Horrible start for the RED'S!!

F1 is back!! and the first race kicked of at Melbourne Grand Prix Circut, Albert Park. What an awful race! how awful?? so awful that Ferrari got 0 points!!! and Hamilton got poll!!

I wonder why the race was so jinxed! only 8 cars remained towards the end, witm Kimi retiring due to engine failure. Was it because transmission rules were changed? and the drivers were not used to the challenging corners of the track?? who knows...it only means one thing though...DRIVERS you need to turn on your skills full on!!!

Some highlights. Good and Bad:
1. Same as mentioned above..only 8 cars finished the race!!! when 22 started!

2. Kimi from 11th place gets to 8th and soon he is racing behind Kovalainen ready to take over for second place ...he does ..and bam! too sharp so he goes into the gravel, without smashing into the wall he continues at the back of the pack in 11th place AGAIN!! he continues driving and just as he is to over take Glock...he makes another mistake and he swerves off again! poor guy..wonder what was wrong! finally in the end as he tried his best and pushed the car to get back into a decent position...nothing worked ,the car failed him..he had to retire so that Ferrari could get new gears and an engine without incurring penalties for the next race.

3.Race kicks off and Massa spins and he looses his spot. Later on he collides with Coulthard...and boy did Coulthard get pissed! as the commentator said his 'colourful' language says it all! and his car was damaged real bad! However Massa speeds on without problems at first but soon retires and pays the price for colliding.

4. The safety car came out 3 TIMES!!! yup 3! commentator made a good point yet again ' cars were dropping like flies' on that day. And two out of the 3 times the safety car came out, Kimi had a chance to redeem himself, but he failed both times! I was jumping up and down by this time!

5. Barrichello nearly injured one of the pit members, all thanks to the lollypop man who lifted the lollypop up tooooo fast! wooosh! the fuel pipe came out and the pit crew went wham! on the ground. No worries he survived.To make matters worse, poor Barri got a penalty for the pit stop he made when the mishap happened was too soon after the safety car came out..he was in 4th!!!!! but thanks to the penalty he was behind Kimi in 8th when he rejoined. Than they said he(Barri) ran a red light when coming out of the pit lane!! what is wrong with honda's communication!?


6. Towards the end of the race Glock goes for a movie stunt material/James Bond movie worthy crash! wham! into the curb...lifts off the ground and bounces nicely back on the track hard. His car was in bits!! debry everywhere! he is soooo lucky he did not spin over! poor guy was shocked beyond belief I am sure, having been shaken that bad!

7.The new Frenchy(Allez France!!!) Bourdais was racing beautifully!but thanks to his car (sad to say it was a Ferrari engine) that failed on him, he had to retire too!! "Mais tu conduit tres bien Bourdais! ma felicitations!!!" Kubica was racing well too, till the teams stratergy failed and the car zonked out.

8. The funniest and awesome-est takeover sequence..hahahahaa happened. After being at each others necks for quite a few laps,Kovalainen(Mclaren's new driver who took over Alonso's place) takes over Alonso (the camera immediately zooms into the Mclaren booth,ppl were clapping and cheering) BUT.. Alonso over takes just mere seconds later!!(they did not show the Mclaren team's reaction this time) you would have had to see it to believe how good it was and how funny!!

9. And of course Rosberg and Heidfeld did awesome jobs!!! showed skills! They deserved to be on that podium! they stuck it out good!


And while all this was happening on the track throughout the race do you think Hamilton knew anything!!?? no way!!! he was leading from start to finish!! he was driving in his own world in his own race!!! DAMN!!
