bout bloody time

Congratulations to Kimi Raikkonen for finally clinching the championship in Formula 1. It's about bloody time really. Kimi should be 3-times world champion by now; were it not for the dogged unreliability of his '03 and '05 seasons in McLaren Mercedes. It must be heart-breaking to have the fastest car, the utmost pace, and yet you can't do anything about engine or mechanical reliability.

The only sad thing is he got his world title in a Ferrari. I am a huge McLaren supporter because they're the only team that can really serve it up to Ferrari consistently. That and they have a cool silver/black livery. Were it not for the tifosi (formerly the schufosi) and the bandwagon-ness of every other F1 wannabe supporter, I wouldn't mind Ferrari at all. Never-the-less, it marks an end to a good season in motorsports.
