F1

Its that time of the year when speed enthusiasts get a good helping of their favourite race : F1!

I don't watch any sort of sport on tv- find it pointless and somewhat mind numbing. Be it football, basketball, tennis and the worst of them all- Golf. I just can't. Its like how they say those who can't do, teach?, here's a perfect example of those who can't play, watch. (ok no pun intended-especially to both my brothers and i believe azie as well who watch footie like maniacs)

But...F1's something else all together (yes i'm a walking contradiction!). I used to watch it religiously. Sometime between then and now i grew up, but i still keep myself updated with the going-ons.

Its more than just super fast cars and big labels. Its my kind of sport- Involves a lot of strategy and honour.
If we were to look beyond all that glamour, we'd actually see a mini intelligence agency on a roll.
For them winning's not everything, its the only thing.

Strategy: How much fuel do we pump in now?-should it be a full tank or half?-kind of tires?-How many pit stops?-How long should each pit stop be?

Honour: Eg: Barichello and Schumacher, if Barichello's leading and Schumacher is right behind him, he'd let Schumacher through-because he knows that Schumacher's a better driver or that he'd be able to keep the other drivers behind. All these things are based on the communication both the drivers have. They both might have different pay checks but to them its about honouring themselves, each other and their company.

Not too long ago, when i was pretty pissed off about something-which now has no meaning, Bee Kins explained to me that what i was seeking for is called the F1 concept. And all of the above ladies and gentlemen, is the F1 concept.

If the F1 concept was understood by the mass public, the world would be a better place.(i wish!)
In that sense i guess i'm pretty lucky- Bee Kins and I share the same concept thus making us each others' wing man/woman.

Anyways, its saturday and that means its unwinding time. Will share more thoughts after absorbing everyone elses. *wink*
