We've reached the end of the season and it's official, Kimi Raikkonen is crown World champion. This was a surprise much to the amazement of Ferrari fans and Raikkonen drove extremely well in the final race in Brazil to steal the title from Lewis who was so close and yet so far. Murphy's law kicked in at the worst possible time in his McLaren car and Lewis ended up being tied with Alonso on the points effectively making him 2nd due after comparing finishes.
A lot of hungama is going on with the teams, Renault is yet to announce it's lineup and so does Toyota, Force India (Spyker), Honda and a host of other teams. Alonso being dropped by McLaren doesn't look like a possiblity to me, in an earlier post I'd written at length at how both Alonso and McLaren need each other. McLaren has appealed against a technical anomaly which saw two drivers from Williams and BMW not being penalized and any favourable ruling in this matter could make Lewis Hamilton the world champion.
Singapore circuit has been cleared for next years calendar and a night race should be exciting for the drivers as well as the spectators. I for one have been very lazy in updating this blog primarily because I'm stuck with no internet most of the time. Trick or treat, it's Halloween time and I hope the scares are not life threatening. I also wish all my readers a very Happy Deepawali in advance in case I end up not posting anything in the next week or so.
Christmas time is coming and the prospect of the very smell of the season is an exciting prospect, no matter how many carols you hear, no matter how many cards you send and receive, it's Christmas fever from now on and I'm going to indulge into the season. Every bit of it.
