KIMSTER ROX DOWN UNDER!!!

Wat a start to the 2007 season!!! The most exciting n at the same time the most boring starting race I’ve ever seen. Exciting for the fact that Lewis Hamilton lived upto the hype he was given and he did even better than that!!! Taking a chance on the left and losing to Kubica and then seeing a gap on the right, took the favor and slingshot his way past the illustrious team-mate who happens to be a double time world champion!!! Just awesome!!! Even better – He had Alonso trialing him almost all the race. The frikking fast BMW’s were on light fuel loads!!!Way to go Hamilton. Hope Mclaren doesn’t spoil his talent with unreliable cars and team-orders for Alonso.

Now back to the man who gave THE finger to his critics once and for all!!! I have always said KIMI is much much faster than Alonso and Schumi given he is driving a superior car. Now he did just that. The F2007 seems to be miles ahead with the seamless quickshift and the much much improved aero compared to other motors on the grid. He had a dominant race right from the start. In the first 5 laps Kimi was able to open up the gap to Heidfield by 6 seconds. That’s pretty awesome. But Kimi is still the same Kimster he used to be. He went off the road once – later apologised it was his mistake – cos he was watching another car on the track!!! Hope Todt has some good spanking left for the Iceman to behave – both on and off track.

People favorite Massa had his bad luck run wild again in the season opener!! He has started 4 times before this race in Melbourne. Thrice crashed out. Once scored a tenth. But today he started at the back and climbed back to 6^th by the end of the race. If it was not for Button who was holding both Rubeno and Massa for a long time, we could have witnessed a good dog-fight between Massa and Fisi. The less I talk about Button, better it is for his reputation. I strongly recommend him to quit racing and go do some prediction stuff for F1 as he is really good at that!!

The best part of the race was Alonso!!! Fernando was fighting to stay on the top. No… not with Ferrari. The Ferrari was not even in his sight!! It was Nick Heidfield’s BMW which was tormenting him with a light fuel load. And to add more to his woes Hamilton was already up there in front, driving a perfect stunner race like a pro. If it was not for the BMW’s wrong decision to load lightly, He would have never passed the car. The BMW looked like a beast covering ground faster than ever. Mario Theissen was right in saying they are the 3^rd best team in F1. Renault was no where in the picture. And poor Hamilton had to go thro the same Rubeno phase in letting his more illustrious Teammate pass thro. The pit stop was a calculated slow one. Hypocrites!!! Atleast Ferrari was blatant and outspoken about the team orders. But this one was too obvious. Why would a team so perfect and professional like Mclaren falter in a pitstop on a car that’s been running strong in second and allow a 8 second gap to close and let Alonso thro??? Simple crap!!!

Hope Kimster keeps his run going for long in the stunning F2007. Now the poor thing Massa has to keep up to the pace of Kimi and stay on top, close to him. Else Jean Todt will choose to help out the more performing and highest paid driver of F1!!! If Todt decides to go with Kimi in the later part of the season, then Massa will be on his own. Hope to see the Ferrari drivers fighting for position. Its been long since we saw Gilles Villenuve and Didier Pironi’s super driving and fights in the Schuderia!!!

Now to the tech details of F2007. The first main difference is the Front and Rear wings. I had told before that these modifications force the car to take the corners smooth and fast like never before. Kimi was putting very less inputs to the steering and the car was perfectly balanced on the tarmac. The only problem that the F2007 seems to have right now is the seamless quick shift transmission!!! Looks like a very very fragile unit compared to the former steptronic transmission. The new shark fin vents and 3^rd outlet for cooling the transmission kit seems to be a very wise choice. Overall a perfect balance!!!

Even though Kimi wasn’t pushing hard to get his pace thro the race, I suspect there might be problem all around the grid, let alone Ferrari in Sepang. Sepang is a very hot engine-consuming track. Needless to say the gear changes are more than any other race which multiple straights and numerous corners. Hope Kimi and Massa cruise thro the race in Sepang.

PS: Micheal called Kimi before the podium presentation. Quite funny remark from Kimi given his Icecold nature. Also Kimster hasn’t grown up yet!!! He signed in for a snowmobile race in Finland after the Bahrain testing under a false name and won!!! Only to be found out by Ferrari later and blasted by Todt!!! All said and done KIMSTER roxx.
