Moto GP
Valentino Rossi reclaimed the world title that he lost in 2006-- In the end , the title race was decided with still three races to go -- Rossi reached a number that was mathematical not possible for his rival Casey Stoner to catch up-- In the Japan Moto GP , Rossi rode brilliantly , took the lead and won the race and title in style- Now rest of the races are a formality
Saroja
Go and watch this Tamil movie -- What was good about the movie was the screenplay and the direction and the way the movie was lined up for the climax -- It is difficult to comprehend that we could see such a film in Tamil since the forumula for success is always , five songs , one kuttu pattu , one remix , one shanty dress song with a vamp , three fights etc., -- of Course Saroja does have the songs but the movie went through to the end thanks to excellent handling by Director Venkat Prabhu-- There is comedy too -- Good ones that you can recollect and laugh alone -- Watch the movie but it would be advisable to avoid kids under age of ten--
Formula One
What a race it turned out to be -- One was apprehensive of the conditions -- weather , lighting on the race track . Humidity and dehydration to drivers -- The weather was fine , the illumination and background was magnificent -- You could see the tall buildings behind the race tracks all lit up and it was a all set up correctly for the inagural formula one race at Singapore-- Most of the road race tracks do not have overtaking space but this one had that too in one of the turns -
In Saturday's qualifying the Ferraris had done extremely well - Massa on pole and Raikonen third -- In the race , Massa did everthing well till lap 20 of the 61 lap race -- Nelson Piquet of Renault crashed in the side and this brought the safety car out. Using this most of the drivers pit and have their tyres replaced and fuel refilled. Massa did the same - except that when he left the pits , he took the fuel nozzle and the hose with his car -- it was a strange sight to see the car travel the entire pit lane with the fuel noozle and about two metres of the hose-- By the time Massa stopped and the pit crew ran to his car and wriggled the nozzle and allowed Massa to join the race he was last -- from first to last -- (Alonso took this big favour in to his stride and won his first race of the year for Renault ) -- that was not enough - for exiting the pits in a unsae manner , Massa was given a drive through penalty as well ( in formula one terms , he get in to the pit lane and exit through it at a reduced pace and this drops your standing in the race further ) Raikonen managed to get up to fifth place and then on the 58 th lap found the side barriers and thus Ferrari ended with no car finishing the race and no points - Hamilton managed a third place and he now leads the championship by seven points and with three races to go-- I think this race was big one and Ferrari have lost it in terms of a Constructor or a Individual title
