I scream for F1

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

Ah, it’s barely 2006, but I am already looking forward to the new season of F1 racing! New rules, new teams (or rather, new titles of the old teams where they had switched partners: sponsors, engines, etc. Too many to remember for my little head ;> ) What-so-ever, there will be four ‘new’ teams next year!), new qualifying rules… ugh, it’s all cool! Oh well, for better or worse? I can’t be quite sure about that, until the first race in Bahrainon March 12, 2006.

It’s cool that the TYRES RULE will be adjusted back to the old style–unlimited tyres changing rule! More drama to watch in the pit-stops, like the good old years! Poor mechanics, in 2005, where they didn’t have the chance to put their talent, and all the hard works behind scene (where they had zillion times of pit-stop practices every year), into play on the race days! Oh well, if you noticed, there were twelve men stand by for the four tyres during each pit-stop! Yes, Stand-By only!!!

Most claimed that the qualifying rule in 2005 was the-most-boring ever. I thought it was not too bad, where each team and each driver had their turns to be in the lime light on Saturday for a change. Nevertheless, I did not quite fancy that rule too either. Not because it was boring, but it was rather scary!

The slightest mistakes in one single lap could cause a million for the driver! For that reason, it made me un-ease to watch- worrying for ma idol! Eh-le, Ha!! When the single round of qualifying came into play, cautiousness must be playing around in the mind of the drivers, and that would cause them to drive less to the limit, wouldn’t they?

Nonetheless, there is no old rule re-staging for the qualifying session in 2006. A total brand new idea came into play, new Qualifying Rule! Max Mosley said the new rule is going to cause chaos in the mind of the spectaculars. I’m not quite sure about that, it seems OK to understand it for now, and rather fun. But again have to wait until I witness the coming first race, to know whether I like it, or not. (FIA always claimed that rules changes, accordingly to the likeness of the fans, eh-le you believe in Max??)

And heya, Fernando will be leaving for Mclaren in 2007! He had turned the sky from red to beautiful BLUE in 2005! And now, he’s thinking of making it grey in 2007 (If only if you know what I mean! =D). I (for one), am all out for him no matter what colours he chooses. And I have always held huge respect for Mr. Ron Dennis! Ron is always cool.

So, will Fernando drive along with Juan or Kimi in 2007? Ron loves Kimi. But, there’s no way for two tigers to live in the same crave! Perhaps Jean Todt is already in-talk with the Finn. =) My guess is, the one who leaves McLaren next year, will take over Micheal in Ferrari. (Only if Michael plans to ‘call it a day’ lah. :>)

Ahh, I can hardly wait to scream for those familiar faces in the races!!!

I want a Merry Merry Chritmas!!!

Of all the festive seasons among all races, culture and belief, there is one celebration that I very much wish that I could be part of it, but never quite been part of it–the celebration of the birth of Christ–Christmas!

I have mere knowledge concerning the story behind this celebration, and would not careless about it. It was the warmth of this celebration that intrigued me.

First of all, it was the cheerful colours that paint the town happy, then the songs that cheers up the atmosphere, followed by the process of picking up present for the loved ones, then came the food: turkey, fruit cakes, and cookies, and then most of all the gathering of family and friends, and again the present, to unwrap those presents received from our loved ones. Awww… I really wish to be part of it.

And hey, of course snowing would be wonderful to beautify the whole thing, where one could experience the warmth at heart was greater the icy cold weather. Awww…

I had been to Christmas parties, but never quite felt to be in it, because I think I had ‘Christmas’ just as long as the party last, within that sheer few hours!

The happiness lies in the preparation, and the involvements.

It is the process that counts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
