MP4-12C

this is surely something that every car lover will wanna see up close and personal...

AHHHH so beautiful.....

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...........

wrong chairs..??

hey.... no recaro seats for S$168k???

how can lah.......

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...!!

race 2...!

aha race 2 of the america's cup is now at 5 mins countdown and here it goes...!!

catch it live on the internet if you are interested...

best of 3: what is enough...

for such an important and prestigious challenge for the 33r america's cup, there should have been more races that a maximum of 3.... you wouldn't want your fate to be decide that quickly right?..... all the money all the effort they'd put in for only 3 races...???

so if bmw oracle wins again today, it's bye bye to alinghi ......

i'd supported alinghi when they were the underdogs: seeking to win sailing's biggest prize many years ago.....

now i find them arrogant and awkward.... and my money and heart are with bmw oracle....

GO GO GO!!!

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 .????

it's all about traction....

a classic car vs bike shoot-out....... but so so interesting.......

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...!!!

good entertainment....

haha the man's neck may not be as strong as before but when it comes to racing, he still has the fire in his belly .....

go and watch the race of champions on youtube where team germany was facing team GB......

the man sure knows how to win......

but of course he's not unbeatable...... as mattias ekström clearly showed the world how to beat michael schumacher.... haha

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....
