Malaysian Grand Prix

How much do 4 soft tyres cost?
Definitely not more than precious championship points which Ferrari has yet to gain any I reckon. And in order to scrimp on them plus of course overconfidence on their part, Massa retired in Q1, 16th on the grid position. Well nevertheless, Massa managed to change things and he climbed to the top 10 positions on the grid. He said that the rain would be like lottery, a chance, a hope to change the situation, so we prayed hard for rain. But what came was a storm! And the red flag was waved for the race to be suspended with 23 laps to go. Only never to be restarted again. Tada all hopes were dampened, Massa ends up 9th with no points at all. Is this fate or what?

Raikkonen hit top 5 during the first part of the race, but he landed up 14th in the end. A big joke too. He was so certain that the race would never be resumed that he changed into his polo, bermdas and slippers and got out to get ice-cream while the others were still waiting patiently in their vehicles, refusing to budge. Hahaha that was quite hilarious.

Despite all that, it was an really exciting race in the front, just that it ended abruptly with the least exciting results. None whom I support finishes with championship points. Massa, Vettel, Nakajima, Alonso. How sad. :( Haha but I wonder if Rosbeg is happy with his 0.5 pt, it's really hard to decide how to feel when you're in that position. But oh well, 0.5 is better than none.

Ham Ham is an expert in winning, but he hasn't learned anything about losing, has he?

"I am not a liar or a dishonest person. I am a team player. Every time I have been informed to do something I have done it."

That was just another lie. What about then when he refused team orders to let Alonso pass him in Hungarian GP 2007? It simply shows how much integrity he has in him, having allow himself to be manipulated by the team when in previous incidents, he showed that he has the ability to defy orders. "Lying world champion", "Lying for a podium", "Pinocchio"- I can't decide which one sounds the worst for a headline, well maybe he can.

Enough of the F1 craze, off to have dinner and start on the pile of chinese homework. I shall buck up because passing my own Mother Tongue by mere 3 marks is not just having to stand the teacher expressing his disappointments, but a big disgrace on my part. Especially when I have already given up Higher MT, this kind of results should be the least expected.
