Saturday did not start as well as I had expected it to start. One look at the timesheets and I knew Albert Park is down the drain even before the lights went out. No traction control, no launch control and see what we got. Only seven cars finished the race, of course not all cars crashed due to absence of electronics. Ferrari for a long long time did not have either car finishing. The last time this happened ironically was on this very circuit, two years ago, when Schumacher and Massa got out due to accidents. Now the last time we did not see either Ferrari finish due to reliability was way back at Nurburgring in Luxemburg, circa 1997. Eleven years! Phew, thats something! Anyways with Sepang practice starting on Good Friday, our men in red have their task cut out. Occupy the front row on Saturday and take eighteen points on Sunday. As simple as that... easier said than done!
Now moving on to football, United did not make mince-meat of Derby, but instead scraped through 1-0 to the top of the table on goal difference, as elsewhere Arsenal could only manage a draw against Middlesborough. Statistically United have been the best attacking and the best defending team this season, scoring 59 goals and letting in only 15. The squad depth is certainly paying off this season as we have seen Sir Alex shuffle and rotate players quite frequently.
RBS Six Nations came to a fantastic climax at Cardiff later in the day with Wales completing the grand slam in style. They devoured the French 29-12, as Shane Williams, according to my prediction in an earlier post scored a crucial try and sent the Millennium berserk! England finished a distant second with their 33-10 mauling of Ireland with new number 10 Danny Cipriani taking the lead.

Namaskara! Good post maccha. And to begin the discussion, I must say that last weekend was a mixed one for me.
Friday was a blast with Megadeth themselves playing havoc with my brain in bangalore. and come saturday, I wished they hadn'e telecasted the damn qualifying. Sunday was pretty much the same but for the fact that it was a great race with all those fights up and down the order.
