So near yet so Far…

I don’t know what kind of attitude would you throw if your almost in the brick of finishing the race and then just because of a slight disappointing circumstances you lost the chance of winning before your very eyes …

Few weeks ago, everyone in Manaco was surprised of what could have been a championship points for a rookie F1 team Force India. Adrian Sutil the driver of Force India is running perfectly on the 4th place almost the whole race, he is fighting with the two power house Ferrari’s. He prooved the possibility of scoring championship points for a car that is not even a midfield. At lap 67 of 78, a heart broken moment happened. Adrian Sutil was hit from behind by Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn ran into the VJM01 that had kept him at bay for so long, puncturing the rear tyre and damaging the rear suspension. Adrian returned to the pits to retire from his finest race performance to date. According to the investigation it was an accident. Kimi tried his best to avoid Adrian’s car apparently, the brake of the Ferrari car did not performed as expected to be. It was a devastating moment for Adrian. I saw him in the pit crying in anguish.

Also, in the same week…the celebrated Indy Car driver Danica Patrick suffered almost the same incident as Adrian Sutil experience. In her race at Indianapolis 500 her fellow driver Ryan Briscoe hit her car from the side going out the pit lane. It was a 92nd lap of 500 when the incident happened. Here it’s different, it was not an accident but a stupid mistake of Ryan Briscoe. Unaware Patrick was after his head and then just took off and the next thing they knew both of them retire from the race which made Danica furious.
