The Jinx Is Still To Be Continued In Hockenheim....

Again, in German GP in Hockenheim Kimi cannot win! Yes, he still managed to grab 3 points by finishing in P6, but like he always says, the reason of every race is just to win it. Period.

This time the car handling is the cause. Kimi has difficulties to handle his F2008 since the qualifying session, which caused him to be in the 3rd row of starting grid, P6. At the beginning, he even lost 1 position while trying to overtake Trulli and Alonso. On the middle of the race, huge accident of one of Toyota cars has caused Safety Car period. Kimi managed to go to the pit for 2nd stop, while Hamilton is still leading. After the pit stop, Kimi dropped down to P11, but he managed to overtake several cars in front of him until he’s back to P6, which he could maintain until the end of the race.

On the contrary, Hamilton’s race was close to perfect, thanks to McLaren’s team order and his brilliant manoevre while overtaking Massa.

These bad races have to be ended RIGHT NOW! All the team must work harder on the next 2 weeks time to be well prepared for Hungarian GP. DON’T let things like wrong strategy or car setting be a reason for another fail. Kimi can’t afford another fail. This time he must win! Or otherwise he would miss the opportunity to be world champion. And that might encourage him to retire from F1. Well, that’s one thing I and many others don’t want to see. So, Kimi and Ferrari, do your best in the next 2 weekends! I don’t believe in jinxes, I always believe that every success starts from hard working and commitment!
