Memories

“Rossi is not good in a wet track..” That was what i thought when i knew that this race was going to be a wet race. I think he always get nervous when it’s wet race. From what i can remember, every wet race, he never race smoothly..(wel at least that is from what i can remember..)

This time he start on second position but he finished the race in fourth position. As ussual he didn’t start too good so he loses his second place. But he can got passed other rider until he got third position. That was just the first lap. On the next 3 laps, rossi is down to eight place while stoner slowly but surely start to overtaking other riders. On lap 15, suddenly he got passed Colin Edwards who is in first position.

From there on, Stoner is “un-reachable” by other rider. Until he finish the race on first position, while edwards is finish about 12 seconds behind him.

Well, i think this race was not to entertaining. There was just a little overtaking and some riders that got slip so they can’t continue the race. But at least Colin Edwards was able to get the podium..Huray..!! ^o^

Lewis Hamilton adalah rookie di ajang formula one yang bergabung dengan tim Mc-Laren Mercedes. Pada tahun pertamanya ini dia selalu finish di podium. Itu merupakan suatu hasil yang sangat membanggakan bagi tim Mc-Laren Mercedes dan tentunya bagi dirinya sendiri.

Di klasemen pembalap dia berada di posisi pertama dengan 58 poin diikuti oleh rekan satu timnya, Fernando Alonso, di tempat kedua dengan poin 48.
Banyak yang menyebutnya sebagai juara dunia selanjutnya, karena bagi kebanyakan pembalap belum bisa memperoleh hasil yang sudah diperoleh Hamilton. Tapi ketika ditanya mengenai kemungkinannya menjadi juara dunia, dia menjawab, “Masih terlalu dini. Ini baru tujuh seri. Saya harus cerdas dan menyadari bahwa kamu sedang berada di depan. Ada kemungkinan untuk jadi juara, tapi masih terlalu dini untuk memikirkannya, atau bahkan mengharapkannya.”

“Kami harus tetap konsisten dan terus meraih kemenangan.Semakin banyak poin yang bisa didapat, tentu akan baik untuk saya dan tim ini,” sahutnya.

Race kemaren seru juga !!!

Over taking yang umumnya dilakukan oleh 2 orang pembalap, kali ini dilakukan oleh 3 orang pembalap..Wuih…seru ..

Walau awal2nya sempet boring, tapi sekitar lap 17 mulai terjadi over taking antar pembalap. Yang paling seru emang 3 pembalap terdepan, Casey Stoner, Valentino Rossi, Dani Pedrosa, yang “pa-keukeuh2″ pengen nyusul. :p (bahasa yang aneh)

Tapi tetep, sama kaya seri2 yang lalu, motor yamaha Rossi kalah cepet di track lurus sama motor ducati Stoner. Ya, ta apalah..Tapi tetep keren koq race nya. At least overall ga ngebosenin..

Valentino Rossi gets first podium ! ! !

But not only that, he gave an interesting race to watch. ^-^

He start on 3rd but when the race start, he drop to 8th place. At that time, i was thingking this is gonna be a great race with Rossi drop to 8th place and there was a sign that rain is going to fall down. And it turns to be i wasn’t wrong !! ^-^ The first 5 laps (if i’m not mistake) there was a constantly overtaking between riders. But thank God there was no fatal accident.

In Mugello, we can see, again, that Yamaha top speed is far, well not too far i think, below Ducati and Honda. In staight line, Rossi’s bike is easly being beat by Dani Pedrosa’s bike. (sigh)

But that’s the plus point in 500 cc. We can not possibly know what will happen in the race. ^-^
