(Sorry for the very late post!)

Day 13 - Most tragic moment in F1


Jochen Rindt’s crash at the Italian Grand Prix of 1970. He was so close to winning the championship, and he eventually did but he never got to see the prestigious Champion’s trophy. His post death championship is the first in Formula One. The championship trophy was presented to his wife, Nina.

Circuit Of The Americas

We are only 1 single race away from the end.. for the championship to be settled and to see who among the 2 best drivers on the grid - Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso will emerge winner of all.

I'm talking about a director-less film, which sure did hit the box office on a high and made the viewers feel worth of their 2 hours time every weekend. The perfect set up, 24 boys with crazy toys. The perfect background, around the world. The perfect script, strategies and management. The spice, unpredictability. The most realistic looking action, incidents. The romance, girlfriends and wives (Wags). The perfect ending, the world championship and 'happily ever afters'. And one more! The best parties for hits (wins) and the ruthless penalties for 'hits'. This is the movie: F1 2012  It was a thrilling end to an enthralling season.  Its was either Red or Blue, A bull or A stallion, wet or dry and more importantly, Vettel or Alonso. Voices spoke "Fernando" and ...
