Can Hamilton Do it This Time?

Flashback F1 season 2007 : Brazilian Grand Prix, Hamilton leads Alonso in the Championship by 4 points, and leads Raikkonen by 7. Race starts, Hamilton loses positions like crazy, has a gearbox problem, moves down the order and finally finishes 7th. Kimi, on the other hand, barges ahead the lot, and clinches the title, finishing first by a mere 1 point.

Year 2008, and we have almost the same situation. Hamilton with a 7 point lead over second place man Massa. The Mclarens have been stronger this season just like last year. The only difference is, that this time it is Felipe chasing Hamilton, and not the Iceman.

So, will Hamilton be able to pull it off this year? Or will it be another setback... and Massa will take it from him again?? The brazilian track has always been a stronghold for the ferraris.. and the mclaren of Hamilton has had a perfect season.. with almost nothing going wrong.. so will the law of probability catch up with him again??

As for me - I would really like to see Massa win the Championship. He deserves it. As in, being overshadowed by Schumi for so many years, losing out to kimi last year... i think he really deserves it. Hamilton still needs to mature... just by the mistakes he made at the japanese GP, show that he still has a long way to go to be someone even close to Senna or Schumi.

Anyways... all we can do is wait.. and watch the Brazilian GP, and hope that the Brazilian clinches it at his home venue!!

New Blog, hopefully more Posts!

Yeehaa!!

So ive finally woken up in the blogosphere again... and started up fresh! So, there you have it, a new blog (and if you have not noticed it already, its called WYGIWYS), a new look, and (hopefully) some new material!!

I basically got totally bored of my old blog(s), on which there had been no new posts since zillions of years, and so, the delete button was really not difficult for me to find!

What all has happened since my last post - Michael Schumacher retired (now you know how many zillions of years i have been talking about), Roger Federer went into his slump (and came back again), i changed city.. and then my country of residence... became father to the cutest possible child...... man its been long.

But.. hopefully, WYSIWYG is not going to be so slow as the last one. Hopefully, i will be posting regularly... and hopefully i will have more people here...

So.. way to go WYSIWYG.. your first post is already done! and there are many more to come!!
