P9! About 0.2s what is between Räikkönen and P9!

Lap 14; Barrichello seems pulling off at last with his fastest laps! From live timing I read Alonso and Button will be going for their first pit stop in the next 5 laps!

Lap 15; Räikkönen seems to be so close to pass Heidfeld but the BMW Sauber seems to not making it any easy and keep him back!

Lap 17; LTV goes to commercials again!!! Live timing I love you!!! Not sure how to survive with out you!!! As it tells me the battle is still going on between Räikkönen and Heidfeld but no changes yet!

Lap 18; Glock pits… Button pits… Alonso in too!

Lap 19; LTV is back to the race! Just in time for me to see Räikkönen having a problem slowing down and stops! :-(

Lap 20; Massa and Vettel pit… Massa rejoins in P4 and Vettel in P5…

Lap 21; Barrichello leads again with Rosberg who didn’t pit yet in P2!

Lap 22; I see Räikkönen talking to press after this year’s new rule that the driver has to answers to questions of press after any misfortunes on track to explain what happened! Piquet Pits from P11…

Lap 24; Brown’s radio goes on telling Button that they are back to plan A and not doing plan B! Does that mean more stops for his teammate?? Kubica pits! Hamilton now in P7 :-P !!!

Lap 26; Rosberg pits from P2 and rejoins in P9! And I read from the Live timing that the reason for Kovalainen’s stopped race is the gearbox!

Lap 27; Barrichello making the gap between him and his teammate (Button) bigger! Vettel in the other hand not letting Massa relax in his P3 and pushing!

Lap 28; only Heidfeld and Hamilton who hasn’t stopped yet!

Lap 31; the Brown team getting ready for a pit! Barrichello going in for the bit and Fisichella pits too!

Lap 32; Heidfeld pits and so does Hamilton! Hamilton rejoins in P10! Kubica seems to have pushed passed Glock that ended up with a short run on the grass!

Lap 35; LTV goes once again to commercials! Live timing back to you!

Lap 36; live timing makes a very interesting statement with pointing to the battle between the Brown team mates! It will be interesting how it will develop and end!

Lap 37; LTV is back to the race! Nakajima pitting!

Lap 39; Button now is far a head in front!! And Vettel is still close to Massa trying to fight for his position! And seems will not let him relax! And Barrichello who is in P4 after his rejoin from his last pit seems tot be loosing time and ground!

Lap 40; Rely shows Massa loosing his front left wheel rim that goes flying off the circuit!

Lap 41; Vettel is pushing hard!

Lap 43; Hamilton seems to have a problem with his rear tyres!

Lap 44; Massa pits, so does Vettel and they do rejoin in same order Massa in P5 and Vettel in P6!

Lap 45; Alonso pits! And we hear the brown radio telling Barrichello that the drivers in front of him went to the pit faster than they thought! Alonso rejoins right in front of Hamilton that is not making it easy for him!

Lap 47; Kubica pits! Piquet pits too!

Lap 48; Glock pits, Button pits from lead…

Lap 49 Hamilton pits! Rejoins in P10!

Lap 50; Rosberg pits and rejoins in P6. Barrichello o pits and so does Webber! Barrichello rejoins in P2… and Webber in P3!

Lap 51; Heidfeld pits… Webber now seems to have kicked off Massa from P3 and maybe Ferrari will not be standing in podium in this race either!

Lap 52; LTV went to commercials AGAIN!!!! Live timing says Nakajima makes his third stop! Button much quicker on the harder tyres!!!!

Lap 53; still on live timing Vettel close enough to try to pass Massa! Fisichella pits from P 13!

Lap 54; Massa being told from his engineer to conserve fuel!!!

Lap 55; Fisichella pits for the fourth time! Does he have a problem?

Lap 57; I hear the Ferrari radio going on again telling Massa he is using a lot of fuel! He answers back that he needs to push for the position and so he can’t do anything! And Vettel is like stuck on his back!!! I’m thinking is it better if he settles for P5 just so he won’t need to stop again and get even further!

Lap 59; Glock chasing Hamilton!

Lap 63; Vettel passes Massa! I think he is going for the P5 just so he won’t do another spot! How come a big team like Ferrari keeps doing so stupid mistakes??? I mean for god sake they don’t know how much fuel needed till the end of the race??? :-P

Lap 65; Hamilton gets lapped by Button!!! Glad the chimp is doing worse than Massa! :-P

Last Lap; Alonso trying to over take Massa! The race finishes with Button ion first followed by Barrichello, Webber, Vettel, Alonso who took Massa over and then Massa in P6!

SOMEHOW IT FELT JUST LIKE SIMPLY RIGHT.

Filed under: BEAUTY, CYPRUS, F1, FAMILY, FOOD, FRIENDS, HOLIDAYS, LOVE, MY DAUGHTER, PERSONAL, PLEASURES, STELIOS — by noracassandra @ 8:30 pm

Oh my goodness!!! I should have been back at home in Cyprus by last Monday but as the sweet husband I have he told me to extend my holidays for few more days so I won’t come home all tired and dead!

Bahrain was more than amazing! I mean I didn’t how wonderful the people there are!! I mean I knew people in the gulf are hospitable but like this??? They shocked me off!!! :-D

So F1 talk will come soon… I’m still too tired to be talking and analyzing! :-P

Leen was wonderful host! He mother was too good to be true… he sisters were so sweet… and her brother that I meat and his wife were just amazing! I had lovely home made meals that made me thankful that I do not have someone like her mother cooking for me daily!!! I will be easily over 100kg! :P

Ala also was there… but sadly for just the race so less than 3 days! :-( I met his girlfriend AT LAST who is so sweet and talented! Oh she is a singer and an actress after all! ;) … but their friend Fahad… now he got my attentions so well! An actor too but also full of artistic views and mixed with very interesting views of life… they god my heart even though I had no time to spend with them out of the F1 track!!! :(

Then come to a wonderful man called Ahmed! Now this is a guy who got me all around the place! I don’t even know how to start thanking him!!! He started by taking me to the track and giving me a round and so much amazing info! We watched the F1 china there! I was telling him and his friends about how stupid the commenter’s on Cyprus (LTV) on the F1 are… we laughed… I was interviewed by the Bahraini sport TV… and I also got amazing pics and kind of view points of what Arab or Bahraini men think of the sport and what they are expecting this year! But Ahmed didn’t stop there… he got me all informed so well about things I always dreamed of knowing about F1… I even got to visit the pit and know ½ of the people working around the track! He also continued his sweetness out of the track and far from F1 by taking me to many places in Bahrain… and he even gave me his professional camera to use through my trip! And MAN those pictures rocked!!! :D

Then we come for Ebrahim, Ali, Fatin, Walid, Rakesh, Ammar, Imran, Mr. ma6aba, and so many more that we’m so sorry if I didn’t mention your name!!! they made me feel as if I have been living there for years… first time in my life I did not feel the rush of need to be going back home… instead the feeling was, wish Stelios and Iida were here so it would be perfect and no need to go anywhere else!

I fell in love with Don Vito! I mean the staff were amazing… the people around made you just feel like home… and to be honest I even felt as angry as Leen when our table was given by mistake to someone else if not more angry! It just felt like that was MY PLACE and my chair and other people sitting there have no feelings for the table or the couch or the chairs… I know it sounds quite sick… but it felt just RIGHT… and I still remember the staff how they were coming and apologizing because they couldn’t do anything to make the people get off our usual table… It seems they knew how much we loved the place! :D

Somehow it felt just like simply right. and it felt great! :D

Any way… now I will get to my husband who have missed me 12 days and do something like dinner and TV and some hugging and loving as he is on his way home and I have missed him!!! :D

2009 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX

Filed under: F1, PLEASURES, SAD — by noracassandra @ 11:03 am

It’s noon time here in Cyprus on 5th of April 2009 getting ready for the second race of the season… The number of laps is 56 on a circuit length of 5.543 km that makes the race distance 310.408 km… The lap record was made by Juan Pablo Montoya in 2004 with a time of 1:34.223.

So I complained to LTV last week about the commenters… so did another friend of mine who thought the older man from the 2 commenters is just horrible!!! Now I got an email back telling me:

Thank you for your email but unfortunately we cannot understand why you are attacking the two commentaries we have. Have in mind that Mr. Frixos and Mr. Vanezos have a good knowledge about F1 because in the last 3 years they were doing F1 in LTV which was taped. We can understand by changing the commentaries you were used to be watching in RIK is a big change for you but even though they were people you were shouting about also.

We believe if you give a chance to our commentaries you will be satisfied because first of all they have the knowledge and secondly they are opened to your suggestions.

Unfortunately we cannot change our commentaries as you have requested but a whole team is behind them and they will give them the support needed to improve them selves.

As we said we are opened to any suggestions so please feel free to send us any comments you have.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any more information or clarifications.

So I sent them back I am not sure who are who from the guys… but the younger guy is ok… so I can advice by changing him to be the main commenter!

And of course no answer from them and now I will have to wait and see how today will go… I hope I won’t hear something like Massa comes out of the pit in front of Massa in position 12 (when it’s should be Massa come out of the pit in front of Vettel and take P9)… yeeh those are the kind of mistakes the commenter with the good knowledge that only ever did recorded repeat shows of F1 races in past!!!

Yes!! This is me!!! I deleted you by mistake!!!

Lap 1; Rosberg, Alonso, Räikkönen had great starts… Barrichello passes Räikkönen… Kovalainen is out of the race… button passes Alonso fro P3… and Rosberg leading the race! Wow what a start!!!

Lap 2; Barrichello now is after Alonso for P4…

Lap 3; Button has the fastest lap with 1:38.217… Buemi pits for a new nose… and Kubica is out of the race… his car showed flames coming out and he did complain and said something was wrong with his car earlier!

Lap 4; Rosberg now holds the fastest lap 1:38.041 and still running fast in the lead… Barrichello passes Alonso for P4… Vettel seems to be running light!

Lap 5; button gets closer to Trulli… and I see a replay with Vettel passing Hamilton for P10… and expecting rain in 10 minutes…. And showing Glock and Webber fighting for P7 and almost touching!!!

Lap 6; Vettel trying to for P9 with Heidfeld…

Lap 7; heavy rain is expected… we hear that from Brawn’s radio…

Lap 9; Barrichello now the fastest on track… but Trulli takes it with 1:37.887 before even I could see what was Barrichello’s time! :P …. Heidfeld makes a mistake and loses control for a blink of an eye and was enough time for Vettel to pass him and for Heidfeld to drop to P11…

Lap 10; McLaren is predicting rain now on their radio…

Lap 11; Rosberg is leading and sets a fastest lap… Räikkönen passes Alonso and now runs in P5… and button makes the fastest lap with 1:37.579…

Lap 12; button is so close to Trulli now!

Lap 13; Webber passes Alonso…

Lap 14; Vettel is in the pit goes for soft tyres and 10.7s stop and rejoins in P17.

Lap 15; button records a new fastest time 1:37.555… Rosberg heads to the pit 9.7s stop and rejoins in P4 with his new set of softs!

Lap 16; Glock pits and Sutil…

Lap 17; Webber pits and stay with soft tyres and rejoins in P14. Trulli pits from lead and now button leading…

Lap 18; Barrichello makes the fastest time on track for sometime just for button to take back again for himself! Räikkönen pits and goes for wet tyres… seems like a gamble… we will wait and see!

Lap 19; Sutil makes a second stop…

Lap 20; button pits from the lead stay with soft’s and rejoins in P2… and Räikkönen going slow on his wet tyres…

Lap 21; Barrichello pits and go with soft tyres and rejoins in P4… rain drops on the camera!!! :D yeepeeee!!!!!!!

Lap 22; Räikkönen is the only one with wet tyres on track… Alonso looses control and was in very bad position where thought is he going to be out of the race!?!?!? But he makes it back!!

Lap 23; button in pit, Barrichello, Trulli, Hamilton, I mean every one… except for Räikkönen, but he is running behind because of his early gamble! :( … It doesn’t seem that early wet tyres were in right time!!!

Lap 24; we hear the McLaren’s radio saying Räikkönen’s tyres are completely destroyed… so maybe he will have to go in as well soon! Webber passes Hamilton but Hamilton fights back and takes the P6 back!!! But Webber passes him again…

Lap 25; Vettel passes Nakajima for P11…

Lap 26; Glock is doing very well and passes Heidfeld…

Lap 27; Vettel pits… Barrichello is in P3 now…

Lap 28; Barrichello passes Rosberg… Webber passes Trulli… and Hamilton pits…

Lap 29; Barrichello and Trulli pit… Glock now is running in P2… Alonso pits and so does Nakajima… and button pits from lead… Webber is in too!

Lap 30; Massa pits… and replay of Vettel passing Piquet for P10… button gets the lead as Glock pits…

Lap 31; Webber, Rosberg and Massa are in the pit… Hamilton pits… every one is going for full wet!! Fisichella spins out of the track but get back in… Vettel has stopped and his race is over!

Lap 32; button pits once again and takes the full wet and rejoins back in lead… Trulli and Barrichello is in pit… safety car is out…

Lap 33; red flag… every one heading to the grid… drivers out of their cars so the pit team could work on their cars… we hear Massa freaking out asking for his wipers as he can’t see anymore… and we hear his control team to try to relaxing him and telling him to calm down as it’s on it’s way! Seems for it to be a 10 min stop before restart… Race been suspended and most drivers are out of their cars…

If the race can’t be resumed seems ½ points will be given for the drivers who have completed 75% of the scheduled race distance. Hamilton is the one of the only few drivers still in his car. The race can’t stop before the 2 hours has passed… and seems the rain is calming down…

Less than 20 minutes left for the race… Räikkönen in his garage so I don’t know what his plan is if the race starts… other cars in grid getting moved around and seems they will continue the race! The first 2 cars will have to start 1,5 minute earlier than the rest as they are one lap a head of everyone else…

We Räikkönen out of his race suit and eating ice cream he stopped his race…

Less that tem minutes left for the 2 hours and the control revealed the race will not be restarted… the race is over and button is the one with highest points with 5 points which is ½ of the 10… and Heidfeld is second with 4 points… Glock in third with 3 points…

Been a while since I have seen a race that was stopped this fast… it was interesting but u did not want to watch just ½ a race! :(

2009 FORMULA 1 ING AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX

Filed under: CYPRUS, F1, PLEASURES, SAD — by noracassandra @ 7:58 am

It’s Sunday 29.3.2009… First race is Australian grand prix… The number of laps is 58. On a circuit length of 5.303 km… Making the race distance: 307.574 km! And of course as no one has still broke the lap record of 1:24.125 it’s still held by Michael Schumacher which he made in 2004.

My bad luck is the F1 has changed its TV channel in Cyprus… It’s now shown on LTV which is a paid channel while last year it was on Rik (TV) which was the main Cyprus free TV… The commentary was amazing on rik… Now on LTV the old man commenting sounds like a dead old man! He is really horrible and the young man with him (who is quite ok) keeps correcting his mistakes at all times… I mean for god sakes I am paying to watch this… I think the least they can do is put great commenter!!!

So as it seems the race will be very interesting! And great new surprises were shown yesterday in the qualification! Now the race will start so to the race!

Lap 1; red lights went off, the cars lounged and a horrible start for Barrichello… But great one for my favorite man (Räikkönen) and for Massa… Räikkönen who is now in 5th and Massa who is P3 now! Seems good for the red team! Heidfeld pits because of the puncture in his rear tyre… Webber pits too… and seems Kovalainen follows them!

Lap 2; seems Kovalainen having problems and might be stopping… the team still working on him!

Lap 3; Hamilton passes Fisichella and in P11 now… Button seems to be doing well in the front of the pack and keeping his lead! And yes… sadly Kovalainen is out… too bad for the Finnish man on his first race for this season!

Lap 4; fastest lap for Vettel with 1:28.999. And we hear Barrichello’s radio telling him he has damage on his left side!

Lap 5; Vettel goes faster and closes the gap between him and button… Hamilton is trying to pass Piquet for P9…

Lap 6; Button pushes and goes faster to set a new fastest best lap…

Lap 7; But Vettel is behind him pushing harder and takes back the best lap time from Button… Hamilton passes Piquet and now driving in P9.

Lap 8; Button and Vettel seem to be swapping fastest lap time… Rosberg is trying to pass Räikkönen…

Lap 9; Button is about 4 seconds leading the pack…

Lap 10; Rosberg passes Räikkönen on turn 1… Barrichello tyres to pass Räikkönen but end up touching his car and sending him to pit! Trulli pits too.

Lap 12; Massa pits and takes the medium tyre… Hamilton pits and goes for harder tyres…

Lap 13; Kubica pits and changes to medium!

Lap 14; button and Vettel are still there in the head of the pack leading the race!

Lap 15; Barrichello still carrying the damage in his front wing from touching Räikkönen’s car in lap 10!

Lap 16; Vettel closing on Button…

Lap 17; Vettel pits and goes harder tyre… Rosberg pits and seems to have a slow pit and problems with his front left tyre comes out in p12 and see Räikkönen passing him!

Lap 18; button sets the fastest lap… Nakajima hits the wall and gets out of his car and he seems ok! And safety car been asked out!

Lap 19; Barrichello pits and takes a new nose… Buemi pits and so does Glock… Button pits and stays on hard tyre…

Lap 20; safety car is out… Heidfeld pits… Piquet pits… Fisichella and Alonso pit too… and seems Fisichella forgot where his pit stop is and made it a mess causing him much longer in the pit!

Lap 21; Button leads behind the safety car and making his gap shorter with the pack behind him!

Lap 22; Bourdais pits… and race control tells the lapped cars to take over so they would take the right position they should be in behind the safety car…. it seems all Button’s hard work just went to waste and has to do it all over now…

Lap 23; Sutil pits… Hamilton reporting that lack of temperature in his new harder tyres could be a problem!

Lap 24; safety car is going back in after this lap… and we see Massa and his trick in keeping his tyres warm… :-) …. Piquet spins out of the track!

Lap 25; and the cars recharge… Hamilton passes few cars to take P11… Alonso passes Glock… and a replay to Piquet’s incident which shows he just got nervous when Rosberg came out of the pit as he thought they might touch and lost his control!

Lap 27 ; button is leading with 2 seconds now… Vettel behind him in second… Massa in P3 followed by Kubica in P4 and P 5 is Kimi Räikkönen!

Lap 29; we hear from Buemi’s radio a warning that Rosberg is closing up to him!

Lap 30; we see Button’s father in the pit sitting and watching with all his nerves!! :)

Lap 31; Button leads over 4 seconds…

Lap 32; Massa pits and takes harder tyres. And rejoins in P14 behind Fisichella…

Lap 33; Trulli pits from P6, takes harder tyres… in P13 right behind Fisichella as well!

Lap 35; Kubica is the fastest man on the track… 1:27.989… Sutil pits from P17…

Lap 36; seems Räikkönen, Hamilton and Glock all pushing hard and set personal best laps… Webber who has been not the best race in his home race. He goes in for his second pit stop!

Lap 37; Kubica is the fastest man on track in P3!!!

Lap 38; seems BMW Sauber getting ready for a pit stop!

Lap 40; Kubica pits from P3 and harder tyres for him… Räikkönen pits and harder tyres for him too… they rejoin to have two cars between them!

Lap 41; Kimi Räikkönen in 10th while Kubica in P7… but Räikkönen passes Glock after he span and now Räikkönen is in P9…

Lap 42; Buemi makes his second stop from P8. And we see Button leading the race with about 5 seconds!

Lap 43 Hamilton is closing up to Rosberg and makes us think would he be trying for P4 before he goes in for the second pit?

Lap 44; Hamilton pits from P5 and harder tyres for him… out in front of Massa…

Lap 45; Rosberg in the pit… Heidfeld pits… and Räikkönen hits the wall!!! At least he is still running!

Lap 46; Vettel pits from P2 and out in front of Barrichello… Barrichello tries to take him over but it was a lost attempt!

Lap 47; Massa has a problem… seems he is going in! Button is in the pit too!

Lap 48; Massa is pushed in the garage. He is out of the race :( …. Button still in the lead!!! And Räikkönen in P15!

Lap 49 Rosberg sets fastest lap with 1:27.706… a slow lap for button and Vettel closing up!

Lap 50; Hamilton trying hard to pass Trulli but still can’t!!! Fisichella pits… Kubica will be trying to pass Barrichello sometime soon for P3!!!

Lap 51; Glock pits! Softer tyres…

Lap 52; Barrichello pits from P3 and rejoins behind Rosberg in P5… Alonso pits…

Lap 53; Barrichello passes Rosberg for P4… but far from Kubica who is over 20 seconds in P3!!!

Lap 54; Hamilton is in 6th now after passing Glock and Rosberg! :( … (Yes I still really don’t like the guy)…

Lap 55; Alonso also takes over Rosberg for P8!!!

Lap 56; 3 laps to go. And sadly Kubica and Vettel collide when Kubica tries to take Vettel over… and both out of the race!!! :(

Lap 57; Vettel still on track on three wheels driving his car to the pit…

Lap 58; Räikkönen pits for the fifth time and seems he stays in… and Vettel couldn’t make it to the pit and stopped his car on the side of the track!

Last lap; Trulli third, Barrichello second, Button first!!! Passed the finish line! It was a sad race to Vettel that I would have liked to see him on the podium after his hard work… and very sad race for the red Ferrari… as both drivers out of the first race of the season!
