absolute mayhem at fuji

as it turned out to be such a absolute mayhem at fuji speedway today......

why?

simply bcos lewis hamilton outbraked himself and forced more than a few cars to go off their racing line........ spoiling the race for himself and almost everyone else.... at the very first turn of lap 1....

this allowed mr "lucky" fernando alonso to jump on the opportunity to lead the race and even won from there.... not to take anything away from alonso...... he was superb in his 2nd stint and managed to pull away from kubica and raikkonen by more than half a second a lap....... sublime race-craft from the double world champion.....

as i predicted, felipe massa had the toughest job today............ after being forced wide, he banged wheels with hamilton and incurred a drive through penalty (hamilton himself was penalised for the 1st corner incident)............ almost ruining his race right there and then............ kudos to felipe for not giving up......... he took it on and drove a superb race to score 1 point...........

now his clash with sebastian bourdais is being investigated right now.......... and it could go either way.......... massa could lose his point........ or gain more if bourdais is penalised....... i have no idea how the stewards will look at this........ whose fault was it? maybe it's just a racing incident......... and both will keep their position.....

exciting yes...... but not very good for the heart if you are a mclaren and ferrari fan.......

go felipe go...!
