Another Rainy Day… This Time The Bulls Reign At Shanghai

I used to pray for rain when Michael Schumacher was at the reign. I think my prayers were answered only now.

Not another rain!!! This time the rain filled the Shanghai circuit all throughout the 56 laps.

With rain you can expect little or almost zero visibility, aqua-planning (oh we got lots of these on the run up to the start-finish straight), safety car… yadda yadda yadda

Vettel lead the race from pole to finished. Great drive. A great rain-meister. He definitely reminds me of M.Schumacher. His Red Bull teammate, Webber came in second. Button came in third… guess it’s not 3rd time lucky for Button.

This is a sad race for me because once again Ferrari didn’t score any points. Massa DNF. Kimi finished a low 10. At one point Sutil (Force India) was in 5th position but lost control of his car and was out. Steve Slater (ESPN F1 commentator) said that if Force India did get their first championship point, then it’s only Ferrari that has not scored any points this season. Uwahhh malunya. Anyhow… this is also malu already. The only 2 teams (Ferrari & Force India) that has zero point in their pockets. Ferrari worst start of the season in a decade!

Now I know how it feels like to be in 2nd fiddle. Hahahahaha

Next race: Bahrain GP at Sakhir 26th April (a week time)

Bengbeng, I’m amazed by your determination. Hot bod leh. :grin: Not that I don’t need to diet. I love food too much. Hahaha

Lex, I think the color red is kinda bad luck this year la. Ferrari… ManUtd. Imagine come end of the season, ManUtd = zero trophy. Huhuhu They look very shaky. I’m not sure they can survive Arsenal.
