The recent sweep by Ferrari's M Schumacher this F1 season has reduced a lot of F1 fan following , obviously because of the predictable results resulting into the boring races.(He has won 5 in a row , think he will win the next 10 too!!)
I was never a serious F1 fan untill I realised the pros of being one.
Three seasons ago , A die-hard Schumi fan made me back rival McLarens Mika Hakkinen.
The PLOT was CLEAR.
- Place my bet on Mika over Schumi.
- Mika would LOSE.
- I would treat the 'lady' for dinner.
For a few races, I displayed my die-hard Mika loyalty and 'MIKA WILL RISE' would be the resilient slogan Amol and I would shout after every race Schumi won.
(Amol, currently has shifted loyalties to William's Monotoya..reasons mite be similar!!)
D-DAY ARRIVED.I betted on Mika Hakkinen over Schumi.
And to put a classy finish to my 'trials for dinner' and a simultaneous beginning to a wonderful story, the plot worked, but with a twist.
Mika beat Schumi.The hunter became the hunted.MIKA DID RISE!!
Always,
Ardent Mika Fan
