So it started early, in Japan. Valentino Rossi(the doctor) was racing in moto gp on his Yamaha. After winning the last 3 races, he was in a good position, his nearest rival some 75points behind him, so in theory he could take it easy. Vale being Vale he didn't, and he won. This was great, and it meant he won his 6th Moto GP title, further proving him as the most succesful rider EVER! So the day starts with joy.
After a few hours we stay in Asia, but went to Singapore. The 1st ever night time GP(if this is fair,bearing in mind it was only done at night so us Europeans don't have to wake up,is neither here on there). Felipe Massa did really well, and got pole position. The race started well, and he ran away from Lewis , but then it all went wrong. N.Piquet Jnr. crashed out, and everyone had to delay their pitstops, when the window was open, there was a mad rush, and everyone pitted. This ofcourse included Felipe. He did nothing wrong, but for the 2nd GP this year, the Ferrari "traffic light system" went wrong. Every other team has a lollipop man telling the driver when he can go,ie when fuel done, but Ferrari have this more efficeint system,which saves 0.5 seconds. Sadly, twice it has gone wrong, I don't know if Kimi's car waiting behing Felipe had anything to do with it, but he got the green, and so went. Sadly the fuel hose was still attached. He went down the pits with this still on,waited about a minute at the end of the pitlane for the crew to pull it out ,but by this point his race, and in truth his title chance had gone. If he had been lucky, Kimi would be half the racer he is claimed to be, and would have beaten Hamilton, but instead he crashed as usual(is he really worth the money he is on?), and Lewis finished 3rd, which is the only relief Felipe has. SO, will Ferrari learn? Will they now learn, and use the good old, reliable system? I doubt it! Even better, willthey sack the waste of space Raikonen, and get in a better driver. Alonso is out of contract, just waiting for a big team, GET HIM! or spend money, and buy Kubica or Vettel out of their contracts. Then Ferrari will be a succesful team. So this was the down
After that, we wait some more hours, and travel to Milan, for the derby. Milan vs Inter. Since Inter have started their(cough cough) succesful era(where they have been given a title,won another after a huge head start,and actually won one by merit((just))), they think they are untouchable. Now they have the "arrogant" one in charge, their egos ae even larger, so this was a chance to truely show who owns Milan. Sadly for me, England sucks, and we no longer have Serie A on tv, so I had to watch this live online, ie just getting updates from Milan.com. In truth, going from that, and what I have been told it was a close match, with Inter doing their usual game of kick the Kaka'. This apparently is a great game, as they always do it, especially that #### Materazzi. Any way, on this night, Ronaldinho on his derby debut scored a great header. Aftet that, the match went to and fro, and Burdisso(Inter) got sent off. Cesar denied Sheva a goal, Abbiati denied Stankovic and Adriano. It ended 1-0, and I am back to be delighted! So that is how being a sports fan works, it can be great, it can suck, or it can be both
