Yesterday was perfect!
Nalbandian won the Masters Series Madrid and Raikkonen won the F1 championship.
Pity the rugby team "los Pumas" did not reach the final in the Rugby World Cup.

Early in the morning, my countryman David Nalbandian was playing her second Madrid MastersSeries final vs (1) Roger Federer after defeating (2) Nadal and (3) Djokovic. Nalbandian defeated him, now the h2h is 7-8. And he played wonderfull tennis. I screamed and shouted like in a soccer stadium.
Few minutes after the tennis match ended, the last F1 race of the season started. The championship definition! 1) I have nothing against Hamilton, but I don´t want to be a rockie winning the championship in his first season. In my particular point of view it should be very unfair with all the oter F1 fighters like Fisichella, Coulthard, Trulli, Webber. A new guy wins the championship only because they gave him the best car. Rockies should not start in top teams! I had the same feeling in 1996 with Jacques Villeneuve. I cheered for Damon Hill this season. - But after watching how much the FIA helped him this season, I become anti-Hamilton, at least for this season. The help he recived in Canada, the penalty for Alonso after the Qualy incident, the McLaren team help, the way he drove under SC, etc. 2) Alonso is a great driver, he is arrogant many times when he speacks, I don´t like his personalilty at all. But I respect him a lot, specially after defeating Schumacher. And he is the champion and he deserved all the respect. He was my second chance to champion anyway, but I think three championships in a row are too much. 3) Raikkonen was fighting hard, I like him, specially after he lost 2003 championship to Schumacher by 2 points. I am cheering for him since mid season. I had all my hopes on him but his chances were fery few. The race, specially the start, was more exiting than the tennis match. I screamed "GO KIMI GO KIMI" whe he passed Hamilton in first corner, then "GO ALONSO GO ALONSO" when he did the same in second corner, then "GO WEBBER GO WEBBER" to see if he could lose another position, but when he lost the grip it was like a goal! Anyway when I saw him running slowly I screamed again. It was a thrilling race, but Raikkonen won the championship, it was amazing, I was very happy  |
