Welcome to the World of racing

Are you awake? I bet you are… in case you've had a long heavy F1 winter sleep, I am sure you are now on it and you didn't even need a Red Bull or two (I mean the drink) to keep you up and focused in front of your TV screens at early morning times back in Europe. All I think after two races is, what a great start of season…

The paddock soup is already up and boiling after only two races and everybody is discussing about this team mate overtaking (or not) his team mate. Newspapers have a great stuff to write and spectators to speak about, while a driver with a winning instinct did what he had to do…

It's quite understandable Vettel's overtaking maneuver on his team mate Mark Webber brought up lots of different reactions, but what we saw was a pure presentation of an absolute racer instinct all of us actually want to see, or do we want to wake up in the middle of the night to watch nice guys behind the wheels, dressed in overalls and giving each other a way?

Formula One is a team sport…really?! This is not cricket, football, ice-hockey or any other classic team sport … this is a team sport just to a certain stage. You have a team around you sure, but once you sit in that bloody narrow cockpit, just about that hight to be able to see other cars in your mirrors driving down the finish straight in a thunderball speed and risking your life, you are on your own, there is nobody else you can pass the ball, it's just you…

What happened in Malaysia is simple. An early Birthday present has been delivered to Seb by his biggest rival Fernando and he (cause he truly is a polite guy), he took and unwrapped it. What he found inside was a Formula One Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia winning trophy. What a present…

But was his move and the fact he ignored a team order to not overtake a right thing? How can we know it wasn´t? Mark was told to go on a fuel saving mode, while in the lead. Obviously Seb didn't have worries like that, cause his driving skills or tyre usage maybe allowed him to safe more fuel than his team mate, so why shouldn't he be worth the win more, when he had the speed and the fuel for that. Only when you sit in the car and you feel the speed, the vibration in the steering wheel, the G-forces in your neck and the lightness of the car on every bumb, only than you know if you can do it or not and he knew...

Imagine other drivers in Seb's position: Fernando would have never been told by Domenicali not to overtake a slower Felipe, Kimi would just ask for to leave him alone as "he knows what he is doing", Lewis would be complaining so long over radio, that at the end they would let him pass Nico and there is one more I would like to imagine…Senna… well we all know what he would do…

Move on mentally ahead in time now with me and just imagine… You are in the Interlagos paddock, people run around, photographers, TV, fans, team members, what an absolute bump fight… at one point my wide lense gets a frontal shot of champagne, I try to cover and protect my equipment and than I see this moment… Christian Horner gives a hug to his four times consecutive youngest ever World Champion Sebastian Vettel, who just won the last 2013 season Grand Prix and claimed his title by only one point difference to his biggest rival Alonso. He's won four times the most prestigious motor racing trophy in the World and he only is 26 years old. They hug each other, Christian might be showing a bit of emotions holding him strong around his neck, Seb just enjoys the moment, he smiles, mechanics pour champagne over their heads, the whole world is now watching, flashes go mad, radio's and TV transmit everything life, hundreds of millions of people are watching…  Well that'd be a great fuck up… wouldn't it…

Drivers have changed over the years, we don't get so see anymore blokes like James Hunt, sweat and dirty sneaking out of his cockpit after the race with a cigarette in his mouth, realizing he survived once more. They do not party anymore on Saturday's before the race bearing in mind they might be dead the next day. To be cool in nowadays means to run through the paddock with lots of tattoos on your arms and to have your rapper cap on your head in the right angle. This is not a real racing is it...

Formula One needs these Hunt's, Senna's, Prost's, Lauda's, Fangio's… They are the soul of this sport, they were ready to risk everything for one win.

Once they asked former Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, what is missing to get his team back on a winning route, all he said was "We need balls".

Welcome to the World of racing. No mercy, no sorry, no fear...
