Formula one drama continues....
Lewis HamiltonI am writing on formula one after a long gap. Actually so many things are happening in F1 that i couldn't stop myself from writing..
Lewis Hamilton's F1 Car (McLaren Mercedes)
Let me start with last year's story. L Hamilton of G Britain. a very young promising driver is appointed in Mclaren's team. Its was after kimi Raikkonen left to Ferrari and also JP Montoya who joined the NASCAR. The eye was really on Mclaren becaause it was F alonso, who joined Mclaaren team leaving the Renault and looking for a brighter future... as a team mate, Hamilton is starting to show up side by side with Alonso. he was a rookie driver but the way he come in front was astonishing! well, not exactly astonishing to those who used to watch formula 3 champ. coz he came out from that. However, Hamilton shows his power and his ability to win races and even amazingly the ability to be a rookie champion. the dream lasted till to the last Brazilian Grand prix.
Kimi Raikkonen, F1 Driver's Champion 2007
The main drama was not only that the rookie was about to take away the championship from that F. Alonso, but also Alonso made more news! He was involved with the spying on Ferraari's car with few other. All he wanted a better car than Hamilton's. Why? he even argued with the Mclaaren team boss Ron Dennis and threatened him. This was the story of the late Q3 of 2007. and what was the result? Well team boss informed the FIA and thus they were fined millions of dollars! as well as all their points were swept up. and making the Ferrari which was not performing good in '07, the Constructors champion.
F. Alonso in 2007
Alonso had a contract signed with Mclaren for about three years, but seems a very bitter relation with the team boss Ron Dennis making it difficlt for him to stay, and also it was a very uncomfortable situation with the team as well. as both Hamilton and Alonso were given Identical cars and none was preferred. For the spying - he caused millions of dollar pay, and also '0' points for the Mclaren Constructor at the end of the season 2007. Though Hamilton could give the only good thing for Mclaren, as a rookie champion-who was appointed by Mclaren team boss Ron Dennis, and It could be a great pay-off for Hamilton. But it was all luck for them, kimi Raikkonen who joined Ferrari team leaving Mclaren that year, became the champion staying just 1 pont ahead of Lwis Hamilton!! at the end of the season..
For when 2008 season started, things have changed a lot. Ferrari had a new car, a new better aerodynamics and engine as well and better than 2007's car. they got stable team mates. F Massa and k. Raikkonen. and Alonso had no choice but joined again the Renault team. Hekki Kovaleinnen joined with Lwis Hamilton. and who else could be threat for team Mclaren?? well, It is BMW!
Up till now, and in the last race of Canadian Grand prix, Robert Kubica of BMW, won the race not ony that, his team mate Nick Heidfeld earning points too for the Team!
The Season hasnt finished yet, but lots of Drama still is happening. The FIA presiden Max Mosley is going through tough time as he was involved with some scandal!
Max Mosley( FIA Presiden: under pressure to resign)
and many members wants this FIA president to step down from his position. But he argued and still holding the position speaking of the Incident as his personal matter and not to relate with his job. well what was the Scandal?? well.. it was that a British Tabloid published him who seemed to take part in a Nazi-themed orgy with prostitutes!!
Anyway, Lots of Drama is still spinning. Will write about it later. by this time, dont miss the coming France Grand prix, a real challenge for all front line drivers! Cheers!
