Nurburgring Circus!!!!
My heart went out for THE ICEMAN!! Boy-o-Boy... what a disaster.. that too in the very last lap. I was expecting the tire to go flat but never thought that the suspension would break and come off the chasis. Poor Kimi... He was scorching the German Track some 2 or 3 laps before and then a spectacular crash. Even the crash came out in a great style. He was going on a prodigal reverse gear with the back wheels locked at 200 MPH.. that was close to 320 KMPH... Button had a superb miss.. else the 5 weekend old BAR would've never finished. Nevertheless it wouldnt have made any difference to the British Team.
Coming back to Kimi... The incident was due to the Michelin failure. Well, now the onus is on Michelin again. Bridgestone's are doing well for the past two races. The Tyre was hit somehow.. most probably the car went over the debris somewhere... the debris must've scrubbed the tyre at one point.. which led to unbalanced pressure and the vibrations. Man... imagine sitting on a Jolting Machine moving at 300 kmph.. Man our ICEMAN did show a gritty performance yesterday. The Mp420 was scorching the tarmac once again until the unfortunate tyre blst. I had predicted him to win the race long before it started.
Back to the Podium... after 6 long races.. Rubeno was at his best. The car was simply flying off the road. The daring overtaking move on Liuzzi was a sight to watch. He pulled it off cleanly. Liuzzi had no clue about the Ferrari until it went past. That left Montoya scarmbling behind the Redbull for quite a long time until Liuzzi went in for pits.
Our KING.. was simpy superb. Started from 10th in the grid. Pushed to 17th at the first corner and then finished the race at 5th. That was sheer Micheal Magic!!! If he had not been pushed off in the first corner there was a great chance for him to finish off in the podium. He was on the limits right from the first lap. 14th after 1 lap... 11th after 2nd... and 9th after 3rd lap.. that was some warning to others who discriminate Ferrari. That race pace is stronger than any other team. They will be back... The scarlet fever would grip the podium soon...right after Montreal n Indianapolis!!! (My friend Badhri is going for the INDY race... sheesh... have fun da.. next year i hope i would be there too..)
To the backpacks.. Jordan finished!!!! and what a fight it was between the teammates!!! Narain and Tiago were passing each other at every oppurtunity provided. It is sad thought that the small error in hitting the apex in one of the corners made Narain go offline.. and gave a chance for Tiago to pass him. Their tyres were working perfectly too.. i did see a lot of twitching in the qualifying session from narain. But i think that was due to the Electronics and not the tyres.Bridgestones are delivering!!!
Qualifying changed alright. But it still sucks according to me... i still love that low on fuel, multiple shot qualifying that used to be there like 2 years before. Man... it was a sight to see MS come out exactly at half-time.. scorch the asphalt and wait for someone to break the time set. Which has happened only a few times. And that was the time Mclaren had MIKA... another hot head who challenged MS quite a few times. I want the old format to be back!!!!
Alonso... a fortunate win. But it was a tough race. He did fine by holding your car in the first corner. Ralf hit the back of R25 and flew into the gravel .. but it wasnt his mistake alone. I feel Alonso is being given a lot of chances. He should've been penalised for his move on Webber the second time in Monaco. The stewards turned a blind eye!!! The Iceman will be back.. and Ferrari and MS will follow suit soon... its gonna be one hell of a season. Tyaga... looks like your predictions might come to an end!!! Your king is def gonna be de-throned!!!

If the spectacular crash at the Nurburgring was so great, I think you'd have forgotten about the 1989 fight of Aryton Senna and Alain Prost at Monaco, when it was a total down pour and the cameras could not spot 10 meters from their lens. Senna was second and with absolutely no visiblity he overtook Prost and was defying the laws of physics when the race was called off due to the hell of a weather. And also the race when Mika Hakkinen raced Schumi and when in the last lap one of then crashed out about a couple of hundred meters from the finish line.
hey...great description of the race...even the last one too....
ahem...and by the way....iceman?...champion?...i know that guy is better than alonso...but that was the status even last year...frankly the mclarens r just not consistent enough....hope he comes second behind alonso........
