Malaysian GP 2016: SundayI got up at 8 a.m. again, worked out, went for my meeting in the morning, and then took off immediately after it at about 11.50 a.m. to get to the circuit. In previous years it was always very jammed, especially at the traffic light just before you turn into the circuit, but it wasn’t that bad this year. I reached the circuit by about 1 p.m., and by the time I got in it was about 1.10 p.m. I did a quick pit stop, and then headed to find Cleste, who had gotten Kimi’s autograph like she wanted! I got to the seats just in time for the drivers’ track parade to start. That was nice. I waved at all the drivers I liked. Most of them waved to the crowd, but Fernando didn’t, the bad fellow. And just look at the car Marcus Ericsson was in! I want it SO MUCH. Then some strange performances were put on, but there was no air show! I’ve only just realised that. How sad. Anyway. Then the cars lined up in their grid positions, and suddenly I saw Nico running like mad and I got worried, but it was only for a toilet break. Seb walked after him more sedately.After that, the race finally got underway at the scheduled time, and we went mad. Well, I went mad when Seb crashed out. I could see it happening right there and it was AWFUL. But later on it was nice to see a few overtakes right in front of my eyes, and of course the others on screen. But I wasn’t really into the race once Seb crashed out. Of course I was cheering Kimi on, and at one point I did think we had a chance of getting on the podium, but as we know now, he didn’t. But Kimi did his best as usual.And the worst part was seeing that Seb would be investigated after the race, and then finding out that he has been given a penalty for Japan? What is wrong with the stewards, seriously? Max has gotten away with so much worse; this was purely a racing incident! Can you name me one driver who has never been caught out in the first corner? It happens/ And Seb even apologised to Nico after the race, which is more than Max would ever do to all the people he has caused collisions with, so I really do find it uncalled for when he labelled Seb and ‘idiot’ and ‘crazy’ over team radio. Someone needs to tape his mouth shut. At one point during the race, I was talking to Cleste and we were both standing near her seat, when suddenly a camera appeared to the left of my face. I didn’t notice it initially, then I did, and I smiled at the camera, and then carried on talking to Cleste as usual. The cameraman just stayed there for ages, focussing on us. People were trying to get up and down the stairs, and he was right there filming us and blocking the way. It was hilarious. I had to move to make way for people to go past, and they were so curious, wondering what he was doing, and they were also apologetic for getting in the way. But anyway, I didn’t see our faces on any screens, so that feed definitely did not get chosen.Cleste and I were pretty disgusted with the race and left as soon as Kimi crossed the finish line. We were walking out while Dan was on his victory lap. No offense to Dan - I like him, and I like Nico, but I just cannot feel happy without a Ferrari on the podium. And I refuse to stay back and thus be caught in a traffic jam for the sake of anyone but Ferrari drivers. The traffic jam after last year’s GP was massive, but I didn’t mind that because Sebastian won for Ferrari! Of course I had to celebrate. I came prepared this year to climb over the railings and onto the track - I wore shorts beneath my skirt, just in case - but that wasn’t necessary after all.The strangest thing was watching Red Bull fans leave at the same time we did. I mean, you guys just got a one-two, do you not want to celebrate with your team? So odd. But anyway, I could hear Les Toreadors (aka champagne music) as I was reaching my car, so yeah, I got out of the circuit pretty quick! The shoeys must have been taking place as I was driving out. So glad I didn’t have to watch that live. :P But anyway, there was no traffic jam, and I got home pretty quickly. After dinner, I washed and unpacked everything, and everything is done now. I just have to post this, and also the Merc items that I want to give away. I have too many Merc items and I’m not even a fan.Oh, by the way, the GP weekend made me lose weight! How awful. My lowest weight is usually around 46.4 kg, and that’s early in the morning, when I’m the lightest. I just weighed myself just now - in the middle of the day - and I was 45.4 kg. It just shows you how starved I was this weekend to lose an entire kg! I’m always worried when I lose weight - I fear that I’ve lost muscle mass instead of fat, but it can’t be muscle mass because I didn’t stop exercising, I only skipped Saturday, but I will make up for it by doing a double workout day later this week.But anyway, it was a good weekend in that I got to meet Seb, give him the trophy (we all know how much he loves trophies, right?) and actually get kissed by him - which I was starting to wonder if I’d just imagined, since I didn’t see any photos of it until today. And I swear, he initiated the kisses, not me, okay? Though I look (unfortunately) extremely delighted to be reciprocating… I wish they had more shots of this because I would like to see the expression on my face when he first leaned in. This was the second kiss on the left cheek, so I already knew what to do by then. I must have looked a bit shocked during the first kiss on my right cheek! The worst part of it all is that I’ve just realised that I can literally count on one hand all the men who have ever kissed me. My father, an uncle by marriage, a friend of a friend from Europe, and Sebastian. That is literally it. Isn’t that just awful?But other than that, for Ferrari it was a meh weekend race-wise, and I certainly hope they’ll do a lot better at next year’s Malaysian GP! Forza Ferrari! -- source link
