Something that I do a lot of is think! Hence this blog, to document some of the random thoughts that go through my head.
I am not gifted in any literary way, so please be gentle with your criticism.
Hope you enjoy reading some of the things I put up. :)
Finally we got a result from yore!
A McLaren in first place and a Ferrai in Second. MW however takes third place with a brilliant NR in fourth.
So the final classification is:
SV, FA and AS did not finish the race.
It is the first time that a KERS car has won a GP. Not only that, the second place car was also a KERS powered Ferrari. A good race for Ferrari after the horrific crash of FM yesterday in qualifying.
A great race!
FA pit in lap 12 as expected, but unexpectedly had a disastrous pit stop as he lost his right front wheel half way around the track. It seems the wheel was not fixed properly in the pits resulting in him crawling back to the pits. This is effectively race over for FA as he comes out a lap down on the race leaders.
Hero to Zero in 12 laps!

Not only is FA light on fuel, due to which he got the Pole position, he also seems to have some issue with his fuel pump and his right rear tyre. LH is closing in on him in 2nd place and as a result pulling away MW and KR in 3rd and 4th.
Meanwhile AS has retired from the race.

After the first lap, FA keeps the lead, with MW second and LH up to third with KR behind him followed by SV in fifth.
A major incident avoided as KR came in between the Red Bulls of MW and SV touching SV's front wheel forcing SV to back up and settle for fifth after the first corner. Yes, all this was in the first corner. Great starts by the McLarens and the Ferrari. Also, AS of Force India has to pit to repair some damage. That is effectively race over for him as he will have to work really hard to get anywhere.

In a horrific crash caused by a loose spring from Rubens Barrichello's (RB) Brawn, bouncing off the track and then hitting Felipe Massa (FM) on his helmet. This caused him to lose control and go off the track at 260 kph. Even though he was found unconscious after the crash, his foot was on the brakes which is believed to slow him down to 100 kph before he crashed.
Massa was then taken to the hospital where it was confirmed that he has fractured his skull. Inspite of the latest carbon fiber helmet and the HANS (Head & Neck Support) device, which had come to a lot of criticism by drivers a few years ago, he has suffered quite an impact on his head. It is quite scary to imagine what would have happened had he not braked hard enough or was at a higher speed. RB, one of his closest friend and fellow Brazilian, felt really sad that the cause of FM's accident came from his car. Ross Brawn said it can only be described as a 'freak accident'.
