Passion of the Month |
My passion this month is BMW Williams F1 team. I love seeing the F1 race since it first started racing in Malaysia. I use to root for McLaren but this year they are not doing so hot and the cars this year are not reliable. BMW Williams this year are doing great! Although their car are not that reliable also but the drivers are doing great this year.
Take Ralf for instance. He won the Canadian GP and he was ahead of his brother. He used his brother racing tactics. The pit stop. Ralf is the younger brother of F1 champion 2000 Michael Schumacher. He is following his brother's foot step quite well and I think he will be like his big brother Michael. Take my word!!!
The other team mate of Ralf is Juan Pablo Montoya. This is Montoya's first year in the F1 race although he has been the BMW William's F1 test driver before. So far Montoya has only finish 1 race but he has potential of becoming a great F1 driver.
