I have juuuuuuuust about managed to return my pulse rate and blood pressure to their normal levels.
That was THE most nerve wracking, nail biting, spine tingling race I have EVER seen.
As I just mentioned to the slightly bemused Chili (who doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about) this year I have spent about 36 hours (if you add in qualifying and build ups) following Mr Hamilton and his silver machine and I honestly thought it was all over. But to have the title decided in the last fifteen seconds of that 36 hours is fucking amazing. I was on the edge of my seat… my dad was on the edge of his… my mum, bro and his mate were stood in awe as the last lap unfolded into chaos with the rain coming on too lightly for the tyres Massa and the Ham had fitted. And then… Timo, Timo Glock. A saviour in a white and red Toyota thankfully could not keep enough speed through the wet part of the lap and, losing eighteen seconds in the final circuit, he was passed by both Vettel and the Ham on the final corner giving the Ferrari camp a sudden halt to their celebrations and making me shout at the TV in the same way I shouted last year at his first pole, his first win, his pole at Silverstone and this year with his first British Grand Prix win.
He wasn’t the fastest today, he was certainly not the best, Massa did everything he could and everything he had to, but in the end Lewis’s luck came back to him at the point where I thought I was actually going to fall off the seat. I never wanted to watch that last lap again but I have already just replayed it on youtube just so I could relive that fantastic moment when Martin realised Glock was on the outside of the last turn and that Lewis was past. James certainly didn’t want to believe that it was that simple until the Ham was passed the line and THAT was when Ferrari suddenly stopped their bouncing and stared aghast at the screens to see what was going on.!
I was certainly glad Murray wasn’t commentating for this race, he would have had an stroke, I almost bloody did.! Lewis, next time, just pleeeeeeease do it BEFORE the last race. I don’t think my body could stand up to another race like that. I was more on edge than any other race in history, including that Belgian GP where Hill took Jordan’s first win.
Congratulations Lewis. You have made us all very proud.!
Phew… Right, other news now…
Thank you to Mr Beaton for sorting out this site. Goodness knows what had happened to it, Hwang, please let me know.!
Work has been pretty busy for the past two weeks and I guess Christmas is now well on it’s way to the retail sector. Woolworths are still having problems I notice, maybe I should buy them out and turn them into a Marshmellow Market… soft, squidgy and extra long. Hmmmm.
And so to bed. Well actually to Mario Kart, let us hope I have Lewis’s luck tonight.
Fucking get in their my son.! Hehehehe.
