Barcelona

Fernando won yesterday. I'd kind of expected that though. He wanted to win on his home soil SO damn badly. A lot of Spaniards were there to support him too...In fact, all the grandstands were a sea of blue and yellow, except for one patch of red...Pity the people who went decked out in Ferrari/Mclaren/any other team's gear...They must have gotten a few evil looks from the Renault supporters, I reckon...Anyhoos, coming to the race itself, Renault had a good package and from what I could see, Fernie made no mistakes. So as much as I'm going to hurt my pride by saying this...Fernie deserved yesterday's win.

Fisi looked a bit subdued on the podium yesterday. I think he knows that Renault is entirely centred around Alonso and making him World Champion again. I wonder if he'll be able to keep his seat at Renault next year...Even more so, I wonder if he wants to.

Michael...*sigh* what can I say? True, all the tifosi should be happy that he leap-frogged Fisi and hence gained a position in the race, but still...I think Michael's bloody perfectionism is rubbing off on a few of us. I was disappointed to see Michael in second...ok, not as disappointed as I would have been if he'd crashed out or whatever...but still...second is just not good enough...Michael's stern expression in the post-race conference expressed my very sentiments.

As for the Mclaren's...quiet race from them...JPM's car getting "beached"...and Kimi...well, his car just didn't seem to have the necessary pace...

All in all, a dominant weekend by Renault. Next...Monaco, the crown jewel in the F1 calendar. Come on Schumi!!! I have faith in you...just not your car...

Feel like jumping off a bridge...I'm so over writing this damn thesis already!!

Arrivederci!
