The news of Robert Kubica’s accident is extremely disturbing. I’ve always been an admirer of his amazing talent, and I’ve always rated him as one of the fiercest racers in Formula 1. Let’s just say that if Kubica were to have joined Alonso at Ferrari, I’m not so sure if Alonso would be the quicker [...]

Shocking Revelation
Monday, 6 December, 2010
Now this kinda puts things into perspective. It has been revealed that apparently Mark Webber was nursing a broken (yep, broken) shoulder for the final four races of the season. BBC has the scoop on it (here), and James Allen has his own (here). This could more or less explain his strange dip in form [...]
Congrats Vettel!
Sunday, 14 November, 2010
Although I’m a Ferrari fan, I’ve never liked Fernando Alonso. So the fact that Alonso got stuck with some seriously bad luck stemming from poor strategy today didn’t exactly upset me. It is quite a pity when you consider that he started a respectable 3rd on the grid, and had to settle for 7th at [...]
The Ferrari Way
Wednesday, 10 November, 2010
A few more days to the end of the season so I thought I’d blurt out whatever I can before there’s nothing else to blurt on. Indeed, there is so much to talk about in this span of one week between Brazil and Abu Dhabi. And it all revolves around the issue of team orders. [...]
Interlagos And The State Of Affairs
Monday, 8 November, 2010
You could say that this was probably one of the most boring Interlagos grand prix in recent history. By somewhere around the one-third mark of the race, it looked as if things were probably going to stay the way they were. Even the safety car did nothing to spice things up. Button was surprising in [...]
Random F1 Thoughts
Monday, 25 October, 2010
Someone made a comment that if Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton were in a Red Bull this season, the championship would have been long sewn up by now. I would have to agree. The problem with Red Bull is that they have been shooting themselves in the foot time and time again. It could be [...]
We’ve Been Fortunate
Monday, 27 September, 2010
In many ways we’re pretty lucky. Y’know, I’m a Singaporean, and there’s nothing I’d love to see more than our own grand prix doing well. And truth be told, I think the race has done really well all 3 years. It has provided enough thrills and spills each of the 3 years to keep the [...]
Webber, A Champion’s Drive
Monday, 27 September, 2010
On Saturday, by some extraordinary stroke of luck someone decided to give me a Bay Grandstand ticket for tonight’s race, so I gratefully accepted. At least now I can finally say that I’ve attend the Singapore Grand Prix. This is the fourth grand prix that I’ve ever attended in my life (Suzuka ’05, Sepang ’05 [...]
Interesting Sports Weekend
Monday, 13 September, 2010
Let’s see, it started off with Man Utd yielding two goals (and thus, the lead) to Everton in stoppage time, which was a classic moment, cos you seldom see this brain-fade kind of stuff happening to them. It’s usually their opponents who are at the receiving end of this kind of thing, so it was [...]
So Much For The Top Dogs
Monday, 30 August, 2010
You know there’s something wrong with a sport when every single F1 fan on Twitter prays for rain before and during the race. But that’s F1 for you. As always, Spa Francorchamps never disappoints, though I did wish that the heavy rain would have arrived earlier. While we may never see drama the likes of [...]
