Pushing the Limit

If you are into Formula 1, you would immediately know what this photo was about. It's Felipe Massa speeding off from the pitlane with the heavy fuel hose still attached, leaving three crew members tumbling down and the others staring at oblivion and now thinking the world championship is quickly slipping.

The excitement about Formula 1 is that everything are being pushed to the limit. In this case it was a new technology - an electronic system which signal the driver to speed off was introduced to replace the traditional lollipop man. The new innovation failed spectacularly. The boys from Woking aka McLaren Mercedes are smiling when they saw this. The championship is for them for the taking. Three more races to go. Tokyo, Shanghai and Sao Paola here we come.
