What a race!!!


This weekend race at Belgium was one of the most trilling grand prix race in living memory. It was a mixed day for Ferrari and Kimi. But Kimi really is running out of luck, engine blow outs...now a crash at final lap.
Kimi started the race at 4th position, did manage to be the race leader at 2nd lap. Was the race leader till 43rd lap, thanks to rain gods... with hot hard compound tires and water on track. It was like driving on ICE with diesel spilled all over it. At 43rd lap, rain started to pour and Lewis did manage to over take Kimi, but did make a error of cutting short on one corner, which costed him the first place!!!!
He was declared race leader but later a penalty of 25 secs was added to his race time, which made him 3rd!!!!

In middle of all the spins and overtakes, Kimi did push for the limit and managed to crash into a side wall :( and was declared 18th place for crashing at the last lap..poor Kimi. Being a Ferrari fan, I would have loved to see Kimi win. But hard luck, for Kimi.. but not totally for Ferrari...since Massa was declared as the race leader after Lewis was penalized.

This season has been really great, no clear race leader as previous years. Guess last race will be the decider. Hoping for a nail bitting finish at Brazil.
Go Ferrari Go!!!
