oooouuuucccchhh.... my mum has now officially banned me from ever going over to my grandfather's house to watch F1 on Sunday for the entire period of time when I'm having my mid-year... T.T

That was mainly because she saw me sneaking over to my grandfather's house to watch last Sunday. So, I suppose that I'm probably not going to be able to update this blog for some time except about the results, of which everyone can read anyway at the F1 website.

Anyway, last Sunday was pretty boring because I only got to watch the last 20 minutes, and I also had to do a maths practice paper at the same time... Only got to watch the back, when Schumacher and Alonso were battling it out. My brother was rather agitated at why Alonso didn't crash, 'but with his class of luck, he won't crash.' In any case, he was always very elated whenever Alonso ran wide. He says that this is Alonso's normal skill and that this is what will happen to him when he has normal luck. Personally, I do think that this is rather(forgive me) immature(but don't tell him that).

It was rather disappointing(for me at least) because there wasn't any exceptional show of driving from Raikkonen(my apologies to Ferrari and Renault fans). In any case, I predict that the constructor's standings at the end of the year are as thus:
  1. Renault
  2. Ferrari
  3. McLauren
  4. Honda
  5. Toyota

Rather disappointing list for me, but the point is that I am a subjective person and I do admit that 2006 is definitely NOT a McLauren year. For now, I have to concentrate on my mid-year exams and the ever-drawing-nearer O-levels. SIGH... T.T

Button on pole. Okay, I think. But Button always qualifies quite well, but loses out in what my dad terms 'the big squeeze', so probably Alonso and Fisichella will get in front of him and they might just win the race. Not that I'm hoping for that, but the fact remains that Renault have a better car than they did last year, while McLauren has fallen back. BUT!!! I still feel that Raikkonen is the fastest driver around. In fact, a poll on the Formula 1 site last year showed that most people felt that if the three drivers Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso were to race in the exact same conditions, Raikkonen would be the fastest.

My brother was pretty much in a storm the week before last because both the Renault cars won in Sepang. More specifically, he's upset that Alonso finished in a good position. He is so against Alonso that he is even supporting Nico Rosberg in the hopes that he will break Alonso's record of being the youngest pole setter, youngest to win a race and the youngest to win the championship. Well, personally I think it's a bit immature...(don't let him see this)

They say that it will be an exciting race tomorrow. Well, I don't know. With less than 17 hours(hahaha) to the next race, all I want to do is just watch and I suppose we shall start to see who will be likely to win the respective championships this year. Hope the silver arrows win, they've had enough bad luck already as it is.

I have separated my F1 blog from my personal life blog since I felt that I shouldn't just lump them together. From now on, this blog will be about purely F1, while the other blog is just about my own life. Go see my profile and 'other blogs' if you'd like to take a look at it.
