The Color Of The Season – Scarlet…

Ferrari & Renault F1 cars

I have been watching Formula One for about eight years now. During this time I have truly supported two teams and two drivers.

The first of the driver-team combos I followed was the Schumacher-Ferrari combination. Then in early 2003 I switched to Alonso-Renault. At the time I truly believed that only Alonso could step up and challenge the master, two years later he was the champion.

In the following years Alonso moved to McLaren but my loyalty always remained with Renault. He returned to Renault in 2008 and I was happy to see my favorite driver in my favorite team. Now after two years Alonso is moving to Ferrari, this time though my allegiance switches with him :)

I cant remember a season of Formula One I was more thrilled about. The return of Micheal Schumacher has only added to the anticipation for the next few months. And today was the launch of the new Ferrari F1 car! An event that served only like a trailer to the blockbuster that this season is going to be.

Something truly special is on the cards this year :)

Moments…

After watching Formula One for a better part of 6 years, I have realized there are moments that as a F1 fan I will never forget. Pictures that are engraved in your mind forever…

End of a 2 year Search…

I have been searching for a specific piece of merchandise for over 2 years now… I had even mentioned it in one of my past posts. I had given up on finding it coz it was out of production about a year and half ago.

But then there is a brilliant quote from Locke(from the tv series Lost)

To find what you are desperately searching for, sometimes all you have to do is stop searching for it…

Guess where I found it… Thousands of Kilometers away from home, on the other end of the country! To be specific in a small shop in Shimla…

Renault F1 Team - Fernando Alonso Cap 5

What is brilliant is that its exactly what I wanted… No compromises anywhere(considering I was ready to do some this was a nice thing :P ).

Ps: The cap is the “2005 Renault F1 Team – Fernando Alonso(No. 5) Cap”… That was the season of his maiden F1 Championship!

So Many Dreams Swinging Out Of The Blue…

A conversation I had in mid 2003…

H: So you watch F1?
Me: For a while now…
H: Whome do you support?
Me: Fernando Alonso and Renault.
H: Why? Cant you choose someone who can win?
Me: :)

I believe the time has come to answer that question…
