Oh Well


Tifosi 92

So the last F1 race of the year was run today, and I can honestly say I wasn't exactly impressed. Usually nothing can take my attention away from an F1 race, but I barely payed attention to the last twenty laps or so. There were very few overtaking moves at all, and honestly not much to remember from the race other than the track. The only highlights of the race were Kamui Kobayashi passing newly-crowned world champ Jenson Button and a battle for second between Mark Webber and Button towards the end of the race. I didn't think that the race itself was a fitting close to the season, although the track was amazing. A few other circuits could take a cue from Abu Dhabi. In short, I'm much impressed again with the way Toyota's Kamui Kobayashi drove through the race. For a rookie, he's got immense talent, and reminds me a lot of Michael Schumacher. Kobayashi may yet be the only reason I'd watch F1 next year because of all the rule and driver changes. :P I'm very sad to see Kimi Raikkonen leaving Ferrari on such an anticlimactic note as well (12th :(). I'm not entirely looking forward to watching Ferrari next year.

 

And with that, there's a large chance that this will be my last F1 related entry for a while.

Yeah, that was too bad for Kimi Raikkonen, since it was his last race at Ferrai. It's really sad to see him go and let Alonso take his place, but that was whomever's idea, not mine. I personally have added Kobayashi to my favorite drivers list, and I'd probably agree with you that he drives like Michael Schumacher.

 

At most, I probably considered the race to be a little boring, and having not many exciting parts in it, but that's my opinion.

I must agree on Imola, it was one of my favourite tracks but some of those things cannot be helped. If F1 had all the same drivers and teams it would get boring, I've always too see Alonso perform at Ferrari, I think he's a fantastic drive but Renault is mediocre at best. Ferrari and McLaren may have been outperformed by Brawn, Red Bull and Force India, but don't you think that's a good thing? Minor teams suddenly performing well can hardly be bad.

 

Sadly what you want. (Kimi and Seb at Ferrari) is unlikely too happen, you can't have what you want. Imagine those Super Aguri or Midland or Jordan or Minardi fans that have seen there favourite team disappear, or the Sato, Coulthard, Montoya fans seeing there favourite drivers go. Imagine if we all had F1 the way we wanted, it would be chaos.

 

Some of us like change, some of us don’t but one thing is for certain; change is inevitable.
