Congratulations Kimi Raikkonen!
It's a great birthday present, isn't it?

Good job, all drivers! I'll see you guys in next season in 2008!

Brazilian Grand Prix 2007

Now, it's about to start the final Formula 1 race in this season in Brazil. There're three drivers who still have a chance to win the championship.

Lewis Hamilton is leading the championship so far. He is one complete rookie driver who has set some glorious records in his first season. Fernando Alonso is a notorious driver who won 2 consecutive championship in 2005 and 2006. But he is chasing Hamilton's slim lead at the moment. Everybody says Kimi Raikkonen is the fastest driver in this season. But he's been sometimes annoyed with his machines glitches. If he had a perfect car, he'd absolutely win this championship.

In a couple of hours, I would be a witness of this season's winner. You can't miss it. However, you have to stay up late until three o'clock early in the morning. Watching F1 race in person or live TV program is sometimes very tough work. A time like this, I remember Ron's word 'Still, I love Formula 1'.

Mixed feelings about F1 Japanese GP


I went to watch the Japanese F1 GP last weekend. (Actually, I wrote this on Oct 6th) It rained and fogged throughout the weekend. But it didn't really on Friday though. It seemed it was tough weekend for audience and drivers.

One driver said the visibility was poor and sometimes near zero so he sometimes only had to follow the blinking rear light ahead. In spite of the tough condition, I had a enjoyable weekend. I was impressed by drivers' great dedication to the race and driving skills under the severe condition.

Still, I hear a lot of news about FSW's poor management for the audience. I'm not happy to hear the news like that. But I hope they will bounce back and make sincere effort to prevent a recurrence of such problems.
