F1 >.>

I have made up for my lack of a TV by watching live updates of F1. Starting with the race in Italy on Sunday.

But Yokie has invited me to her home to watch the Singapore Grand Prix, so I hope Mom will let me...!

>.<

Although Raikkonen finished 9th, just ONE position short of a point, it was pretty satisfying to see that Massa pipped Hamilton. Yay.

But for the moment the driver in the spotlight is Sebastien Vettel.

Personally, if it couldn't be Raikkonen on the podium it's actually nice to see three different faces on the podium instead of the usual ones.

Nijyu-sai. Same age as Kor. Hmm. Can't imagine someone Kor's age driving a car at 300km/hr and actually pulling off a win. But I hope no one really tries to call Vettel the next prodigy or something, because that would be too...... dramatic. I mean, let the guy enjoy his win without too much stress. Anyone who can get up to that level of racing probably has the ability to win. And given the right opportunity, they will.

Speaking of right opportunities...... aahh. I guess just as we get lucky sometimes we get unlucky at others. It seems unlikely that Raikkonen can retain his title this year, but at least let him win in Singapore......! Then I will not mind if Massa takes the title.

Just as long as it's not Hamilton -.- I don't like his attitude, or his 'I'm comparable to Ayrton Senna!' way of looking at himself.

There are gracious losers, like most of the more experienced drivers were in Monza. And there are gracious winners too, as most experienced drivers are as well.

The ends doesn't justify the means, and just because you're talented doesn't mean you can get away with whatever you do.

(A.k.a., don't open your mouth to criticize someone who has done better than you just because you're doing better than him for the moment.)

In any case, they've removed the ad featuring the above-mentioned driver's face from the bus stop at the side gate I use.

Ha.

P.S. Kovalainen's English really is... shall I say quaint? :P Like 'wetter'. Ok, fine, wetter is a standard word but it's a bit unwieldy. Reminds me of my unofficial English student who hails from the same country. But the latter's mistakes are cute, see. ;) Especially in the way he's so careful with his 'prepositions'. ...... What on earth is a preposition???
