The German Grand Prix and more.
Earlier today I watched the German Grand Prix, and as is the norm for Formula One, the Ferraris made me angry. But hey, such is life. It’s not like I can do much about them.
I was gutted for Lewis Hamilton, he got off to a cracking start and if it wasn’t for Webber weaving all over the track up to the first corner he would have been in the top three with no trouble. As it is, Webber bounced off of Barrichello and then caught Hamilton’s right-rear tire. The puncture took him out of the race completely.
Which is mostly down to the rules being crap. Admittedly, the blue-flagging of people who are being lapped and going slowly is perfectly fine, but Hamilton was going at the same pace as everyone else until he started getting blue-flagged. I think that if he didn’t have to slow down to let everybody else past, he may well have been able to unlap himself.
Nextly, Massa holding up everyone else bugged me. Just because it’s boring. I know he eventually got a podium out of it, but it was dull to watch. It cost Barrichello a chance of a race victory too because right when he needed to be doing his best, he was stuck behind some red car that’s going two seconds a lap off of the pace.
And if I were Adrian Sutil, I’d have waited for Raikonnen after the race with a metal pole and beat him into a coma. Seriously. After coming out of the pits, he was between the Ferraris of Massa and Raikonnen. He had the racing line going into Turn One, and Raikonnen came around the outside and crashed straight into Sutil, who then had to pit again and had his race essentially finished there.
He cost Sutil the chance of getting his first-ever championship points, and he did it in a way that was against the rules. Sutil had the line, he should have yielded and let him through. And it appears that because Raikonnen then retired from the race, he’s not going to be punished at all. This is complete and utter bull.
Other than getting angry at the Formula One, I’ve not really been doing a lot over the past two days. The reason that you’ve not had an update is because there’s been nothing to write about. England are doing poorly in the cricket and apparently because my brother’s not allowed on the Xbox 360, I’m not either because it’s ‘unfair’. This is why it shouldn’t be in my brother’s room.
I’ve just done a revision of my Personal Statement, but it’s still too long. I’ve cut it down from 56 to 52 lines, but the space limit is 4000 characters or 47 lines, whichever comes first. Also, I have Maths Coursework to work on (yawn.) and Mechanics homework to do (which I can’t remember the specifics of) so yeah, fun times ensue.

Erm…yeah…Formula One stuff went straight over my head.
And again, don’t worry about the personal statement. It will be severely raped by tutors in September =P
