F1asco

Sunday's F1 race at US was a failure. Though I was thrilled to see Narain finishing fourth but I never wanted all those fourteen cars to leave the pit lane before the start. I personally think that six of the drivers who were allowed to race in Bridgestone tyres should have left the field but they thought otherwise. The driver’s championship and constructor's championship overwhelmed their sportsman spirit. It was no fun watching six instead of twenty cars. It was a cake walk for Ferrari who was taking nearly twenty seconds for a pit stop as against eight in normal circumstances. Even hardened Ferrari fans like me didn't like what happened there.

Was the race necessary? It was like playing a cricket game with seven players just for the heck of playing it. In this chaos NK managed to score five points, a bright side of the store perhaps.
