Spa-Francorchamps 2011

Vettel has just won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, and good job to him. Yeah, Finger Boy does it again.

It was probably a breeze though, 'cause when you start pole there really isn't much catching up to do in order to win.

And it's another Red Bull one-two, because Webber did quite a great job too, and poor Massa had a puncture and ended up eighth to Alonso's fourth. Rosberg led for a while at the start, but then ended up behind his teammate in sixth.

I love how Force India's just chilling in the middle field and doing really well despite what everyone thought a few years ago when they first started out.

I think the best driver of the race today was probably Button, for epic catching up at the end, and taking on Alonso for third place with two laps to go, after starting thirteenth. He went up ten places from the start, but that's not impressive compared to Schumi's nineteen-place improvement.

It's Schumacher's twentieth year anniversary since making his F1 debut, and he suffered really bad luck yesterday when a tyre came off his Mercedes during qualifying. Poor guy had to start last, but still nobody doubts his driving ability. He totally deserves to be well-celebrated, because no matter how questionable many of his actions were over the years, he was undeniably brilliant, and brilliant people can be assholes sometimes if they're brilliant enough.

I remember watching F1 in Schumi's heyday as a little girl with my dad, and we'd make little jokes about Button's name and watch Schumacher win race after race. Oh good times, good times.


So yeah, a really mundane day today. Spent most of my time doing an e-learning karangan on and off, and then finally finishing literally minutes to midnight (whoa Linkin Park reference). Also watched a tonne of YouTube videos and went out to buy cereal. I have a strange love affair with cereal.

Singapore's getting a new president, and thanks to that there's no school tomorrow so I get to sleep in some more. Catching up on sleep is fun, but I hate waking up really late, because it feels as if I've missed the day. But oh well, the night is good too.



P.S. Raya's almost here. Hell that was quick.

P.P.S. I missed Kimi today.

P.P.P.S. And oh, the weather was simply divine yesterday.

P.P.P.P.S. STGCC 2011 vlog is finally up, by the way. You can watch it here.
