My journey of life...

If there is one thing which is really precious to me apart from all the gaming stuff and more than my Manchester United Jersey is my bright red original Michael Schumacher World Champion 2002 Ferrari Jacket. This was a time when Ferrari demolished the opposition and although I bought this probably in the 2004 season (during another Ferrari steamroller) I am in love with it. Being a Schumi fan (and a Ferrari loyalist) it is the best sporting merchandise ever. It's been more than 7 years since I have that jacket and it's served me well. I wore it around wherever I went. It was very common to see me wearing it at INKC dog shows all around. Some of my friends even called me junior schumacher. Some teased me that the judges would give me prizes by not looking at the dog but looking at the jacket. My first US trip, I complete immigration and move into US customs. Believe me I was scared. The cop takes my customs declaration takes one look at me and asks me - 'You a Ferrari fan?...

The rumours have been silenced. It's Official now. 7 time World Champion comes out of retirement for Ferrari. Michael Schumacher returns to F1 There have been many returns in different sports. But this is different. Schumi as he is affectionately called brings high hopes to his fans around the world that finally we might just see a Ferrari victory. The question is will he be at his best and will we be able to see Michael Magic again? May be, May be not. One thing is for sure F1 is going to be exciting again with the return of the Red Baron. With SPA and Suzuka as upcoming races one can only imagine the feeling among his loyal fans. They know deep down that he is going to set the track on fire. And I can only think of what the Italian GP is going to be with MSC behind the wheel again. Can Ferrari manage a 1-2 finish in front of the Tifosi at Monza? After the Hungarian GP one would think that Mclaren and Ferrai have got stronger. Both these teams now will have a say in the world ch...

Everyone remembers what happened to Aryton Senna at Imola. I wasn't hooked on to F1 then but still hear people saying it was one of the darkest days of F1. Formula 1 has missed Senna ever since. Within 2 weeks of the Hungarian GP we had the news of one of the young GP2 drivers succumbing to injuries sustained by a loose wheel of the race leader. At the Hungarian GP we had Felippe Massa who was hit by a spring which came loose of the Brawn GP car of Barichello. Massa needed to be operated on and looks like he might miss the remainder of the season. I really liked Massa for fighting back all the time and trying to overshadow Kimi who now looks hopeless in the Scarlet Car although he did manage 2nd on the podium. Apart from all this happening we had the Renault team who messed up big time for race leader Alonso. After all that had happened in qualifying how could they not put the bolt on right. And if the did know it wasn't right they should have told Alonso to either stay in the ...

It's been a while since I posted anything. I was out in the US for a month and lost my touch with writing. Rahul suggested that I should start blogging again in my free time so thanks to him for reminding me about my blog! The first thing I come back to see is F1! With three GP's out of the way the surprising part is Brawn GP is leading the pack with Toyota following in hot pursuit. I always knew Ross Brawn was one of the most intelligent guys out there and he built a car with double diffusers which has created a lot of controversy. What I find surprising is why couldn't last years title challengers come up with this idea (read Ferrari, McLaren and BMW). Ferrari's pace has been slow and I don't remember seeing them struggle so much in the past years. The worst season was 2005 and 2003 but they weren't that slow. After 3 races the Scuderia is 9th placed in the constructors championship. Barcelona is going to see major upgrades for Ferrari and I am hoping they get...

This post has been in my drafts since the Italian GP. First of all treacherous conditions for the drivers. The star of Monza Sebastian Vettel became the youngest ever driver to win a Formula 1 race. It also brought about the first victory for Torro Rosso formerly Minardi. I remember watching Minardi in the 2002 season when Ferrari was unstoppable and wondered - Will they ever be able to match the front runners? I guess they have answered their critics. After a long time I saw a German Driver winning for an Italian team and at the presentation ceremony hearing the same sequence of national anthems when Schumi used to win for Ferrari. I hope Vettel will one day drive for Scuderia after all it is said that Schumi discovered him. Vettel still want's everyone not to compare him with Schumi. Ferrari though could not match the pace in their home GP and Massa who should have taken advantage of Hamilton's situation just managed to finish one place ahead. Then came the Singapore GP. F1...

Well it's started. The 2008 season is go! Two races down and we already have rumors flying around. According to some websites the Prodigal son of Renault is now interested in going to the Prancing Horse's team! Now that is something I feel many Ferrari fans won't want to see. Kimi has finally won his first championship with the Scarlet team and I really do hope he makes it two in a row. This time Ferrari not only faces the Silver Mclaren Team but also BMW who have shown tremendous form in the past two races. Looks like it's going to be a three way battle for the title this year and with almost 6 top drivers fighting it out for the Drivers championship. If the last season was anything to go by this year it's going to be one hell of a season. The last I remember three teams fighting it out was the 2003 season with Mclaren, Williams and the eventual winners Ferrari. Last year Ferrari had a lot of issues with finishing races and it's already started this season. The...
