FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPANA TELEFONICA 2009
Lap 19; LTV is back to the race! Just in time for me to see Räikkönen having a problem slowing down and stops!
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
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???
Lap 65; Hamilton gets lapped by Button!!! Glad the chimp is doing worse than Massa!

2009 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX
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! 
…. 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!!! 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!
March 29, 2009
2009 FORMULA 1 ING AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX
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!

MY OPINION OF F1’S NEW CHAMPION
So now… after days of cooling off my disappointment and anger… here am writing about the F1 champion of 2008…
Lewis Hamilton… he is born in January 1985… a very young talented English formula1 driver… now I have nothing against his talent… I have nothing against him… I just don’t feel right with it… he seems fake for me all the time… there is something that can’t be touched… I‘ll explain… Kimi Räikkönen was hard headed bad loser (bad in losing) with a horrible attitude… he laid it out there for every one to see from the start… he didn’t play the good sweet Finnish guy… yes by years he learned how to control it and hide it but he still doesn’t feel fake… ok you say maybe I say that because I’m a fan… so give you another example… Alonso… a man I despised from the day he gave his stupid attitude with press about how much better he was from Schumacher and bad mouthed him in a public… but he was there with his real horrible attitude… yes he learned how to be more polite and learned how to suck up his anger and stupidity through the years… but he was never a fake… with Hamilton I don’t get that… how can a 21 years old boy have perfect answer a polite reply and right words for every single question??? How can he get so high suddenly with no flaws on his record… anything…? I mean it’s not normal!!! Even the children of the best families raised by perfect well spoken people are never this perfect at that age… time passed and he’s closing up to 24. Still perfect words perfect attitude perfect smile that never fades… but still I do like his talent with his car! Ok maybe the only ever (problem) Hamilton got in was the incident in France… but even that it was just over speeding!!! So not good enough mistake for a man in early 20s!!!
Now my biggest prob with the picture of Hamilton are the things surround him! Where should I star from… ok…
Carmen Lockhart is Hamilton’s mum she is white English… and you can find a lot of pictures of her and news of her on the net… she seems nice enough not to have anything in my opinion which is bad written about her… and frankly I just saw her picture first time like 3 months ago and then found out her name… so didn’t know the lady!!!
Dad… oh no don’t want to talk about him yet… the brother or the ½ brother… Nicolas didn’t look much about him as I just know he is younger and he suffers from Cerebral Palsy which is a condition that cause physical disability in human development… we saw him many times in the races… bless him I always loved that boy… something in him makes me feel peace!!!
Dad… oh god… yeh most know I hate this person… I hate Anthony Hamilton so much that when I see his face on the TV screen I change the channel if it’s not F1 or if is about F1 then I need to turn my face away… I mean it… something in that man…(he reminds me of my feeling when i see George Bush’s face). Any way… this guy wants to support his son… so he babysits him every race… yes we see other fathers in race every now and then showing support but this man is there in every single second… ok ok he is his manager along with his second wife Linda who helps in that… but I don’t see any pilots’ managers every single race and every single qualification on tack with them… so what’s the deal with the babysitter?? Doesn’t he think he has another son that might need bit more babysitting, help and attention??? I think this boy (Lewis) is all grown up and could take care of himself… but no… money and fame is behind this son… so the other son could just hang along behind waiting for his 5 mins every now and then!!!
Then ok I don’t and never follow F1’s pilots, mechanics or anyone else’s privet lives (dating and such)… I think your privet life and person you/he/she or they are sleeping with is none of my business or problem as long as it’s not my husband or close family member! But I was looking at this old woman… ok not old but a woman as old as 38-40 that was all the time on cameras who was standing with Anthony (Hamilton’s dad)… and I was thinking to myself I have seen this woman before somewhere… and my god took me 2 days to actually realize that was Nicole Scherzinger the lead singer from Pussycat Dolls if you know them… my god and I used to think she was dead up gorgeous… she looked like 100 years ok she looked 10 years older than what she really is… and I tell you that girl is just 3 months older than me, makes her almost 7 years older than our champion.. But who am I to judge???? I’m sure her pussycat moves helped a lot and well I don’t know if she really talented in anything else, but I know men see that alone as good enough talent!!! Yeh… I never liked her and will never like her… I call her the pussycat doll girl and if you really know what that mean… it’s a stripper!!!! As I think talents are many but she is not one… but as I said I do not care who the F1 pilot sleeps with as long as he makes me enjoy the show when he drives the car!!!
So!!! No!! I’m not happy Hamilton is the champion… I don’t think he deserved it quite yet… I wish Massa got it… I wish Button (another English pilot) or Kubica… Of course my real wish was for Räikkönen to get it but still I wouldn’t have even mind if Alonso got it rather than Hamilton!!!

FORMULA 1 GRANDE PREMIO DO BRASIL 2008
Last race of the season… 71 laps… on a 4.309 km circuit… making a distance of 305.909 km… Lap Record still held by Juan Pablo Montoya with 1:11.473 in 2004.
Starting this day with full nerves… I’ve been stressing bit too long with this race… I do not want Hamilton to win and I think all the world knows that… and that means he has to finish 6th or under… it is Brazil and Massa has won the last few races here… but it’s not enough for him winning as Hamilton can be the champion if he gets 5th place!
Massa starting from pole Trulli in second and Räikkönen in third… then Hamilton in fourth…
The rain stated in 3 min before the race… and the race was dilated 10 min giving the teams enough time to change tyres… but the rain seemed to stop and the sun is out again… this will be interesting!!
As I see there is no rain expected for next 30 min, but seems the pilots will need the standard wet tyres to start with any way… and I hear the Renault telling Alonso on the radio rain is not expected for the next 40 min!
Kubica pits after the formation lap…
Lap 1; By the turn one Massa is leading, Trulli behind him, Räikkönen, Hamilton Kovalainen follows… Vettel passes Kovalainen and is in 5th… Coulthard spins and a disaster end for his last race in his carrier… safety car is in…
Lap 3; Fisichella pits… and replay for the sad end of Coulthard’s race and also a replay for Piquet walking a way and waving to the Brazilian fans…
Lap 5; safety car is off and the race is back… Kovalainen passes Alonso just to spin and for Alonso to take back his place… and Kubica with his bad luck day out of the pit in P17 after pitting for wet tyres!
Lap 6; Massa sets a new fastest lap; Heidfeld takes Barichello for P11…
Lap 8; Räikkönen running so close to Trulli… fighting for P2… Rosberg pits takes harder tyres and front wing adjustment… Button pits…
Lap 9; Bourdais, Glock, Sutil and Nakajima pit… all seems went to harder tyres…. And replay showed Rosberg and Button almost touching on the pit exit…
Lap 10; Vettel Alonso, Webber and Barichello pit this time… and extinguisher has gone off in the Honda and foam every where!!!
Lap 11; Massa pits from lead… Kovalainen pits too and so does Heidfeld… Kubica pits too… and now Trulli is leading… Hamilton, Räikkönen and Trulli all pit…
Lap 13; Hamilton passes Trulli who almost loses control off his car soon after… Trulli span and team mate Glock and Bourdais both pass him…
Lap 14; Räikkönen seems to be giving his team mate time by running a lot slower behind Alonso…
Lap 15; Hamilton seems to be in P6 wanting to pass Fisichella who himself is one of the best drivers in such mixed up conditions!!!
Lap 16; Massa is getting farther from Vettel who is second behind him… and Alonso seems to be still with the leaders!
Lap 18; Hamilton passes Fisichella in turn one… (I am not happy)…
Lap 19; Vettel sets the fastest lap and about a second behind Massa… Glock passes Fisichella and in P6… and I hear no more rain expected as Toro Rosso talks to Vettel through the radio…
Lap 20; Trulli passes Bourdais in turn one and as a result Bourdais runs wide across the grass and rejoins in P13…
Lap 22; Vettel is the fastest man on track again… Glock closing on Hamilton (go Glock go!!!)…
Lap 23; Vettel not giving up… and seems keeping up with Massa…
Lap 25; Kovalainen now in P9… and pushing on Trulli for P8…
Lap 26; the track is almost fully dry and seems no rain expected for the rest of the race!
Lap 27; Hamilton pulls away from Glock…
Lap 28; Vettel pits… Kovalainen passes Trulli and in P8… and just passes Fisichella right after and is in P7…
Lap 29; hear the Renault telling Alonso that he is racing Massa…
Lap 32; Hamilton sets the fastest lap…
Lap 33; Glock sets a new fastest lap… this race is amazing!!!
Lap 34; Button pits from P14… Massa sets the fastest lap and now 5s in front of Alonso…
Lap 37; Glock pits… and took quite a long time… over 14s… he fuelled for finish and went out on harder tyre and rejoins in P14… now got the answer on live timing the Toyota had a problem with getting the fuel hose on which delayed him slightly!
Lap 38; Ferrari ready to stop… Massa pits from lead and Alonso is leading… Massa takes 9.4s and rejoins in P4 on harder tyre… Fisichella pits and so does Bourdais…
Lap 40; McLaren is ready for stop… Alonso pits from lead Hamilton pits… gets out after an 8.9s stop…
Lap 41; Barichello pits…
Lap 42; Rosberg pits…
Lap 43; Kovalainen pits… 8.8s and harder tyres… Heidfeld pits… Räikkönen pits too…
Lap 44; Trulli pits…
Lap 45; Button passes Barichello and in P11… Sutil pits…

Lap 54; Vettel closing up to Hamilton…
Lap 56; Vettel is now 1s behind Hamilton…
Lap 58; Hamilton and Vettel have exactly the same pace now… and I hear from the BMW radio saying expected rain in 10 min…
Lap 60; Räikkönen closing up on Alonso…
Lap 62; still no sign of rain on the track… and only 1.2s now between Räikkönen and Alonso… a fight for P2 will start soon as it seems…
Lap 63; Vettel is on Hamilton’s tail… less than 1s between them…
Lap 64; reports of rain falling… Nakajima is in pit for the wet tyres…
Lap 65; Fisichella pits and takes standard wet…
Lap 66; Räikkönen is right on Alonso’s behind… Barichello and Rosberg pit… Vettel almost passes Hamilton and Kovalainen pits…
Lap 67; Webber pits, Alonso, Räikkönen are in too… Hamilton and Vettel right after…
Lap 68; Massa pits from lead and with 5.5s stop is out back in lead… Hamilton still in 5th… but will Vettel be a problem to for him?? (I HOPE SO)…
Lap 70; Hamilton in 7th… Vettel passed him… if he doesn’t get his P5 back the champion is going to Massa!!! My fingers are crossed… my heart is going to jump out off my chest… come on Vettel… that’s all I am thinking of…
Last lap; Massa!!! OH NO!!!! No…. F*^%^*$#^*… NO… Hamilton passed Glock right in the last seconds… oh no… I think I will cry… my god why!?!?! I hate this little boy and his stupid babysitter!!! Hearing Massa’s voice crying through his helmet is simple heart break!!! I don’t think I’ll be in mood for anything tonight… I’m going to bed after this! Hamilton is the champion!!!
We have also a goodbye to give to David Coulthard as this has been his last race fore the F1… a long carrier of 246 races and 535 points to his name and as described the most successful pilot that never won the title!

2 HOURS LEFT FOR FIRST PRACTICE
2 hours left for first practice…
It’s the last race of the season… we will have Lewis Hamilton from McLaren with 94 points and Ferrari’s Felipe Massa with 87 points going head to head… all what the English boy (Hamilton) needs to get the championship is finish the race on Sunday in fifth if our man (Massa) wins!!!
I will not hide my believes of Hamilton taking the championship for 2008… but I will neither hide my dislike to this babysitted boy… no complains about his amazing talents… but keeping his dad to baby-sit him in every race just turns my stomach and makes me really not like him… so I will not say I do not wish him crashing into a wall, loosing and engine or retiring from the race because of a stupid technical or own mistake!!! I wish he will not even finish the race!!! My wish is for the Brazilian (Massa) to stand up to receive the championship in his country… as if you don’t know, next year the formula one season will end in Abu Dhabi and this might be the last time for a long time for the season to end in Sao Paulo… and the Brazilian Ferrari guy deserves it after all these years!!!

WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A NEW FRIEND…
So this post has to be dedicated to a new… not sure if I can still call her new… but well a fresh friend of mine!!!
Leen… she is from Bahrain… she didn’t have the easiest life… she grow up to be amazing woman! Now I was shocked how much we did have in common… but she made me smile…. I got a lovely (first ever) golden Guess purse from her for my birthday party… like the girl didn’t even know if we were going to be real good friends and she was already spoiling me… well that and 2 tops and lovely time with her made our friendship even stronger… I mean she didn’t even have to get me anything… I liked her from fist time I met her on facebook… total bitch just like me!!! So here we were great friends to be!!!
Then we kept in touch… as she had to go back to her country… (Soon I’ll find the way to keep her as I’m planning to keep Emmi here but they don’t know)!!! But she always finds a way to put a smile on my face… she would send me a text message or leave a comment after few days of cut off that makes me crack up a huge smile… and it feels nice!!! She has this sweet big smile that makes her look like a little kid, but still makes her look so much like a woman… she is amazing!!!
Now last night… I was just running through first day of flu… you know little headache, little throat ache, little pain in the body… well you get the picture… I get this message on my facebook saying I think I have some news that will make the flu disappear!!! She continues… I asked a friend of mine if he can get you a free ticket to the F1… he got it… and it’s not a normal F1 ticket… you will join the marshals in the zone!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! Yes that was my reaction… I couldn’t believe getting a ticket to the F1 for free, but also to join the marshals in the inside??? Oh my god!!! So didn’t sleep well… yes dreaming of F1… and here I am today still excited like a little girl!
That was bit about a new friend of mine! LEEN!
Now another news in the other hand… I cut my long hair short!!!
October 19, 2008
2008 FORMULA 1 SINOPEC CHINESE GRAND PRIX
Number of Laps: 56, Circuit Length: 5.451 km, Race Distance: 305.066 km, and Lap Record: M Schumacher (2004) – 1:32.238
Hamilton is starting from the pole position, Räikkönen second, Massa in third, Alonso in fourth and Kovalainen in fifth… it’s a very stressing race… If Hamilton finishes first and Massa by any chance drops under the fifth then the championship will be in Hamilton’s hands from today already! And well that is for sure what I don’t want!!!
We hear that there could be rain in sometime after the race starts from the BMW Sauber’s radio… and as it seems computers in the race saying there is 40% chance of rain during the race!!!
Lap 1; Kovalainen passes Alonso and almost passes Massa… just for Alonso taking back his position in fourth back right before getting to the second lap… Kubica moved from 11th to 8th. Heidfeld from 9th to 6th. And the Toyota who’s gone off th track in the begging gets to pit…
Lap 2; Hamilton leading with 1second… Webber passes Glock and in P11… and seems Bourdais fell from 8th to 18th… new nose for the Toyota…
Lap 4; Trulli is back in the pit climbs out of the car…
Lap 5; Hamilton leads with over 2 seconds… doesn’t seem that the Ferraris will be catching up anytime soon…
Lap 6; Bourdais passes Sutil now in P17…
Lap 7; Webber passes Barichello and runs now in P10…
Lap 8; Räikkönen seems to be pulling up and getting faster… he is keeping in touch with Hamilton while Massa seems he can’t keep up… and there seems Kovalainen might be having a prob… but still not clear!
Lap 9; Rosberg is stuck behind Glock fighting to take P12… Hamilton fastest lap again…
Lap 10; Webber passes Piquet… and Räikkönen takes over the fastest lap…
Lap 11; seems the sot tyres warmed up on the Ferrari at last… Räikkönen seems to be catching up and taking one fastest lap after another… from over 4 seconds between the Finn and Hamilton to 3,7seconds…
Lap 13; Rosberg passes Glock finally… Webber pits goes with softer tyre in 7.6s… Hamilton and Räikkönen almost the same pace now… and Hamilton takes the fastest lap back from Räikkönen…
Lap 14; Massa is getting faster…. Replay for Piquet’s off track brief incident in the final turn… seems Ferrari ready for a stop…
Lap 15; Massa pits… Alonso right behind him… Massa stays on softer tyre and Alonso changes to harder… Alonso rejoins right behind Piquet and Massa rejoins in P7… Hamilton pits…
Lap 16; Räikkönen right behind Hamilton in the pit… Hamilton stays with harder tyre and in a 9.4s stop… Räikkönen goes harder tyre in a 9.3s stop… Rosberg pits… Kovalainen leading… Replay explains Sutil’s back in pit as seems smoke coming from the back of his car…
Lap 17; The first stops are playing in Hamilton’s advantage…
Lap 18; Heidfeld makes first stop… stays harder tyre and takes 8.3s in pit… and rejoins in front of Glock.
Lap 19; Kovalainen pits from lead… 10.3s and harder tyres for the Finnish… Vettel pits and keeps harder tyre in a 10.7s stop…
Lap 20; Barichello pits…
Lap 21 Massa still seems to be in the back not catching up with the leader, I’m not sure the soft tyre was a good choice for him…
Lap 22; Räikkönen is getting faster than Hamilton… And Renault telling Alonso that Kovalainen has more gas and will run at least 6 laps longer than he would…
Lap 23; it’s showing that Kubica is taking the chance and might be going for the one stopper on this race!!! Very difficult if that’s his plan! Button P12… Hamilton seems to have a good adjusts on the front wing and easing away from Räikkönen…
Lap 24; Bourdais pits.
Lap 25; Piquet pits from P6… Massa’s speed seems to be improving…
Lap 26; Kubica pits… stays on harder tyre in a 6.7s stop… that means he is a 2 stopper!
Lap 28; Räikkönen is getting closer to Hamilton…
Lap 29; Coulthard makes his first stop from P9… Fisichella pits too.
Lap 30; Räikkönen is half a second closer to Hamilton because of the traffic that slowed Hamilton a little!
Lap 31; Räikkönen hits traffic… Now he slowed down while Hamilton got his act together…
Lap 32; Nakajima finally makes his stop which seems to be his only stop… Webber is in the pit also… Bourdais is in P14 after passing Coulthard…
Lap 33; Glock is the last man to stop… Hamilton leads now 8s…
Lap 34; Kubica is in P7 now… and we hear Renault or the radio telling Alonso to push more… and Alonso doesn’t disappoint them and pushes to get a better personal lap…
Lap 35; McLaren ready for stop… the plan must have been for Hamilton to go in, but Kovalainen’s front right tyre punctured and it was Kovalainen in pit… rejoins the race in P17…
Lap 37; Alonso pits from 4th takes softer tyres in a 7.8s… Massa pits and take the harder and gets out after a 7.5s stop and rejoins in fourth…
Lap 39; Hamilton and Räikkönen pit… both change to softer tyres… Piquet makes his second stop…
Lap 40; Heidfeld pits from P2… Hamilton leads… Bourdais and Rosberg pit…
Lap 41; Kubica pits…6.2s stop and takes the softer and rejoins in 7th… and we see the gap between Räikkönen and Massa getting smaller… he will have to give his position to Massa for the points…
Lap 42; Vettel pits, Kovalainen makes up to P16…
Lap 43; Massa is very close to Räikkönen who will not make it hard for his team mate to pass him…
Lap 44; Button makes his second stop…
Lap 45; Kovalainen and Webber fighting for P15… and Nakajima and Bourdais fighting for P13…
Lap 48; the game has to played right… as it’s not allowed any more to be given your position to any one even if it is a team mate… so that is what taking Massa a long time to pass Räikkönen with now is less than 2s close…
Lap 50; Finally Massa passes Räikkönen… Kovalainen pits for third time and park in the garage…
Lap 51; Alonso is closing up on Räikkönen…
Lap 54; Alonso sets a personal best lap as trying to chase the podium!
Final lap; Hamilton leads and seems to have slowed himself down so no chances for any accidents… will he be the champion of 2008???
Hamilton in first, second Massa, third Räikkönen and Alonso in fourth… and Kubica finished in 6th which means he is out of the title!!!
