Majestic display...

I had never seen a Formula 1 race with such enthusiasm before!

It all happened in 1 single race - The European Grand Prix, 2007. There were more than a thousand nail biting moments - The heavy downpour at the start which lead to a flurry of cars skid off the track, Hamiltion beginning at the 10th position reached 4th in a flash and then skid out to resume 17th, Ferrari in total command of the race with only 9 laps to go out powered by the magical display of character and skills by Alonso and Mc Laren to complete the race with +8 seconds of lead, Hamilton's skills demonstration by constantly making 6 consecutive fastest laps to finish 9th from 17th...and the list goes on...

The majestic moment was when Alonso overtook Massa and snatched the race from him. 10 laps to go and it seemed to be a clear victory for the Ferrari and Massa when rain gods came to rescue. 9 laps remaining and all cars started to make pit stops to change their normal tires to intermediate wherein Fisichella came in between Massa (who was leading) and Alonso. With great team work and skills, Alonso overtook Fisichella while exiting from the pit lanes and started to ponder over Massa. With great skills, determination and magical display of character, Alonso overtook Massa and won the European grand prix with over 8 seconds of lead. I have never seen this nail biting finish.

With god's grace and one's fusion of belief, determination and character - there is nothing impossible in this world!
Nothing!

This race has just augmented my love for the game...
