Anger

Dragged myself down to the Formula One this morning but after the massively disappointing race last tie I wasn’t keen.

It didn’t help that the venue was in chaos. The big screen TV had gone down, and there was no food since the cook had been taken to hospital – probably with food poisoning if his bacon is anything to go by. Still, had a couple of Virgin Mary's (on the advice of my doctor in France) and settled down to watch.

As it turns out the race was spectacular. Lewis lost the lead early on but kept fighting all the way, staying within a couple of seconds of Kimi for the whole race. Then a few laps before the end the rain came down and Lewis showed hat a rainmeister he is. The cars were driving very skittishly and the lead swapped places three times before Kimi crashed out and Lewis clinched it.

But then the news came through that he’d been docked 25 seconds! The room was in uproar. To explain Lewis had been forced off the road by Kimi and cut the corner of a chicane to get back onto the track an had gained the lead. As the rules dictate he then eased off and let Kimi pass so no advantage was gained before repassing on the next corner.

If the race authorities are going to let Ferrari get away with Murder (Kimi wasn’t even bothering to make some corners and was using runoff tracks regularly once the rain started) then I wonder if F1 is going to remain worth watching.
