Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We are after second Grand Prix in this season, which was set in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
In my opinion, this one was more intresting than in Melbourne.

On the first lap Fernando Alonso had contact with Sebastian Vettel's car. He damaged his front wing. His team was ready for him on pitstop, but he went throught next lap and before first curve,  front wing destroyed completley, and makes his cars uncontrollable. 
He couldn't do anything with his car, and went out of track.
Ferrari made mistake, they probably want him to make few more laps on new tyres, but unfortunately it all went wrong. Just a misunderstading.

Next thing made smile on face of every F1 fan.
Lewis Hamilton made a little mistake and went to wrong garage, to his old team McLaren instead of Mercedes. Fortunately, he recognized it quickly and go ahead to his team. He must really missed them ! :)

A moment later, Torro Rosso released Jean-Eric Vergne to fast from pit straight on Charles Pic's car from Caterham. That pit release was unsafe, and cost Torro Rosso 10,000 $ fine.

Then problems in pit had Sahara Force India, first Adrian Sutil, and then Paul di Resta. Wheel nuts issue, made team to make decision of retiring from Grand Prix.

Next, Sebastian Vettel has been complaining over the radio that Webber is too slow. They were fighting so raw, that it was so close to crash. Sebastian ignored team order and overtook Mark. There was unpleasant atmosphere in Red Bull Racing team after race. However, Sebastian apologized in interview for this whole accident.

Another problems in pit had Jenson Button. The mechanics had problem with fitting the front tyre. "I think we could have challanged the Mercedes" Jenson said. It  looks like McLaren has same problem with mechanics like last season.

Then were fights between Nico Hulkenberg and Kimi Raikkonen first on pit, then on track, but later Kimi easily passed Nico for being on 8th position.

Next Pastor Maldonado once again was out of track, but this time he couldn't back on track. That's not suprise for anyone.

Later on there was another complaining over the radio, but this time by Nico Rosberg. He said that he is quicker than Lewis, and want to let him pass. However, Ross Brown told him that Lewis could go quicker to, but he is managing his pace by team instructions.

In the end, Massa was so active and fast. However all what he could do that time was being on 5th position.


Many suprises, many disappointments - typical race.
We can say that more were happening in pitstop than on track! 
Only 3 more weeks and we will have another rivalries.
On 12th April will begin Chinese Grand Prix.

Melbourne, Australia

Hey !
So we are after first Grand Prix of 2013 Season!
Such an intresting one.
Q1 on the heavy rain with delaying, and Q2 and Q3 postponed to Sunday.
The main race which brings many suprises.
I can say that the star of the race was Adrian Sutil, after one year break he had a good results, was even a leader for a part of the race, however he was 7th.
Today was a good day for Lotus and every fan of this team. Kimi Raikkonen won the Grand Prix, starting from 7th possition, thanks to his skills and only 2pitstops.
Redbull duet started from the first line, Vettel ended on 3rd place and Webber at 6th.
Ferrari shown that they are fast! Alonso ended at 2nd position, and Massa at 4th.
Nico Rosberg had some electrical problems with his car, he didn't end the race.
However Lewis Hamilton was 5th today, which is very good result  for someone who just swichted teams!
McLaren had no luck, they have huge problems with their cars. Button was 9th and Perez was 11th.
Anyway it was intresting race! If you didn't see it, you really need to ! :)
There was only one minus,  I had to get up early to watch it and even stay at long night to watch qualification. But I missed F1 so much so it wasn't so bad :)
Can't wait for Malaysia next week !

The first racing game.

Hey, Today I've got for you something old and intresting, which is exactly the first racing game in Sony's Formula One series.

This one is based on 1995 Formula One Season, but it was released in 1996.

You can chose everything by yourself: team, driver, track. Also you can play together with your friend against each other. I think this game is a good idea to back into old F1.
The quality doesn't look well comparing with today's, but it's still good enough to play.

Just a simple F1 game :)

Have you ever played this game?




                                                    Chose your favourite team and driver.
                                                            Chose your favourite track.         
                             You can play a original Grand Prix, or you can go straight into the race.
                                                                 The view of game.

The beginning.

Hello everyone!

My name is Dominika, and I'm a huge fan of beautiful sport called Formula One ! It used to be weird that girl likes car and racing, but now it's a normal thing I think. Sometimes I hear: "You are a girl, you better play with fashion not racing" but I don't care, because my love to Formula 1 is so strong. It's hard to explain this feeling, but it's soo good.
I just want to share with you  my emotions, "experience" and opinion conected with it. Also I will try to keep you on with facts. All formula one fans keep together right? Hope you will enjoy this !

Only few days and new F1 season will start. We have new drivers: Esteban Gutiérrez in Sauber, Adrian Sutil in Sahara Force India, Valtteri Bottas in Williams, Giedo van der Garde in Caterham, Jules Bianchi and Max Chlinton in Marussia. As soon as it all starts we will see how they behave on track, where you are not testing your car, you have to fight for win.
First step Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia.
Track's lenght: 5,303 km, 
Race lenght: 307,574 km which is 58 laps.
Jenson Button won on this track last season, who will win this year ?

There is only one thing which makes me sad, I will have to get up so early to watch this live.
But what people do for love, right ? :)
Have a nice day !
