I am officially coining the term (the Mercedes) floor palm
For times when a face palm just isn’t enough…

There is an inescapable intensity in his eyes that quietly let the world know he was born to race. For what we missed there are no words that can express the loss, but we have to be thankful that we caught a glimpse of the magic.
Formula One driver Sebastian Vettel has taken the Formula One World Drivers Championship!!!!!!!

Now it’s time for two Formula One test drivers both sure to follow in Sebastian’s footsteps to step up to the plate and fight for the Formula Renault 3.5 World Drivers Championship in the season finale at Catalunya, Spain.
Questions is, who will it be?
Robert Wickens…

…or Jean-Eric Vergne?


Legends.
We were in a similar situation last year, where it was mathematically possible, though unlikely, that someone other than the championship leader would win the championship. Remember what happened? The underdog of the championship won it. Though it is unlikely that anyone other than Vettel will win, we can but hope, since 2011 has, for the most part, been much less predictable than 2010.
Bring on Singapore.
BRING IT!!!!!!!
To be honest, you would be a bit silly to think Vettel will win here. Singapore is Alonso’s track (although Lewis isn’t far behind) - he was untouchable here last year - got his first Grand Chelem, and the performance of the Ferrari has improved recently. I think it’s Fernando race to loose to be honest. Even if that Red Bull is so ridiculously far ahead of everyone else, which it probably won’t be, Alonso will be right behind them, and he needs a podium to keep the championship open. I think McLaren look very strong too. They have the new DRS package which is very effective, but was too effective at Monza and produced to much grip, which is why the team had to put extra gurney flaps on the top of the rear wing to reduce the grip caused by the high speeds. This also produced a lot of turbulence, and so produced lots of drag and impacted a little on the performance of the car. This week, McLaren won’t need the Gurney flap to reduce the downforce because it’s a slower circuit - this means their DRS will be super effective and also there will be less turbulence, which means the should theoretically be super-quick this weekend too.
But the most important thing is that the theoretical closeness of the cars this weekend is going to give us one hell of a race!!!!! :D
I just hope I can watch it :(

Ladies and gentlemen… The newest picture with Robert Kubica! It was taken on yesterday’s night in Tuscany, while he was playing some poker ;) I’m really glad to see his smile! We can’t wait to see you in the cockpit, Bobby. Get well soon!

I’m so, so glad to see him looking so well and happy :’)
Wooooop England won against Argentina in the Rugby World Cup :’) I don’t understand rugby in the slightest, even though I’m adamant its better than football despite never having watched a rugby match in my life. Anyway from what I gather, it wasn’t very good up until the last 15 minutes of so, but still, WE WON!!!! They say things come in threes, so hopefully Lewis or Jenson can ace it at Monza and then fingers crossed for Andy against Rafa tonight!!!
But I think some people are taking this confessions thing way to far. I think the whole confessions blog is a great idea because everyone has their own opinion and it is a great way to express your feelings. But I feel some people are going way to far when they are basically saying ‘Fangirls only watch F1 because the dirvers are fit’. Well I tell you one thing thats utter BULLSHIT. Yes I do like to reblog pictures, watch videos and read articles about Jaime, Seb and Kimi because I love their personalities and I love how they are such talented drivers but thats not all, I love the teams, I love the cars, I love the mechanics, I LOVE F1 as a whole. So I don’t appreciate people saying in not a real fan because I have a favourite driver or favourite team. Because I am a real fan.

I was just about to post something along these lines - the page just seems like a platform for hate…
Fuck yes!!!! Those people are need brain transplants, geez they are stupid. I watch F1 because it is an amazing sport. If I just fancied F1 drivers, do you think I would happily put myself in £42000 worth of debt, have no social life, job, time to do stuff because I spend the whole uni year studying because engineering is the most intense and one of the most difficult degrees to do.
No I do that because I love engineering - it’s incredible and F1 is the absolute pinnacle of that, and that is why I love it. And yes I do want to work in F1, but why would I do something so hard if I just wanted that to perv over the drivers. There are damn easier ways to get into F1, and I hate people who think, I genuinely hate (and hate isn’t something I do) them if they think I obsess over it purely for the drivers.
