Great to hear the Australian National Anthem played at the Brazilian Grand Prix. That’s Webber’s second win this year (his first was back in July at the Nurburgring).
And yes, the result of the F1 world championship played out as it inevitably would. A well deserved victory for Jenson Button (the driver’s championship) and the Brawn team (constructor’s championship).
Update: I suspect only an Australian would use the term “ginormous” in the post race interview.
This weekend is the Brazilian Grand Prix – the penultimate round of the 2009 F1 championship.
Because of the time zone difference between Brazil and Australia, the race telecast starts at 3:00am Monday local time. I went to bed pretty early Sunday so I could get up when the alarm went off; I figured I’d get somewhere around 5 hours sleep before the race started.
Ever had that thing happen when you wake up before the alarm clock? You know; it’s really important that you get up at some particular time and before that time arrives you’re awake and ready to turn the alarm off?
Well, that happened last night. Except that instead of waking up at 2:45, I woke me up at 10:30. And then 11. And then 11:30. And so on. I finally gave up at 2:30 and gave up. I’ve had about 4 hours sleep in 25 minute chunks.
I think by 2pm this afternoon I’m going to be falling asleep at my desk.
Who said what?
