Witnessed one of the controversial F1 races..

I have informed all my friends who I could contact and talked like a kid about my plans to go to Indianapolis for US Grand Prix. I told all my colleagues about it; few responded 'WOW' and few did not have any clue what Formula ONE is. I was quite happy when I found out from the support staff that H row in paddock is close to the start line. But, my camera with 3X zoom could not capture the podium, pits and etc..
What an awful race that was? I wanted to check the pole positions and news but Vodka put me into bed early. I had no clue about the Michelin Tyres controversy and was excited as others in the stands to see all the drivers in their positions prepared to race. Then came the surprise of the day. Immediately after the formation lap, all the drivers except Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi started to head to pits. What the hell is going on here?
It was a race between two strong drivers, Schumi and Barric. They were mad today too, when they competed between themselves. When Schumi tried to overtake Barric and Barric drove his car out of the track, I thought that the Indian F1 star, Karthikeyan has a chance here to make it to podium. Damn, Barrichello joined back into the race!
The race is ofcourse controversial, all the drivers who started the race finished, Narain could win some points, Jordan made it to podium and loud boos rang out from every part of the packed stadium. Can I get to watch a race like this again? Hopefully. not. In a country where Nascar is more popular than F1, you need better races than this to woo the crowds. Photos would be posted soon!
