When good things come, they keep coming! After seeing the Red Bull car at Inorbit mall in Mumbai click here to know more Today I got a chance to see it in action ! :D

David Coulthard, in the cockpit of the very powerful Formula One Car entertained the crowds in Mumbai. He crossed the Bandra – Worli Sealink and then entertained the crowds as he did the ‘donut’ and zoomed past the crowd, with the Red Bull F1 engine’s sound echoing all over!

Here is a video taken by me with my Nokia N95 8GB (it’s not such a good one) as David drove past

 

 

 

And this video (below) taken by my Good Friend Eurisca with her Nokia N95. She had a better positon as she was one of the Marshals at the event! (Thanks Euri!) :)

 

 

It’s such amazing feeling to hear the Red Bull V10 engine run! the sound is LOUUUD and more like an airplane on a run-way! :D F1 is an awesome sport!

Thanks to Red Bull, David Coulthard and every other person who was responsible for this event!

Today is one of the best days of my life… I am a BIG BIG fan of Formula One racing, and its my favourite sport! and today I got a chance to see an F1 car at Inorbit Mall Mumbai!
The Red Bull Formula One team has been on a tour in Mumbai since yesterday the 7th October, today the F1 car was showcased at Mumbai’s Inorbit Mall. I was very excited to be so near to a very very powerful car with so much advanced technology!

If you have only seen F1 cars on TV or in photos, the car may feel very small… BUT BUT if you think it is small you are WRONG! the car is BIG and LONG! I was surprised!
Here are some photos I took of the F1 car

 

David Coulthard, retired Red Bull and Formula One Driver is going to drive the Red Bull f1 on Mumbai’s famous Bandra – Worli Sea Link on Sunday 11th October. for more details click here. So will you be there?

Hmm..... long time no POST !! LOL

 

Wel really its been a long time now since I have last posted on my favorite topic 'F1'. Ah. thats mainly because i have been busy these days and this yet continues.'

 

Well I loved today's Race at Istanbul! A real stunner !

 

Very very happy to see both of the ferrari's on the podium !. especially Filipe Massa !. His hat-trick of wins at Turkey is starting to prove that this place is made for him !

 

but would have been better had it been a Ferrari one-two ! but no problem as long as both Ferrari's on the podium!!!

 

now waiting for my favorite Race that is the 'Grand Prix of Monaco' !

 

 

 

 

Ferrari as expected dominated the Malaysian Grand Prix, especially Kimi Raikkonnen, he proved to be a champion, truly when he overtook Massa in-and out- of the pits....

Sad to see Massa lose it so easily just because of a minor driving error... This incident proved that F1 is tottaly unpredictable !! Even toyota's performance was brilliant !!

anyways a awesome race for Ferrari and Mclaren although their penalties...

 

Hoping to see a ferrari One-Two at Bahrain..

What a start to the 2008 formula one season !!  actually the dramas started with Qualifying itself ! Kimi Raikkonen having problems with his car in Qualifying....But he proved that he is a Formula One Champ by his remarkable progress in the race on the One pit-stop strategy.Well things didnt go his way nor Massa's way and both the Ferraris didnt make it to the finish.

 

The day belonged to Lewis Hamilton and his McLaren.Fron the start to the finsh he dominated the race. His team-mate Hekki Kovalienen was'nt that lucky though.A good race for Nick Heidfeld and Nico Rosberg. Well bad day for Ferrari.hoping the Malaysian Grand Prix will be pay back time from Ferrari !

What a way to end the season  ! Interlagos is "the" place to end an F1  season !!!  Seeing Kimi win the champioship in such an expected fashion was just Marvellous !!  He did it Superbly !!  

Well the moment that took the race and the championship from Hamilton was the first corner and the lap on which he slowed down. Also Kimi overtaking Massa on the way out of the Pits was just Spot On !!

 

Well Interlagos is just the right place to end the championship season as we cant expect anything to happen. Congratulating the newly crowned champion Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrarri !!    Go Ferrari !!!!

Im tired of seeing a Mclaren on the top step of the podium. I always anxiously wait for a ferrari to win and i end up seeing a Mclaren taking all the glory. so sad. So ive made up my mind no more reviewing till ferrari wins !

I hope my thoughts reach ferrari and they make me start writing

 big-time by winning the remaining races !!!

Wow what a beautiful race and even better to see

Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen finish first and second in Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix after a dominant performance from Ferrari in Istanbul.

Fernando Alonso was a distant third for McLaren, cutting team mate Lewis Hamilton's championship lead to just five points. Hamilton came home fifth behind BMW's Nick Heidfeld after a late puncture.

Whatever chance Hamilton had of victory - and it was always a slim one given the pace of the Ferraris - disappeared when his MP4-22’s right-front Bridgestone tyre failed on the 43rd lap.

The F2007s of Massa and Raikkonen had run ahead of him all the way (barring the first pit stops), and had just made their last ones (lap 41 for the Finn, lap 42 for the Brazilian) when bad luck struck the Englishman.

He was very fortunate to be able to limp back to the pits for his final set of tyres - the medium (softer) compound for the first time - and resumed fifth. Crucially, however, Alonso had swept by to take third place, with Heidfeld fourth.

The result moves Massa to third place overall again in the driver standings with 69 points, one ahead of Raikkonen, but now Alonso is back within five points of Hamilton, 79 to 84.

Until that moment of drama it was a relatively quiet race, especially since only Red Bull’s Mark Webber and Spyker’s Adrian Sutil retired, on laps nine and 55 respectively.

Massa led throughout, while Raikkonen beat Hamilton off the line and hunted his team mate down just before their second stops, but could not mount a real challenge. Thereafter they toured home, just as Alonso toured round in third well ahead of Heidfeld after initially dropping behind both BMWs at the start.

Raikkonen amused himself by dropping 7.4s back on lap 56 before setting the fastest lap of the race - 1m 27.295s - on lap 57. By the flag he was 2.2s adrift of Massa, with Alonso a further 23.9s behind.

After Heidfeld and Hamilton, another strong drive from Heikki Kovalainen reaped sixth place for Renault. With Hamilton nursing a damaged front wing following his puncture, the Finn could sense fifth, but in the end crossed the line a second adrift of the McLaren. Behind them Nico Rosberg put in a great performance to keep his Williams just ahead of Robert Kubica’s BMW Sauber for the final points.

Giancarlo Fisichella was ninth from David Coulthard in the Red Bull and Alex Wurz in the Williams, and behind them Toyota and Honda staged a spirited battle over 12th that fell eventually to a lapped Ralf Schumacher from Jenson Button and Super Aguri’s Anthony Davidson.

Tonio Liuzzi made a brilliant start and drove a stormer to hold off Davidson until the second stops, and by the flag kept Jarno Trulli’s Toyota in his Toro Rosso’s mirrors as he took 15th. Trulli had a miserable afternoon from the start, when he was tipped into a spin at Turn One, dropping him from ninth on the grid to 21st on lap one.

Rubens Barrichello was an unhappy 17th from Takuma Sato’s Super Aguri, with a lacklustre-looking Sebastian Vettel struggling initially to stay ahead of Sutil’s Spyker. He finished ahead of it after his fellow German lost a lot of time during his first pit stop before stopping with three laps to go, but by the flag the only running car behind him was Sakon Yamamoto’s Spyker.

In the constructors’ championship, McLaren retain their lead with148 points to Ferrari’s 137

Wow Ferrari are back and back with a bang ! Today i must say a very good day for Ferrari. even Filipe Massa has learnt from his mistakes made in malaysia. Well a good start off the grid,stunning pace in the earlier laps of the race,a superbly timed 1st pit-stop and good pressure soaking drive in the end were the reasons for the 1st place of Filipe Massa. Lewis Hamilton,i must say fabulous ! Bravo! What a drive from him. Superb pace in the end of the race. He is going to win his maiden victory very soon indeed. Kimi Raikkonen a very good one for him too. It was very good to see teams like Bmw and Renualt coming ahead. Very happy to see Nick Heidfeld overtake the World Champion Fernando Alonso. Well he was just likd a by-stander today and i find no reason for it.Well Jenson Button a very short race for him lasted just one corner. The woman with Jenson is his girlfriend Florence.
