I thought today's Formula 1 race was funny. We got a carnage of cars
when several drivers aquaplaned and crashed out at turn 3 of the
Interlagos circuit, including the rainmaster himself, Michael Schumacher
(Ferarri). Those race marshalls stationed there certainly had a very
busy day today as well as the Safety Car driver since it had to be
deployed four times throughout today's race. The race had to be
stopped several laps before the chequered flag (Heh! So much for
"training" supermodel Gisele Bundchen on flag waving) as Fernando
Alonso (Renault) ran into the debris left behind by Mark Webber
(Jaguar), creating more chaos and carnage on the track. Final chaos
ensued in the pits when the engine on one of the top three finishing
cars belonging to Giancarlo Fisichella (Jordan) caught fire. Then there
was a confusion in determining today's champion as well before it was
announced that Kimi Raikkonen (Mclaren Mercedes) emerged as
today's race winner (that's two in a row already for Kimi) followed by
Fisichella and Alonso in second and third respectively. Alonso wasn't
present on the podium as he was being attended to after sustaining
injuries from that final crash. We certainly COULD have used some
incidents to spice things up a bit at Sepang two weeks ago. So what's
in store at Imola a fortnight from now?
