Belgian Grand Prix

In August 29th, the Belgian Grand Prix took place in Spa, Belgium. It is famous of changeable weather, I don't like rainy Grand Prix because I can't watch it clearly and it is dangerous to drive 300km/h. This is the first Grand Prix after summer vacation. Many Brazilian drivers went to their home country, Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) and Jenson Button (McLaren) tried to triathlon. Jenson tried to it every year, but it was the first time for Nico. They said we feel good, I wanted to watch it. Howevery it is important that is the race because the pointers are very nearly between 1st and 5th. Five drivers fight to get point for champion. Now the point leader is Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) he became champion in 2008, he won 3 times this season. Alonso (Ferrari) won twice, I want him to get more points but it is difficult to get any points for F1. So we didn't know who would win the very end, god only knows. I think the McLaren car is stronger for rain than another cars. If it was rain, the driver should have good timing to change the tires. If the rain will begin to rain the car have to change to wet tire from dry tire, the wet has a deeper ditch than dry ones. It is danger to drive dry tire in wet road because the speedy car can't run on the road. The cars easily to slip. And the visibility will become bad, so the crash may happened.

The Spa Francorchamps circuit made road type, and it length is 7,004kms, the tuens has 19 and the clockwide.Belgium's Spa Francorchamps circuit is of the oldest on the current F1 calendar, hosting its first race in 1922 and its first Grand Prix in 1925. The original circuit made up of narrow roads was 9.3miles long and was notoriously dangerous. It was a fast course and until 2000 it was possible to travel over the track as it was a public road.

The race is important for pointers because they can rally and take offensive. The role of the point was changed in this season. The first can get 25 points, they can become the champion but in the season it is difficult to be champion because they has many accident. They should be careful. The trial was difficult for drivers because the rain began. Mark Webber (Red Bull) could get the pole position, the front row was Lewis, and the 3rd grid was Robert Kubica (Renault). Alonso was 6th grid, Jaime Alguersuari (Toro Rosso) was 11th grid, Nico Hulkenberg (Williams) was 14th grid, and Vitaly Petrov (Renault) was 23th grid. The weather was not good, it looked begining rain soon. They were careful it but the drivers wear dry, at 21:00 (Japanese time) the Belgian Grand Prix started... at the first corner, Alonso touched Rubens Barrichello (Lotus) so he had to go to pit because the part was broken and he became 14th. In the 3rd lap, Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber) went to pit and same time Rubens was retirement. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) overtook Kubica and he became 3th. In 5 lap Alonso went to pit again but he still 14th. Vitaly and Michael Schumacher (Mercedes) overtook Rosberg. In16 lap Alonso overtook Vitantonio Liuzzi (Force India) side by side, and the same lap the worst thing happend for Red Bull and McLaren, when Sebastian want to overtake Jenson, he could not control and he attacked Jenson! The Jenson could not run his car had big damages. The big hole in the car. He was reitrement. Sebastian had damages, too but he could drive to pit. He changed the new parts from broken ones. After he had penalty that drive through. Thanks for the crash, Alonso became 9th. And what was even worse, the rain begun... The drivers went to pit one after another, because they wanted to change wet tire. The first driver who went to pit at first was Adrian Sutil, and following him Mark, Kubica, Felipe Massa (Ferrari), JarnoTruli (Lotus), Michael, Kamui, Alonso and so on. So Alonso became 8th. In 15 lap Jarno spined and he was retirement. The drivers were greatly influenced by rain. In 37th lap, the accident was happened Alonso has accident he was spined and he could not drive, he gave up. I could not believe and shrieked. I was very shocked for the retirement... The Grand Prix was bad for me.

Finally Lewis won, 2nd was Mark and 3rd was Kubica. My forebodings proved true. McLaren was won and Alonso was retirement. I was very sad to watch the result. Sebastian could run but he didn't get any points. Vitaly was 9th, Jaime was 10th, and Nico was 14th. I was very sad because Alonso could not get any point. This is the first after summer vacation, I was looking forward to watching it during summer vacation. But there are 6 Grand Prix in this season, he still has chance to get point. I'm looking forward to him. The next Grand Prix will take place in Monza, Italy. This is the special circuit for him. I believe God in the Monza. Everybody should watch it!! I hope the Grand Prix will be special for us. I heard that there is the god in the Monza the god suport Ferrari. There are many fan in Italy because there is the home for them. I've never watched the Italian Grand Prix on TV. The circuit was made special the circuit can be fastest. They can drive 300km/h because it has not any corners and has many straight. McLaren is stronger for straight than Red Bull so I think it is the advantage for McLaren. But they will be 2nd or 3rd I think because 1st is Ferrari, it is absolute. Jenson had big damage in the race, but he is safety. I think the sport is wonderful again and I respect the drivers because it is very dangerous for driver because it is too speedy. However if I were born again I would have wanted to be racer because I want to be the fastest in the world. I hope every drivers safety and Alonso's win!!
