I turns out I can give out bad luck to sportsmen. I dont believe in common superstitions wrt sport(sitting in a specific place will make ur team win ect.) but I was watching the formula one race on tv and I think i could have verbally caused as many as 4 top drivers to retire from the race.
All I did was say “God Bless you …”, Its a common expression I use when somebody impresses me… but this was race ending for the poor drivers. It started with Fisichella he drove brilliantly to catch Michael and I say “God bless you Fisi”, two laps later he crashes out (after) overtaking Michael. Then it was Kimi, who was driving perfectly and was building a good lead(I was hoping for him to win) and so I yelled out the praise… sure enough a few laps later he crashes into a Red Bull.
Then it was Alonso, this one hurt a lot coz I wanted him to win :( I cant believe his wheel came off! Then I realized what I was doing and for the fun of it said “God Bless you Michael” (considering he was going to gain a lot of points over Alonso) and guess what he retired with 2 laps to go! Damn, the whole thing was spooky.
I think it was purely co-incidental that the above happened but what the heck I might as well hv some fun with it *evil grin*
PS: For those who missed the race… It was the best race ever, Read the race review if you want
