pushed back.....

what are the Arabs thinking of..????

and now the Bahrain GP is OFF ......

what are they thinking of..?????

and now we have to wait a little longer to hear the engines roar in the new season......

what are they thinking of..????

and now oil prices are on a pressure....

what are they thinking of...????

wait till sunday....

singapore is blazing hot right now....

but over in suzuka it's raining cats and dogs......

so too bad no qualifying today.....

TOO WET TOO WET.....

chewing gum

for many laps, so many that i lost count while standing at esplanade bridge, adrian sutil, nico hulkenberg, felipe massa and vitaly petrov were all stuck together like chewing gum.....

2 sides.....

paid a visit to some of the sales sections in the local forums...... and there exists the 2 sides of the coin........

on race day, some people are trying to cut their losses by selling tickets at below cost while there are also some who are holding out for a good profit......

as time trickles towards the race start at 2000 hrs, let's see who is at the losing end when it no longer matters...........

pig head....

i read this..... Montezemolo: Our drivers race for the team

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/239812/montezemolo-our-drivers-race-for-the-team/

and i thought.... what a pig......

yes i understand the team's interests ranks ahead of the individuals'....

but then no team is bigger than the sport ..... no team is bigger than RACING..!

CB...!!

bad match....

ah read this up... panerai and ferrari could be splitting up....

http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/04/panerai-and-ferrari-officially-break-up/

i have always maintained that these ferrari-branded watches are hopeless.......

and 5 years is indeed a long time for them to realise this folly.....

no coverage....

out of curiosity i went to the singtel mio TV website.............

KNS.... no coverage for my area right now!!!

haha, wanna watch champions league also cannot ah..... wanna pay also cant get the content.....

KNS singtel.... why challenge for pay TV....???? for what???!!!

hmmm so can i get ESPN over starhub for the coming F1 season .????

short-lived brawn watch....

remember this watch...??

now that mercedes have bought the team and brawn is no longer with us, there goes one of the shortest f1 team and timepiece marketing collaboration.....

BYE BYE...!!

torn..?? the cars or the man..??

ahhh...

i am a big fan of MS.... but also a huge supporter of scuderia ferrari.....

so in march, my loyalty will be torn between the personality of MS and the scarlet cars with the prancing horse.....

even before the engines are fired up, there's so much to look forward to........... in fact i think we are going to witness a season where the most number of world champions are racing each other....

michael schumacher (7)
fernando alonso (2)
lewis hamilton (1)
jenson button (1)

too bad kimi is not joining the party...... if not we can have 5 world champions in a grid of 26..!!

wow!! such a mouth-watering prospect..... so it's time to get your ESPN subscription sorted out.... i cant help it but.... MIO TV here i COMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...!!!

too expensive 2....

gosh ...

so it's true after all....

even the mighty TOYOTA has called it quits.....

tidak boleh tahan oredi lah.........

no choice i guess.... cos after spending so much, they did not even win a race....

so it's a sad end as the last of the japanese says byeeeeeeeee

too expensive....

right now, other than ferrari and mclaren, i think no team in the paddock can afford to hire kimi raikkonen....

even toyota, with the biggest budget for the past few years, is consolidating at the end of this year....... as of now, they have yet to sign off a budget for next season..... so i think they will rule out giving kimi a race seat...... the asking price must surely be prohibitive......

we all know that kimi is special and a super star ........ but even he cannot save the f60........ by comparing the lap times of kimi raikkonen and giancarlo fisichella, the difference is plain obvious......

if .... IF kimi is not on the grid next year, we will miss him.....

what money can do...

yes exactly.... it's all about money..... and we have all witnessed what money can create..... i.e. the most spectacular yas marina circuit .....

oh gosh, the size and scale of the venue is just awesome even when seen on TV..... i cant imagine if one is there personally........ it surely will be a humbling experience

marina bay and yas marina.... both similar in name but what a big difference when it comes to doing things the right way....

easy to forget

http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2009/10/28/new-sponsor-for-renault/

i am quite surprised that renault manages to get a new sponsor...

but then maybe it's a good move for TW STEEL, a watchmaker from holland....

at least their brand name will be appearing on international TV....

eerrr i just think their watches are just SO SO...... which looks abit like uboat and abit like tissot....

welcome back.....!!

it surely must feel good to be back .....

so it's also my pleasure to say welcome back felipe..!!

and next year will be so tough with fernando alonso right beside him..... but looked at how he handled the pressure of racing alongside kimi raikkonen...... he's now true-blue multiple race winner himself....

notice the watch on his wrist? i wonder if this is the same richard mille rm011 he wore when he crashed at hungaroring.... if yes, isnt that a tough little beast of a watch as well haha....

pic from autoblog

brawn vs brains....

so here we see another formula1 and timepiece tie-up........... but as you probably know not every collaboration becomes a success.....

i think this might just become a misfit......

casio and vettel.... update

this evening i was at parkway.....

and while walking past a shop i saw the price for the casio edifice vettel SE.... $350.....

remember to bargain ok..??

i am sure it can go lower......

a weekend of crashes...???

what a day!! cant remember the last time it happened.......

can anyone remember how many crashes were there at suzuku (f1) and estoril (motogp) this weekend.....???

way too many ...!! and over the estoril, bikes were dropping like bees.... SCARY!!

but that's the real bit about racing....... going ALL THE WAY TO THE LIMIT....!! i like..!!

a piece of f1 action.. by casio

if u r interested to get a f1-inspired timepiece but has always been reluctant to spend the big bucks, this casio is especially made for YOU.....

it is a very nice watch at a silly price.....

so remember to check it out....

wheww..... cos it took sooo long...

wheewwww....

the qualifying for suzuka seriously took a long long time........

towards the end, i cant even remember the number of incidents that took place....... yellow flags red flags and all......

in those accidents, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been wiped out clean....... OUCH..!!

suzuka is such a treacherous place to be .... :P

those poor mechanics just gotta do work overnight in turbo-mode to fix the cars...... TOUGH TOUGH cos on race days, they double-up as pit crews!! DOUBLE TOUGH TOUGH.....!!

so a plea from the mechanics to drivers, pls try not to crash ok??

perfect weekend....

a great weekend will be able to grab a flight ticket to japan and catch the race at suzuka.....

haha there's still time to go over right now .... YES!! right now haha.......

if only, if only money is not an issue..... and one should GET INTO THE PADDOCK CLUB over there too ...!!
