Grand Prix Rejects

G'day folks,

I'd started writing a Korean GP review and, um, managed four paragraphs ... before time pressures, work pressures, and general other stuff (like purchasing a new Korean car for family purposes ... feel free to guess what it is) means unfortunately I have to concede defeat.

With the Indian GP now just around the corner, and all our site efforts being devoted to the impending disaster of our live pre-race video show and live audio race call, I'm afraid there won't be a written Yeongam review. Sorry if you were hanging out for it and if not having a complete set of reviews this year will cause you some kind of existential crisis.

As announced on the Singapanorean edition of the podcast, I'd gone with Vitaly Petrov for ROTR for his Schumi-slamming efforts.

Cheers,
Enoch

After the inevitable:



Comes this (At least it is the cool way!):

How about for completeness sake doing one, say, after the season is over when you have more time, or something?

Yeah, even if it's just the 4 paragraphs you have written.

I don't want to make it a chore though, because it benefits nobody if you don't enjoy writing the reviews.

You could combine it with India, just like the Eurogian GP review 2 years ago.

Aww that's a bummer. Was looking forward to it.

To be honest, after some races we have had, like Valencia, getting 4 paragraphs from a race can seem a minor miracle!

Haikus FTW.

Ideas?

To the non-F1 fan:

Vettel's champion
already. Race is ok,
oh look rugby's on

(The above is a reaction to BBC focusing on the Rugby World Cup, which was going on shortly after the Korean GP)

To the F1 Fan:

Drivers' Title Won
Constructors' Title too
Rosberg is too slow

Alguersuari beats
Rosberg, what happened to him?
Petrov goes flying

I'm guessing a Hyundai. Anyways, here's a haiku:

Mark Webber is back.
Scoring well he seems to be.
Has Hamilton yet?

Cosmonaut Petrov
Strikes again. Takes out Michael.
Wins ROTR.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

(Sadly not mine but stolen from elsewhere!)

Going to write some driver themed haikus, see if you can match the haiku to the driver! Albeit, they're rather poor...

Taming the bull
The darkness washes over me
I am stuck in another tyre wall

The horse that went lame
A Spanish Grandmaster Flash overpowering me
I got the message

Age and wisdom
Are not mutually exclusive
Blah blah blah

Once he dared to dream
Only now in his cabinet of hopes
Unused razors

Yes! The first was supposed to be about Lewis Hamilton's attempts to keep up with the Red Bulls usually ending up in him crashing...

My first attempt at a haiku, I think I got it right?

Hamilton on pole,
Disappointing in the race.
Alonso gives up.

Edit: Another attempt:

Big crash for Petrov.
Kamui can't beat Lotus,
Hurray for Heikki!

as for the Korean car i my self drive a Kia Cee'd but do they sell those in Oz....?

I'll attempt one

Petrov's very rich
Nick Heidfeld is slightly bored
Senna is too slow
