Wheel Fever - Let's Rawk!

Renault take 2 out of 3 Podium Finishes in Spain

I really got into F1 this year. A lot of my friends have been watching it for years but I never really found it that interesting…not interesting enough to stay up to stupid hours in the morning watching it though. It all changed when I watched the F1 when it came to Melbourne, Australia this year. This meant that I could actually spend a Sunday in my normal time zone watching the race.

The Podium



The most memorable moments for me was when Webber's gearbox failed on him whilst in the lead on in his home crowd, and also when Button's engine caught on fire and forced him to retire just inches short of the finish line!!

Chatting to one of my good friends last night, he was telling me all about Renault and how he's been following them for so long now. Even pre-winning days. He has also been picking fairly consistent winners/quinellas on the F1 for this season too which is interesting as I usually have a long chat to him before I visit my local TabSports. Not that it was terribly hard to pick, but he advised me on the Alonso/Schumacher quinella with Alonso to win. As fate would have it Alonso did take out 1st with [Ferrari's] Schumacher 2nd and Renault's Fisichella coming in at 3rd position. These results cementing Alonso's and Renault's 1st place in the Driver and Constructor league tables even further.

I guess the appeal from the F1 races are that it is simply the best race around! You have the fastest, toughest, most expensive race scene around, with teams spending millions of dollars just to improve 0.01 of a second each lap.

It should me mention that all races are 'simulcast' on the f1.com website live, and you can track lap times and splits for all cars, and see a text based commentary. Flick over to Renault.com's F1 site, and you can watch the two Renault cars move around a digram of the track, and track all kinds of schematics from the cars, IN REAL TIME! Speed, % brake and throttle, cornering g, etc. Gives you a very real appreciation of just how fast these machines are.
