Ferrari 1-2..Rules magny cours!!

Destiny has the final say in all life moments..But luck had a laugh at it at magny cours!! Who would have thought mclaren get penalty for both cars? Lewis was down 10 places and Heiki was down the grid!!

Great qualifying by both ferrari stalwarts!! Kimi was especially too good but Felipe was not left out either!!! Scarlets rules magny cours for years together!! Schumacher was the king winning it in 3 continuous occasions. Other team to win at this circuit was Williams and Renault!!

The race day was no different at circuit which is play ground for scarlet. Kimi and felipe started in style!! 2 horses were galloping without any trouble till 35 laps. Mclaren fans had heart attack and scarlets were relishing when drive through penalty was imposed on lewis for missing a kerb. To my view it was little harsh but rules are rules right!!

Kimi fans( including me who is die hard) had troublesome moments when his horse was slowing with exhaust pipe loosened risking the engine itself.Engineers could not do anything during 2nd pits. As destiny has it, kimi was able to get great lead time and could afford to gallop slowly with felipe racing ahead to numero uno.

Felipe raced to his 8th podium and kimi could able to finish 2nd. The good thing is that lewis couldn't able to get any points and robert had less points to him. Lastly, trulli for toyota had a dream race to hold robert and heiki for a well fought 3rd place which was really great driving for the veteran who is driving the slow car and holding much faster car behind.

It was a great race for Scarlets and happy moments for "anything would do for scuderia" fans like me!!!

Deutscher into last 4 !!!

Commitment!! Determination !! Teamwork!!! And of course Luck was with Germany to steer them into the Last 4 of EURO 2K8....

They were favorites at the start of the innings..Started in style against Poland..But mistakes happened against the match with croatia.. Mistakes happen in life and people go heavenly when they learn from mistakes..Germans did the same and came back with 1-0 against Austria.

Last 8 match with portugal was the best one. It was high voltage match and was in fast forward mode with 3 goals for germany and 1 for portugal in first half. It was oscillating one and portugese came back again. It was anxious and heart stopping moments for german fans. But they held ports till 90th minute.

Now into last 4 and have to compete with best team, its a real challenge and live up to betting odds.

It will be celebrations on german soil and for me in India if they go into finals!!!

Praying and Hoping to see deutscher in the FINALS!!
