Formula 1 blog

My TV was broken for a while. I don’t watch TV too much so I let it be. Broken! This year I saw most of the races to a friend of mine who’s got a big screen and it’s cool!
This make me remember a few years ago, when I was a student living in a hostel without TV in my room. back then, with a few days before a race, the quest began: who of my colleague has TV and it’s not leaving at home. Sometimes I colud’nt find anyone so in the race day, I was starting to go from pub to pub to ask if I could watch F1 instead their creapy music programs:d It wasn’t easy in those days to watch F1!
One time I was in another town. I asked where can I find a pub with TV and find out that is a pub where the F1 fans are getting together to watch the race. It was beautiful! Fans from two teams, Ferrari and McLaren were present there(it was 98 or 99) and they were making so much noise with their hornes, they had flags and shirts with their favourite teams. It was an exciting Malayesian Grand Prix, with Schumacher up and down, it was a real show.
I have a few more “special” places watching F1: in a supermarket, when moving I sleeped on the floor with just a blanket and the tv in the house..but there is one more:
From the street, to a TV in a shop window, the shop was closed, I saw the TV from the bus, I was in the bus going to a pub with TV, it was late so get down and stay in street not to miss the start. And I wasn’t alone. A bad smelling “aurolac” watched the race with me(click the linkif you don’t know what is an “aurolac”. there was a few people who stopped a couple of minutes to ask me who is first, what place is their favourite pilot.

I wonder if there are other F1 fans with such stories.

I have a new theme for this wordpress. I like this one, butt I’m still testing another 2,3 themes. I’m trying to make logo for this site. This will be hard, as I have no experience, but I have a few ideeas.

Ayrton Senna:

Mika Hakkinen

Michael and Ralf Schumacher:

Kimi Raikkonen

Fernando Alonso:

As I wrote before, at McLaren there was an agreement that ALonso and Hamlton won’t talk about each other unless they are both present.
Now Alonso says he will talk about Hamilton like he always did.
I don;t know what exactly is going on inside McLaren, but it looks a little strange to me.

..unless they are both in the same room. This is a new rule at McLaren.

Lewis Hamilton crashed the go-kart that had just been sold in ebay for £42,100.(see here the Hamilton’s £2000 kart sold on Ebay with £42,100 news.
He hit the he barriers on the temporary track laid out in a central London square at a promotional event organised by sponsor Vodafone. Now the kart it’s a little bent, nothing serious.

Lewis Hamilton is the hot subject of this period:

- Coulthard said Lewis will lose his nice-guy, polite image :”In three years from now, he’ll be less approachable, more distant and with his own private jet.”
- Schumacher may race against him on December
- the jockey Frankie Dettori started this year as a favourite of the BBC Sports Personality Award, but now Hamilton seems to be replacing him.
- Former champion Emerson Fittipaldi says fellow-Brazilian Nelson Piquet could be the “next Hamilton”
- at Silverstone yesterday, where huge crowds assembled in the hope of seeing Britain’s hero of the summer, pounding around the circuit during the three-day test. The groan when Pedro De La Rosa was disclosed as the McLaren driver echoed like thunder through the stands.
- David Robertson, who broke the mould by bringing the untested talents of Jenson Button and Kimi Raikkonen into Formula One, believes Hamilton could be the sport’s first $100 million driver, annually that is.
