I so feel bad for Lewis Hamilton
I was sitting in CCD when we suddenly realized that the F1 race today would be over by then and we would have a new champion.
I wanted Lewis Hamilton to win of course. But there was this thing in my mind that wanted Ferrari to win.
Ferrari not Kimi Räikkönen I must say. And that happened some how. Big surprise. I got the news from Puneet who probably thought that I was pulling his leg by asking him the question on a SMS at 1 am in the morning.
He gave me the race result with a twist of sarcasm. I thought he was kidding and telling me the result I wanted to hear. I confirmed the result by checking the news on my mobile. Tata Indicom’s mobile internet comes handy at times like these.
And it was indeed a pretty big shock to see the totally unexpected result in todays race.
Hamilton would win the championship someday. He is the new Raikkonen considering Raikkonen has now removed the tag of great-driver-to-have-not-won-a-championship.
As for Alonso… He can go and do something that I would not like to mention here. Congrats to Raikkonen and a job well done to Hamilton.
PS. The race result makes me think of so many conspiracy theories on what could have happened in the backend. Ferrari being pretty much satisfied with the penalty applied on McLaren earlier this year is one of them. I would not say much on that. I am just plain happy that Ferrari would have the No. 1 car next season.
