it has begun...

the rise and fall of great men, the apocalypse of many strong ambitions, goals, missions. it has begun, 19 times a season across the globe, from the coldest places to the hottest, from the wet wet wets, to the dry saharas, from the high tech newbies, to the grand daddy ovals. it is time to rise again, it it time to fly again...soar into a new season of Formula One.

900 horsepower, 300miles top speed, cornering of 3G's with all the latest technology of jetfighter fitted into a single open racer. wow...

why am i facinated with it, dunno, ask the millions out there who stayed up way into the early mornings to watch the Australian GP last night. it's an 11hour difference. and yet we all stayed up to watch it. disappointed to watch the great Michael Schumacher getting bummed out of the race. not exactly a good start to his title defense. qualified in 19place, had an engine change, then was stuck behind sato half the race. and when he decided to put the hammer down, he gets shunt by heidfeld. actually it was an incident schumi caused if you looked at it, he pushed heidfeld into the grass, leaving him no braking zone, sigh...disappointing but not sad, if i know one person so well enough thru years and years of watching him go round and round the circuits, i know Michael Schumacher, so watch out in Malaysia.

now here's the sad part, 6 years since F1 brought the scene to malaysia, this will be the 1st year i wont be there. no huge ferrari flag, no 15metre long banner, no dyed red hair, no ferrari t-shirts and caps, no pit babes. just watching from the tele. well they always say the best view is always infront of the tele. but tell that to those people who have never gone to watch F1 live!!! it's not about the view in F1, it's about the atmosphere, the noise, the crowd, the cheers, the drop gears and the air shows...hmmm, but there is always a sad story behind everything, so does this.

sad story, the story of my life.
