The Rain Men!!!

What a race!!! Every driver proved why they are the pilots of F1. Not even our own NK was left behind. He proved his adroitness of handling a F1 car. All this happened cos of one simple reason. The CIRCUIT. The Spa-Francorchamps circuit is one of the oldest n legendary circuits in the calendar. It has proved to be a hunting ground for MS. He started his F1 career here. He had his first win here. And most of all, it was this circuit which gave him the name ‘THE RAIN MASTER’.

Well, leaving the past as it is, MS was too good to watch on the wet slick tarmac with a great amount of control over his car. If the idiotic Sato hadn’t rammed into the F2005, he would’ve had a podium finish for sure. I can bet my life on it. Even JPM wasn’t left behind. He had his 3rd successive crash to spoil the party for Mclaren. Cant say anything about the incident as the cameraman missed the incident. Cant blame him too. Too much was happening around in the circuit.

Kimi scorched the tarmac once again. If anyone can stand up to the records of MS, its gonna be the ICEMAN. No one else. With a possible Ferrari switch in 2007, he will be invincible for a long time!!! He was the quickest… using all the road at turns… keeping the car at its limits… he is the man to look out for in the future. Ofcourse, if he stays long unlike his compatriot Mika.

Another lucky outing for Alonso. Nothing to comment. Fisi.. is a bad luck magnet for sure. He hit the curb at 200 MPH n hit the barrier. For the second time this year. Lots of tyre changing made the narrow unusual pitlane busy all the time. Don’t know why the drivers went into a frenzy about changing the tyres to DRY SPEC even when the track spraying water all over. Only reason I could think of – Too soft INTERMEDIATE n WET tyres from MICHELIN??? Bridgestone WET tyres were clearly the strongest.

A bit about NK… Man!!! This guy has strong nerves!!! I was dazzled by the picture for a minute.. with amazement. The Jordan Toyota overtook two cars, and was challenging Jac’s Sauber. And just after Eau Rouge hairpin both cars were wheel to wheel. Jac’s a tough man to pass n he is a former world champion. He closed the gates at the end of the straight.. and guess what… NK went into the grass… hopped twice like a frog cos of the access road lying across and came back at the other side of the track. And he was in front of the Sauber… and the most amazing thing was he opened up a gap right after getting in front to an empty road. Where did the Jordan find that much power??

Okkie… about the news… Toyota n Williams are switching back to Bridgestone tyres next year. Redbull has bought Minardi and going to rename it as REDBULL AMERICA.. Scott Speed might take the wheel for that team. Redbull’s are getting Ferrari power in 2006. And surprisingly staying on with Michelin. That’s it for now… will catch up soon after Interlagos. I just wish it rains there!!!
