I was fortunate to be given an invite to view the F1 documentary film “Senna”, as part of the closing event for the SIFF. I had very much wanted to catch this film, and I came away being totally mesmerised by it. Definitely the most engaging documentary film I’ve ever watched. You could call it [...]

Silverstone
Monday, 11 July, 2011
Few thoughts on Silverstone: You’ve got to give credit where it is due – Silverstone was an exciting race. I guess the wet weather at the start definitely helped. Looks like F1 is the only sport that desperately needs rain to make it exciting. About the Webber-Vettel incident… I guess a new phrase has entered [...]
Bad Sports Week
Thursday, 30 June, 2011
Schumacher had a dismal race at Valencia. Massa’s race was nondescript. Red Bull looks like it is still untouchable. And Roger Federer just got dumped out of Wimbledon in the q-finals after winning the first two sets. Great, just great. Few things to get off my chest: One, is there a more boring race on [...]
Not Good
Monday, 13 June, 2011
Most exciting race of the season yet, and Schumacher’s best performance since returning to F1…and I missed the race! Not good. Besides, the race was suspended waaay too long and I just couldn’t afford to stay up any longer. Nonetheless, good to know that Schumi is alive and well. Go Schumi!!! In other news, Mavs [...]
Same Old Result
Sunday, 8 May, 2011
It’s getting really boring seeing the same winner all the time. I do believe that people want to see a change, but the way things are going it looks like the same winner is going to dominate for quite a while yet. I’m referring, of course, to the dominance of Vettel this season. 4 races, [...]
Shanghai GP
Sunday, 17 April, 2011
Just when you thought you’d seen it all in F1, along comes something new. In all my years, I’d never seen a driver drive into another team’s pit box before. It was a rather bizarre move by Jenson Button. All in all, I thought the Shanghai GP was extremely engaging. It started when the two [...]
On Sepang
Sunday, 10 April, 2011
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: You know something is slightly wrong with a sport when you pray for rain the entire race and are disappointed when no rain actually comes. I’m not sure I can think of another major sport whereby rain is always so dearly wished for. Sure, the new [...]
Sepang
Wednesday, 6 April, 2011
I am so pumped for Sepang this weekend. Nope, I won’t be going up cos I didn’t think I wanted to sacrifice a weekend up there as I’ve got a number of commitments here this weekend. Nonetheless, I’m really hoping for a good showing from Mercedes. I’m willing to accept that Melbourne was a case [...]
2011 Season – Same Old, Same Old
Sunday, 27 March, 2011
Watching the Melbourne GP today is like the same ominous feeling you get on your first day of school, finding out that your new form teacher is the nightmare that you’ve always wanted to avoid. In other words, you’re like “Uh-oh, looks like we’re in for a very long season!” I’m referring to the sheer [...]
Start Your Engines!
Friday, 25 March, 2011
The 2011 Formula 1 season officially begins today! There is meaning to life once again. Two words and two words only: Go Schumi!!! If Schumacher gets a podium in Melbourne, I’m dropping everything to go up to Sepang in April no matter what. … p.s. I’ll say this once and for all – every F1 [...]
