Now i know not everyone is as big an F1 fan as i am, but the first one should be recognisable to most people (and on the program the picture had the harbour on as well), meaning that it is of course Monaco. Surely enough they got that one right. However the next 2 stumped them, in case you wondered they’re Yas Marina, Dubai and Hockenheim, Germany. It became obvious that they only knew 2 F1 circuits, as their only guess for the last 2 was “Is it Monza?”
This handily brings me to this weekend, and if you hadn’t guess
ed already it is the Italian GP at Monza, which means my whole weekend’s TV is sorted. But fear not, if you’re not interested in F1, as i will be filling this post with pictures. For starters here is the Monza GP Circuit for reference. Whenever people realise I'm an F1 fan, they say: “But it’s so boring”. The answer to that is yes there can sometimes be very dull races or sections of a race, but surely that’s true for any sport, not every football match is pulsating exciting, some of them are plain boring 0-0 draws. And in the same way a football player can have a spark of inspiration that changes a whole match, in F1 a driver can make an extraordinary overtake that defies belief.
This a picture of Webber’s stunning overtake only last race, and in case you’re thinking it’s not impressive, then keep this in mind: this is at 170mph, with walls on either side, (when i tried it, i was only doing 130mph). This was only one of several amazing overtakes last GP, and that has seemingly been the case for this whole season.Anyway I'll keep it short, and just leave you with 2 things. First here are my predictions for the race: 1) Button 2)Hamilton 3)Schumacher. Secondly if you’ve got nothing to do this weekend then perhaps give Monza a watch, it could very well be a classic.
P.S. I hope i haven’t bored you too much, and i promise I'll be back to my normal posts next week.
"amazing overtakes"=oxymoron
