Formula One - A sport that has it all.
Sportsmen, Machines Roaring like thunderbolts, Engines Bigger and with power that could give JETS a run for their money, Technical excellence, Design excellence, Gorgeous PIT BABES, fans all over the world and did I mention ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE sports gears in all - THE FORMULA ONE CAR and of course .... THE LEGENDS !
One man driving up one of the worlds most expensive one seaters with blazing speed that could rip off our mumbai city roads in a single roar n Go! A sporting event that needs a real Larger Than Life racetrack and a crew more skilled than the most gifted technical expertise in the whole world. It is governed by the FIA regulations so as to deliver speed whilst keeping SAFETY in mind and to govern the rules as to design specifications, technical controls from within the crew and driver thus also delivering heart pounding , pulse racing event .
It began somewhere around 1950 and has been the Main event as I would say forever. This is a sport which has a little bit of everything in it plus it shows a great heart as the two drivers racing for the same team show their team spirit and fight for not their glory but for the TEAM.
Formula One has been into existence since a very long time but with proper FIA rules and regulations making it thus more intense and interesting and definitely more and more difficult for the driver has been generating responses beyond imagination. As this is one of those sports where you do not know whether you will make it and even if you do has the performance been worthwhile as the pressure here is serious and BIG TIME arguably as large as the sport itself. The grand prix which means the GREAT EVENT hosts the race into several parts - starting with the practice session, then the qualifying rounds where the drivers literally gear up and are all set for their best performances to win the POLE POSITION spot for the headliner, the main event - THE CHEQUERED FLAG - The final countdown where it is not one mans performance but the whole team has to be the best in every sense of the term as the team needs a Fabulous Driver with an attitude that could set fire to all opponents, a real team member - the other driver who also drives for the team, the whole crew with their perfect and rigorous training and the technical design director of the Monstrous machine. All in all when stand as one ... can only then the sport be truly brilliant looking like steven speilberg's Action Chase sequence and setting the thunderous applauds greater than those heard at the OSCARS as every single fan's heartbeat almost drops and then PUMPS up for the final break even point where every second, millisecond matters and finally the only thing stands out is the final touch at the chequered flag , the man and his machine taking the POLE POSITION at the circuit.
There is so much more that can be said regarding the points earned at every race that takes the drivers to the top, the teams points that takes the constructors championship to the top and then there are the champagne and trophies sung beautifully with the National anthem of both the Place where the event takes place and the winners birthplace / Country.
Thus with every curve the brakes hit hard and with every straight road you hear the JETS roar , the heart keeps pounding and the pulse keeps racing and at the end all you are left out is with WANTING MORE OF IT !
Formula One has always been one of my favourite sports and will always BE One, hey after all..... ITS F1.
be well
