Ze First Post

So there are countless blogs with peoples own shabby analysis. I will now add to this sphere of information with ....I am going to say an often biased view of the three sports that entertain me.

Without Further ado I will introduce my Formula 1 Team.


McLaren - Formula 1
My support for McLaren happened for the best reason a child can select their team, their colours are awesome and they have the capacity to win and thus inject victory into my life. I also wanted to steer clear of the juggernaut team. The one with all the fans *cough* Ferrari *cough* but not throw my support in with a team that would only have me wishing I went for a team that challenged for wins. So when the McLaren rolled out their 1997 challenger in silver and black I found my team. As I grew older I either became more like my team, like a dog looks like their owner, or I lucked out and found an organisations whose way of doing business nestled in comfortably with my way of seeing the world of Formula 1.


The colour scheme that sucked me in
The 2011 McLaren











Quite a good looking car one must say. I recall some brilliant moments in career of being a McLaren supporter, most notably the 2008 World Championship victory which had my punch a chair in frustration, moments before Lewis passed Timo Glock for the final points needed to take the championship from the extremely gallant Felipe Massa and his Ferrari team.

Lewis Hamilton passes the Toyota of Timo Glock to secure the extra championship point he needs to beat Felipe Massa to the 2008 Title.
 While there were some awful moments like for example taking my frustrations out on a unsuspecting hotel room when Lewis slipped of the pitlane entrance in China in 07, or when David Coulthard decided stalling his McLaren on pole position at Monaco in 2001 was the best way to get a 5th placed points finish.


I mention McLaren first because my other two teams managed to chump it up a bit this season, and there isn't much glory in which to speak of for the Penguins and Liverpool and their seasons are all but over. So my analysis will be mainly focusing on the F1 season moving forward.
