F1 weekend!! - Recap

So I wanted to write a post about the controversial Malaysian GP but then the Chinese GP got in my way. So I decided to just do an update. I am pretty sure no one really care about moto racing or Formula1 but it is exciting, to me at least.

So..as usual I don't keep up-to-date with the technology and rules that are ever changing in Formula 1 (I definitely need to hit my friend B with all these info) but the last 3 races I noticed they do not put fuel in the cars like the previous seasons. So...this makes me wonder, are they going green (I doubt it) or do they use a 1 fuel rule, like fueling the car before it races and hopefully the team calculations take the car to the chequered flag. So if you know please bring me to light on this subject matter. XD

So lets go back to the second leg, the Malaysian Grand Prix. It was a weird podium moment because all the 3 winners didn't look happy even though they won. It was a little crazy if you ask me. The funniest thing I heard was they were comparing them to Kimi Raikkonen who if you don't know have a very icy demeanor.



If you follow F1 you know there are those times when drivers are told to halt or give way to their teammate either to help them win or try to get the people behind you to slow down by well being bait. This was one of those cases, well actually 2 cases. Anyway to keep the story short, Vettel disobeyed orders and won the race. I don't blame him. He is the champion and of course he wants to win. I think the teams should just let them race it out. Haha..same story goes for Hamilton and Rosberg but Rosberg listened and I say lost the chance to get third place. To me, its just a race. Some people went crazy over that. So whatever.

The last race was in China. That was quite an interesting race too. There was a few crash and burn, some awesome overtaking and of course my main man, Kimi Raikkonen winning 2nd place. He didn't have that great of a start but he plowed through and won second behind Lewis Hamilton. I think that's the happiest I have seen Fernando Alonso. Nothing major happened and I think Vettel made it to the top 10 (I think he was fourth).

 The Bahrain GP is on this weekend and I can't wait to watch it! I think the race is going to be a little later than the last 3 races. This year I hope to watch all the races and not miss any if I can help it. I want Kimi Raikkonen to win this year. I think it could be an amazing year for him and I am sure we will see a lot more drama when the race develops. I am team #raikkonen all the way~~!

F1 : First Race - Melbourne, Australian GP

Hey everyone! Happy St Patrick's Day! I don't really know when is St Patty's day, is it today? :P If it is, I have a green polish on one finger!!

So if you don't know (which you probably don't) I have been watching and following F1 for more than 10 years now. There was a few years when I didn't really bother with it, I think it was the years when Kimi Raikkonen 'retired' from F1. And as of last year the Iceman is back! I am super stoked for this year! I am hoping Kimi would win the title this year. I am pretty sure it will be a super tight race. This year, Michael Schumacher retired for the 2nd time. I know he came back to racing to make an impact, maybe win a few races but honestly he wasn't in the best car and in my opinion if he was in either Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes  or even Lotus, I probably think he could've won a few races last year. I will miss Schumi. I wonder why his brother, Ralf never continue racing?


This year I am going to try to share some F1 news and hopefully will be successful. I know a lot of people will think, its just awesome fast cars going around in circles but sometimes they create some awesome drama too. 



I definitely want to play that!


My dad and I watched it a few laps before he had to go out and he wanted Hamilton to win, but I got my eyes on Mr Raikkonen.



Even being a lot older when he first debut I am still in love with this man!! So my dad didn't think Kimi could win the race, but he did!!! It was super awesome!! I know there must be some rule changes for this year, and I am not up to date with all the change but I will soon hopefully. I have to contact my F1-partner-in-crime B to get all the jizz. :D

I know there are new tires or something and it seems like the lollipop man has change position. If you are wondering no, he does not eat lollipop :P but he holds a sign that looks like a lollipop in front of the cars when they stop for fuel or tire change. So when they were standing in front of the cars, there have been accidents in the past, them being hit, run over or set on fire, I kid you not. So this year the lollipop man stands on the side :P. The pitstops seems to be a little shorter this time around, I wonder if the F1 cars are going green? I wonder why they haven't thought of this yet. Like cars using solar or something...that would be pretty cool. But I guess only when it is hot and sunny out :P.



At the Australian GP all three of the winners are world champions, Vettel won the championship last year and the year before, Kimi won in the past and Alonso won too. I think this year it will be an interesting race to the end, like last year. Last year's winner was decided at the last race in Brazil. I hope this year will be just as good. I am sure Lewis Hamilton wants that glory again and Felipe Massa will be chasing that glory too.

Balls, no more balls!!

Balls have been disappointing me. Basketball, football (soccer by the way :P), Formula 1 (ok that has nothing to do with balls tho but anyway), it has all disappoint me!!

I was watching the Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nugget game with my sister earlier, and I was wondering - 'Gees did San Antonio Spurs LOST to Mavericks?' .... 'NOOooooo' *sigh*

Then early Wednesday morning, actually the night before that, my sister had a dream that Arsenal will lose against Man Utd. Yeah, yeah so Man Utd won, and I gotta say Arsenal played crappy football. *double sigh*. And I had this gut-wrenching feeling (that's what I told CLK anyway) that they are gonna lose, bad...REAL bad. He tried to give me some positive-vibes (of course I knew they were already losing!! =_=") he said 'babe, I don't think you wanna watch that game, just rest.' Hah! I knew it was worse that expected.

Formula 1 isn't any better either (ok they don't have anything to do with football) but my super-hot-cute-sexy-blue-eyed-Fin-driver Kimi Raikkonen, has failed to impressed me after 4 races. How bad is that?? Pretty bad. Oh Kimi, do try your best. You know I am behind you 100% *dreamy eyed*.

Oh, I have been looking for a nice, long, black, classy dress (with no luck). Is it that hard to find one?
