Since my last post we have had 5 race, Great Britain - Alonso, Germany - Hamilton, Hungary - Button, Belgium - Vettel, and Italy - Vettel again. The last two continue a some what of a reoccurring theme with this race season as Vettel has now taken First place in now eight of the thirteen races to date. Still getting podium places in the few he did not quite get. Only a handful of people even have a chance at beating Vettel and it is unlikely that will happen as he needs to almost knocked out of every race left in this season.
We have Singapore coming up and I love a good night race and one on a tight track should be a fun morning where I live.

Austin 5-2!
Austin city council has voted 5-2 in favor of agreeing to spend money that was already promised on the Formula 1 racetrack. 25 million annually for 4 years, personally I'm glad this is the decision they came to, to have this worldwide sport back in the U.S. is fantastic. I already cannot wait to see this track finished and in such a large and bustling state as Texas.
I know typical race fans in the U.S. are not as big a fans as they used to be but this I the first big step in bringing it back over here again I cannot suggest it enough but to have home team as well would be another big boost to the sport.

F1 and Texassss
I only thought it be proper that the first post I do on this blog be one about my home country and a sport I have most recently fallen in love with. The city of Austin Texas is set to hold it's F1 race in June of 2012 and it's funding or part of it is already under fire. 25 million dollars over the next few years is in danger of being cut and ruining a project that is currently under way.
I cannot possibly understand how something of this size and scope being an issue to taxpayers who are ultimately funding this 25 million, for something that will bring in huge amounts of foreign investment and people who genuinely love the sport.
I agree that Formula has lost some of it's appeal here in the U.S. but without a team who can blame most Americans. I for won have picked a team I truly enjoy watching, and let be said if there were an American team I would get behind them with everything I had.
Back to the topic at hand, for the moment the vote for the funding has been delayed until the end of week. I would like to see the council move forward on this issue and agree to let this purpose built track continue.
