F1 racing
I never know watching F1 racing can be so exciting!!Last night, I just witness the Championship of Spain's Fernando Alonso in European Grand Prix. He drove a McLaren and he won the F lor..
Very interesting Match.
Throughout the race, the rain kept pouring with stops here and there.
Within the first half an hour of the race, only 4 laps out of 60 laps were covered, and around 5 cars went out of course!! Meaning, those cars were out even b4 10% of the race..
..
The interesting bit comes in during the second last LAP>> Ferrari was overtook by McLaren around the bent at the very crutical moment!!
Ferrari was very "bu shuang" at the end, even during the Trophy giving ceremony because McLaren bumped his car during the overtook..But too bad. Champion is still the champion. He didnt give a dam to the runner-up!!
haha.
And guess what? They were once from the same team..Now rival..
..
The whole race lasted more than 2hours, excluding the half an hour delay due to the stupid rain.
..
the results were as follows:
Positions after 60 laps of 60.
1. Alonso (McLaren)
2. Massa (Ferrari)
3. Webber (Red Bull)
4. Wurz (Williams)
5. Coulthard (Red Bull)
6. Kubica (BMW Sauber)
7. Heidfeld (BMW Sauber)

..
Lap 60: That's it. Alonso holds on to take his third victory of the season for McLaren. Hamilton finishes his frantic race in ninth, and out of the points for the first time in his career.
..
Lap 57: Alonso leads and is now 2.4 seconds ahead of Massa. If he goes on to win then he will close the gap on team-mate Hamilton to two points at the top of the championship.
..
Lap 56: Massa and Alonso are neck-and neck-now.
..
Lap 54: And there is a real battle between Massa and Alonso for the lead now.
.
Lap 52: It is raining now on certain parts of the track but Kovalainen is 87 seconds off the lead so surely he can't make up too many more places. --Booo
.
Lap 51: Kovalainen says it is just starting to drizzle but no real rain yet.
..
Lap 48: Hmmmm we might get some more drama afterall as more rain is predicted for seven minutes time. The crowd are hastily putting on their rain coats.
..
Lap 42: Massa leads Alonso by six seconds at the front of the field but the double world champion looks like he is closing on the Ferrari. -- Beware the Alonso!
..
Lap six: The safety car remains out. Heidfeld comes in to put on intermediates instead of full wets - race leader Winkelhock is already on full wets.
.
1335: The cars restart under safety car conditions. And it's started to rain again. -- Wah lao!
.
1330: There are a handful of drivers who won't be back on the track and they are; Vitantonio Liuzzi (Toro Rosso), Scott Speed (Toro Rosso), Nico Rosberg (Williams), Adrian Sutil (Spyker) and Britain's Jenson Button (Honda). -- So Sad. Blame the rain ya?
.
Lap four: At the end of lap the race is red-flagged. They will line up behind the safety car for a restart, once the terrible weather has cleared. --Rain again..
..
Lap one: Dramatic start to the race. Lots to say but first of all, Hamilton suffers a left-rear puncture.
The conditions are causing chaos and the two BMW Saubers have collided.
Alonso and Hamilton both in pits to change tyres.
Raikkonen tries to get into the pits but misses and he is still out on the slicks as the rain falls harder. Utter chaos.
..
1303: The rain is falling harder now and the race is off.

But wonderful race for others.
