1. “Fear is exciting for me.” ~ Ayrton Senna2. “I felt as though I was driving in a tunnel. The whole circuit became a tunnel... I had reached such a high level of concentration that it was as if the car and I had become one. Together we were at the maximum. I was giving the car everything - and vice versa.” ~ Ayrton Senna3. “Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.” ~ Ayrton Senna4. “It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.” ~ Ayrton Senna5. “The day it arrives, it will arrive. It could be today or 50 years later. The only sure thing is that it will arrive.” ~ Ayrton Senna

In Brief-
Well Guys and Galz!! its damn simple....all you have to do is register(for

The Saturdays Qualifying seesiopn which took place at Monza-For the Italian gp,was an session which boasted of complete drama and suspense!! Frontenders like-Lewis Hamilton,Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa were seen constantly struggling for grip as the rain marred the whole session.
Lewis Hamilton would be the only driver who struggled the most as his McLAren-Mercedes which is mostly seen topping the timing sheets was found down the timing sheets struggling to bring the car out of relegation zone during the Q2 session,and so was kimi raikonen.
The reason for it isn't the wrong tyre choice,but the set-up of the car.As was found during the session,Heikki kovalaienen the team mate of championship contender Lewis Hamilton was found constantly in top 5 during all the 3 sessions but that wasn't the case with Lewis,Kimi's teammate Massa too was performing better than him.
The top teams actually gambled with their set-up for some of their drivers,while Heikki dared to set his car for completely wet conditions,lewis reckoned that it would be semi wet and semi dry and set his car for the same ..and so did Kimi Raikkonen..and luckily massa had his set up more better than Kimi's which favored the wet conditions.
Last Sunday we had the European GP again(which have been in the f-1 calendar since Schumacher was an rookie and kimi,alonso were school going boys),but it was not on the historic Nurburgring but on an newly opened circuit named 'Valencia Street circuit' situated somewhere in Spain.
Well talking about firstly the circuit which is created in the midst of the city using obviously the city road(or streets!!) and designed by Herman Tike(of istanbul,sakhir,shanghai fame),Though the circuit is quite wide but its an very difficult circuit and where overtaking is next to impossible,the only way being slipstreaming and slingshot,but thanks to the aerodynamics the 2008 f-1 cars use the car slipstreaming the one at front may more difficulty in overtaking than gettting any help.
Lap1-The race started off quite well and brilliant start by massa who promptly kept his well earned pole and converted it into lead as the five red lights went off,though his team mate Kimi Raikkonen had not so good start with the Mclaren of Heikki Kovalaienen over taking himin the start itself,after which kimi just couldnt find a way past Heikki,the first corner saw couple of spins as the train of cars entered it as the race begun with David Coulthard with Rubens Barichello spinning out of the track...but sustaining no damage to the car.Kazuki Nakajima spoiled not only his but alos fernando alonso's race when he shunted the renault 's back causing the rear wing of renault to give away and also causing rear right suspension damage in the renault and prematurly ending the spaniard's race,Nakajima's Williams though only sustained an front wing damage and he joined back after changing the nose of the car.
lap 2-37- The rest of the race saw no major changes and everything was going in the same flow,except Sebastien Bourdais breaking a part of his front wing with the help of BMW's Nick Heidfeld
Massa came into the pits in lap 37 and so did adrian sutil,its not that sutil was fighting for the lead that am mentioning him but because he was the reason for Massa becoming $10000 poorer at the end of the weekend,the reason is in lap 37 after Sutil had his stop he was crawling down the pit lane but as he came near the ferrari pit garage suddenly an scarlet car emergedand it was none other than massa's f2008 which came wheel to wheel with him,adrian being at no fault didnt back off(as expected by massa and massa had to back off to prevent his Ferrari from banging wheels with Sutil's Force india or the Pit wall!!!,
lap 38-Chequered Flag
Lap 42 saw Adrian Sutil kissing the left side tyre wall at turn 2 in his force india and hence breaking the front wing of his VJM01 in the due process.Lap 45/46 saw kimi raikkonen's pit stop which caused an pit crew member(refueller) beimg hit by the rear wing of the Ferrari and the crew member being stretchered off to the hospital,In lap 48 later Kimi's Ferrari F2008's engine blew up while on the start finish straight,the Final Lap saw Massa Winning the Race Hamilton being 5sec(approx) behind and BMW sauber's Robert Kubica scoring his first podium after Canada by finishing 3rd.
