napa plak challenging sunday? kan ari nih baru saturday. some of u might say that when looking at the posted date. nope, kali nih bukan aku wat posting ahead of time and tersalah select tarikh ker, but i'm typing this entry anticipating for tomorrow

as we all know (or rather sapa2 yg amik tau n amik pedulik knows), season f1 nih dah sampai ke penghujungnya. for those yg tatau, untuk racing, season f1 akan bermula pada march n end in october. bulan2 tak racing lak, mereka tak duk diam2 tau, it's filled with testing, testing and more testing - i'm not including developing coz developing is a never end story, sepanjang masa team akan develop, wat r n d untuk better car performance

actually this entry adalah luahan perasaan seorang aku dan bagus untuk bacaan/rujukan amatur2 dalam f1

some of u might already guessing apa yg aku nak cakap ek? haaa, betulla tuh, topik pasal my beloved kimi raikkonen ah nih

actually, yg menyebabkan i'm typing this entry yelah engine failure yg kimi hadapi at d end of practise session this morning (morning kat italy yer tuan puan)

entahla apsal, kimi nih asyik menghadapi bad luck yg bertimpa2. kalau sesapa yg tak minat f1, atau sesekali jer selak paper tgk result f1, korang takkan sedar/admit kimi is the greatest f1 driver alive. kalau follow season nih ajer punya f1, sure kata "eleh, apa sangat ah kimi tuh kot banding ngan alonso". seriously, i'm not saying alonso bukan pemandu f1 yg bagus. it takes a great driver to hold himself under pressure - ingatkan balik f1 kat ana tah yg michael pressure rapat alonso but alonso bleh drive safely n still win that race

but still, alonso nih, kalau perati this season, luck is always on his side. ehehhe, even pengulas f1 tuh pun cakap camtuh tadik during qualifying session.

kalau si alonso nih full of good luck, kimi lak full of bad luck. kalau perati, keta mc laren nak rosak, slalunya laa 9 out of 10 times, mesti keta kimi gak rosak. keta montoya besa ajer, menten jer. padahal montoya bawak pun ganas ajer. maybe kimi pushed his car more than the car can take it kot, who really knows.

paling frust kat mana ek, kimi dah masuk last lap dah, bertahan gak ngan keta yg vibrate tak hengat sebab suspension failure yg telah affect his car. sumer pun kagum, how he could hold on to that car. but memang frust laaa, exactly 1 lap short, tayar itu telah tercabut

kalau perati kan this season, kimi out-qualify montoya punyala banyak kali. sekali 2 jer montoya berjaya out-qualify kimi. tuh jer menunjukkan kimi is a special driver. special driver tak terhasil setiap ari. so far, yg memang legend giler, ayrton senna laa. sila klik sini untuk baca full story pasal this greatest f1 driver (sadly dead, though). pastuh, yg sempat aku tgk, abgku mika hakkinen. michael schumacher tuh pun is one of the special driver, tp sepanjang aku dah obsess f1 nih, i can see that dia pun sama la cam alonso, mostly assist by good luck yg berada pada his side. but, michael nih la yg slalu pull special something out of nothing. respect la gak kan kan

kimi is really a special driver. he improves with time. masa mula2 dia join f1, style driving dia reckless, lebih kurang sama cam montoya. but now, dia lebih mature, cool ajer drive with the same gut yg tak pernah pudar. tp sebab dia dah tak reckless, he makes less mistake. tak macam montoya tuh, iskk, geram aku nih

season nih berbaki lagik 5 races. i trully believe that mc laren akan menang constructor, tp who knows. sumer pun possible kan. harapan untuk kimi menang driver tuh memang takder dah aku rasa. slim yg amat. takperla, season depan ada lagik, insya-Allah

nak share beberapa interesting things yg kimi said during qualifying press conference tadik:

when asked "how does today affect your sleep tonight?", kimi dengan senyum kiut jawab "i'll sleep as good as ever", muahahahha  good 4 u kimi

then, later on, bila ditanya pasal championship, dia dengan kul menjawab "we got nothing to lose. we'll just try as hard as we can. i'll go as fast as i can..."

yup, that's right.whatever will be will be. menda nih kita leh practic in real life gak - try our very best, we got nothing to lose, but in d end, whatever happen, kita redha jerla dengan ketentuan Allah tuh

to end this entry, i just wanna say. i don't worry too much for tomorrow. maybe kimi takkan dapat 1st (probability still ada), but i'm sure he can pull something special as always and end up atas podium gak, insya-Allah, dengan syarat keta tak wat hal lagik ler. ganbatte kimi, u can, yeahhhhh
