Emotions, Tears, Celebrations, Hope, Despair, Swing of Fortunes, Chaos, Destiny, Twists & Turns, almost-had-it.. if you wish to see all this in a minute, you should have watched the last 2 minutes of the "just" concluded grand and fitting final F1 race. I am sure it will be debated and discussed who the REAL champion is, but when I sit and write this review of the final F1 race, I could not stop myself from empathizing with FELIPE MASSA.
What a race this was!!Leave behind all those technical things, the last 2 minutes of the race had packed so many things and a big PUNCH at the end!! I am sure, he would have not felt this bad if HAMILTON had maintained his 5th position in the last but one lap, but that's life....!
In case you do not follow F-1, let me not bore you. But it's worth a watch to catch up some news highlights on the last F1 race of this year to see how all those emotions played with the lives of HAMILTON and MASSA. Understandably MASSA was in tears. Especially after a fantastic race, his hopes of championship budded just seconds before he crossed finish line and he erupted with joy assuming he WON it, only to find seconds later that his destiny has changed and Hamilton had the better of the fortunes. I wonder how many of us could expect such a TWIST in the tale.
If you an atheist, you might differ from me, but what a trick does GOD holds back till last minute. What a drama! Isn't it true that Life is so uncertain and full of unplanned things?? We plan so many things in life and we take it for granted with a positive hope that it is going to happen the way we thought, only to find later that the almighty had planned something else. It hurts more when you know you gave your best, but find yourself evaded of the fruits of your efforts. But, I believe all that happens for a reason. In this case, the tears Massa shed might be the fuel of inspiration for the next year to win comprehensively.
Anyways congrats to Hamilton and thank god I got a chance to witness a wonderful race of my life. (do catch some news on F1 to understand better of what i wrote above...).
