Formula 1 blog

This one I didn’t know it. It was the year 2002, in Brasil:

While we waitting for next race of formula one, let’s see a beautiful ad. There are no digital effects, there really were those cars on those streets.
Turn the sound on :

This one you have to see, it’s really something. Just turn on the sound:

This one you must see it with the sound to the maximum:

And the Renault F1 engine:

Man this is hot :d !

A friend of mine has launched http://myfastblog.com/. Here you can create one or more blogs for free. What I like is the name “MyFast”. I think it;s a good name for a formula one blog, if I didn’t already have this one I would have f1.myfastblog.com. It;s a cool name especially for a race blog.

The images are not so good or spectacular, but I like this one because the sound of the engines is so clear.

” The Formula One season used to be full of life. Now its just a bunch of characterless clones racing around the track.
‘Michael Schumacher may well have been the greatest driver of his generation or possibly ever. But he was so, so terribly dull’
Formula One has died for me. My peak of enjoyment was seeing the Brazilian Grand Prix live some years ago. Already by then my interest was waining but that live performance in the rain jerked my interest back to life.

A year before, I would have known everything. Every rule change, every driver move, when the new aerodynamic packages were due and who had designed them. I knew the names of engineers working to develop engines and when they moved between teams. I knew what an idiot and liability Murray Walker had become as senility took hold and that he had to, loved as he was, go.

The problem, as it happens, is that the personality has been systematically weeded out of the sport. No Eddie Jordan, no Jean Alesi, no Aryton Senna, no Eddie Irvine, no one actually any fun. A bunch of clones, essentially, with every word censored by sponsors where a little misbehaviour out of the cockpit gets a driver dropped so fast it makes the cars going down the main straight look pedestrian.”

Kimi is in the pole! Massa in 16-th place, with mechanical porblems! Wow! This is something ! Alonso second, Hamilton fourth and on the third position Nick Heidfeld with his BMW Sauber! BMW Sauber has pretty good positin with Kubica on 5-th, but I don’t think they will come between Ferrari and McLaren.
Renault very poor qualifications 6-th and 13.

Finally it’s on.
First practice session Alonso is first, but in the second session Massa and Raikkonen goes first and second, while Alonso is 4-th, behind his team mate Lewis Hamilton. So McLaren and Ferrari are the teams to watch? Renault had a lot of problems. Hmm…
