Though in front of me is a straight line, there is a sharp turn at the left and I have considered it an accident prone area. There are two crashes happening throughout the race. It has both times occurred in front of me. I could see it, hear it and even ‘smell’ the explosion.

Everyone around me is expecting Massa (Ferrari) to be the first. Massa is leading the pack and was way ahead of the laps. He is the first to go pit stop for refuelling and it is a shock that the fuel nozzle is still attached to the car when he drove away. The mechanic rolled on the floor and there is a collective roaring.

Massa was forced to stay aside and wait helplessly for the mechanic team to come and pull the nozzle away. Being a racing vehicle, even a short step on the paddle would have moved far; the mechanic team has to run quite a distant before that can reach the car. Every quiet minute is giving opportunities for the other racers to catch up and overtakes the Ferrari.

In a speed car racing as such, ever single minute counts and from the first to the last is going to hit the driver and the supporters’ confidence. Moreover, the narrow and challenging race circuit is making it very difficult for the cars to overtake one another. After successful chasing back to the 4th position, the Ferrari was smashed into the barrier and had considered lost the game.

The crashing and the bumping have made the race more exciting. For someone who is always number 1, everyone is looking for a miracle that allows Massa to come back into position.
