Moto GP & F1

Last Sunday saw two races worth watching. One on two wheels and one on four. While in Moto GP, it was fun watching the doctor turning it on, it was very painful watching the reds blow their title chances to smithereens.

If the FIA doesn't do something about overtaking in F1 races, more and more people will switch to watching Moto GP. Thanks to Piquet crashing, the Singapore GP turned into a lottery and one in which Ferrari lost very badly. Even though it was of their own making. If the lollipop man had not twitched when he did, Massa might still have won the race.

Meanwhile a true champion stamped his authority all over the 08 Moto GP season. Watching Rossi win the race at Motegi was an experience. The moment he turned up in the top three, you knew he was going to win. And win he did in vintage style. Casey Stoner might well be the rising star, but he still has a thing or two to learn in terms of leading a race and not wilting under the pressure of a confident second place runner.

God knows which Ferrari team will turn up for the rest of the races in F1. For a while in the recent races, Massa was almost proving my prediction wrong. I don't think he has what it takes to win this championship, and I am yet to be proven otherwise. The next three races will tell if I am any good at this game ...
