bluebear_74Formula 1 was on here in Melbourne today, not sure if there's any F1 fans on my flist. I usually watch bits and pieces every year and it was no different this year, though I was rooting for Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) (I was also rooting for Kimi Raikkonen last year also). So glad he won, though only 8 cars finished the race, so many mechanical failures and crashes. Poor Mark Webber didn't even make it around the 3rd corner. I really hope Melbourne doesn't lose the race, I think people take it for granted and therefore don't go, this was its 13th year in Melbourne. They want to make it a night race but people are complaining about the noise, it's only 3-4 days in the whole year, don’t like it MOVE!, It's one of the few events Melbourne has in the whole year. I'll be really pissed if John Brumby loses it to Sydney (who have been eyeing it), I didn't even vote him in, probably wouldn't have either, only got the job because Steve Bracks retired. I'd much rather a race on the outskirts of Melbourne's CBD, than Eastern Creek (not interesting at ALL), it'd be another story in was in the heart of Sydney, how cool would racing on the bridge be?
I feel bad for my brother, who went to the race in the 39° (102°F), I called him before and he said he was tempted to buy an umbrella because he was burning in the sun, but then I called him later and he said they didn't sell them (McLaren anyway). His friend was lucky and got corporate seats meaning he's in the shade. He probably won't be home till much later because he's staying for the 2 hour KISS concert. Some people had only gone to see KISS, lol, got there early to get good seats and ignore the cars. I wonder if he'll come back with anythign cool, he said he wanted to buy one of the McLaren jackets, I wouldn't mind one too, but it's like $300.
