Cerita Jadul : F1 Gp Brasil 2008

Ini balapan F1 yg paling berkesan dalam hidup gua...setuju ga baiklah silaken aja tapi ini gila berkesan banget jadi pengen cerita...

Waktu itu balapan terakhir F1 trend 2008 di Brazil di sirkuit Interlagos. Yang paling dinantikan ya juara dunianya soalnya waktu itu calon juara dunianya ada dua: Lewis Hamilton ama Felipe Massa. Hamilton mimpin klasenen, poinnya 94, kedua Massa yg punya 87 poin. Massa mau ga mau harus menang kalo pengen jadi juara dunia, tapi Hamilton finisnya diluar 6 besar (ke enam ataw lebih belakangnya lagi). Wahh seru nih kayaknya soalnya Massa bakalan balap di negaranya sendiri. Para pendukungnya banyak banget ngedukung Massa semoga juara dunia.

Pas balapan mulai, gres aja ditikungan pertama pembalap senior yg mau pensiun David Coulthard goresan ama Nelson Piquet Jr. Sial bgt buat DC karirnya yg udah bertaun-taun dari jaman Ayrton Senna ampe jaman Hamilton berakhir tragis ditutup di tikungan pertama. DC trus jalan keluar dari mobilnya sambil ngelambaiin tangan ke para penonton yaa semacem perpisahan yg murung gitu lah hiks hiks...

Kurang inget gimana balapannya tapi seinget gua pas balapannya hujan tidak mengecewakan lama. Massa terus mimpin usang banget. Yaah maaf rada lupa sih...

Langsung aja ke bab yg serunya. Lap 63 hujan turun tapi gak begitu gede. Banyak pembalap masuk pit, ada juga yg ganti ban pake yg intermediate. Lap 66 Hamilton & Sebastian Vettel yg waktu itu masih di tim Toro Rosso juga pake ban intermediate Hamilton ke 5 trus Vettel ke 6. Pembalap Toyota (waktu itu) Timo Glock tetep pake ban slick dgn keinginan semoga ga usah masuk pit lagi dan naek posisinya. Pas lap 69 (dua lap lagi) hujan gede di sirkuit bikin Hamilton melebar trus disusul Vettel. Seingetnya waktu itu James Allen, komentator F1 bilang kalo Hamilton dapat aja kehilangan gelar juara dunia. Vettel posisinya naik jadi ke 5 dan Glock yg pake ban slick ke 4 tapi ngelambat karna treknya udah berair jadi kekurangan grip. Didepan Massa udah tinggal nunggu waktu buat menang. Dibelakangya ada Fernando Alonso & Kimi Raikkonen.

LAP TERAKHIR...di pit Mclaren & Ferrari semua yg ada disana tegang ingin tau pengen tau siapa yg juara dunia. Massa sendirian jauh didepan, Hamilton ke 6. Kalo gini ceritanya Massa yg juara dunia. Glock masih ke 4, tapi Vettel & Hamilton dibelakangnya ngejar dgn cepet. Massa udah finis pas Hamilton masih setengah jalan lagi ke finis. Penonton bersorak sorai pas Massa finis kesatu, keduanya Alonso. Sekitar 21 detik kemudian... Glock yg udah kepayahan berhasil disusul Hamilton. Yang paling gua inget pas komentatornya ngomong:

"Is that Glock, is that Glock going slowly?"
"Yes it is. Oh my goodness me, Hamilton's back in position again!"

Di pit Ferrari, tim ama bapaknya Massa, Luis Massa ngerayain juaranya Massa. Di trek, Hamilton pribadi tancap gas sampe finis. Dia finis ke lima. Komentator bilang Hamilton juara dunia trend 2008. Hamilton kegirangan pas udah finis. Di pit Ferrari, orang-orang yg lagi ngerayain, teriak-teriak nyambut keberhasilan Massa termasuk sang bapak pribadi diem semua pas liat Hamilton finis ke lima dari layar monitor di pit. Perayaan yg menyedihkan pas "titel" juara dunia Massa direbut didepan pendukungya sendiri. Sakit banget kayaknya. Mclaren & Ferrari ngga menduga hasilnya bakal begini. Pas Massa masuk parc ferme buat parkirin mobilnya ia nangis murung sambil ngehapus air mata. Kayaknya sakit rasanya kalah didepan pendukung sendiri apalagi disaat-saat tamat kalahnya. Di daerah lain kendaraan beroda empat Honda-nya Jenson Button kebakaran. Balapan ini yg terakhir buat Honda karna ngundurin diri dari ajang balap jet darat ini.

Massa yg murung pas berhenti di parc ferme. Tetep semangat Felipe !

Di podium Massa coba tetep tegar nerima kekalahannya. Para pendukungnya tetep ngasih semangat pembalapnya biarpun ga jadi juara dunia juga akhirnya. Di podium ke 2 ada Alonso, ketiga diisi Kimi Raikkonen. Sang juara dunia Hamilton malah ga ada di podium. Tim Mclaren ngerayain keberhasilan pembalapnya jadi juara dunia. Gak lupa ada juga pacarnya Hamilton yg juga vokalis Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger yg ikut ngerayain kesuksesan yayangnya juara dunia.

Beres balapan itu Tim Honda ngundurin diri dari F1 karna krisis. Juara dunia konstruktornya Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton jadi juara dunia termuda sepanjang sejarah sebelum rekornya ini dipecahin Sebastian Vettel di taun 2011 yg nantinya masuk tim Red Bull ngegantiin David Coulthard.Glock sempet dicurigain "ngebantu"tapi ia ngebantahnya.

Ya segitu yang dapat gua ceritain. Ada orang yg seneng nginget-ngingetnya tapi ya ada yg kesel juga. Ini balapan yg terbaik yg pernah gua tonton (di TV soalnya blum ada rejeki nonton pribadi hhmm...). Yang niscaya keajaiban dapat bencana di mana aja ngga terkecuali di balapan F1, dimana Massa yg diunggulin banget hasilnya kalah disaat-saat akhir. Kayaknya bakal gua ceritain ke belum dewasa gua nanti hahaha!!

Oldskool Story: 2008 F1 Brazilian Gp

This is the most memorable F1 race I've ever watched. Agree or not it's your choice but this is truly memorable and I wanna tell you about the race...

It was the last race of the 2008 season. It was held in Brazil, at Interlagos. The result of the race will decide the world champion. There were two strong contenders: Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa. Hamilton lead the classement with 94 points, second was Massa with 87 points. Massa had nothing left to do but to win the race for the title, but Hamilton must finish 6th or less better. A'ight the race 's gonna be thrilling as Massa will race in his country and in the front of his local supporters. His supporters redden the Interlagos' tribunes. They come to support their jagoan to become the world champion.

And the race begins! As the drivers coming toward the first turn, David Coulthard, the senior driver who is retiring at the season has a crash with Nelson Piquet Jr. It is a bad end for DC, who has raced for years from The Age of Ayrton Senna till The Hamilton's Era ends his career in some tragic end at the first turn. DC walks away from his car, waving his hands to the crowd. It's like a sad goodbye, but he was a great man in F1.

Don't really remember the whole race, but I do remember the rain falls down for a while. Massa leads the race for many laps. Sorry, some the memories are still missing anyway...

So, let's move to the astonishing part. Lap 63, the rain falls down, but not heavily. Many drivers make stop to change tyres. Some change their tyres into intermediate tyres. Lap 66 and Hamilton & Sebastian Vettel, who still races for Toro Rosso at that time use intermediate ones. Hamilton is 5th and Vettel is right behind him. Toyota's Timo Glock tries to stay at the track with slick tyres. He hopes that he won't need to pit again so he will gain better position. On lap 69, the penultimate lap, rain falls down all of a sudden. Hamilton goes wide and Vettel takes over his position from the apex. I remember when James Allen, the TV commentator says that Hamilton could lose his chance to win the World Title. Vettel goes up into 5th and Glock, who is in 4th with slick tyres is being chased by Vettel and going slowly as the track is getting wet, so he's losing so much grip. At the front, It's only matter of time for Massa to win his home GP. Behind him, there are Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.

THE LAST LAP. The tension is getting higher at Ferrari & Mclaren box. They are all curious. Curious of who's gonna go home with the World Title. Massa is all alone at the front, Hamilton is in 6th. If it stays like this Massa's the world champion. Glock is still in 4th, but Hamilton & Vettel are flying to pass him. Massa has finished the race when Hamilton was still on his way to the finish line. The crowd cheer as Massa crossed the finish line first. Alonso comes second. About 21 seconds later...Glock who makes a bad choice by not changing his tyres finally gets passed by Hamilton. This is what I remember most when the commentators say :
"Is that Glock, is that Glock going slowly?"
"Yes it is. Oh my goodness me, Hamilton's back in position again!"

photo when Hamilton passes Glock on the last lap

At the Ferrari box, the team with Massa's father, Luis, celebrates Felipe's victory. At the track, Hamilton steps on the gas to the finish line. He finishes fifth. Commentators say that Hamilton is the 2008 F1 World Champion. Hamilton is delighted after he crossed the finish line. At the Ferrari box, people who are screaming and celebrating Massa's victory including Massa's father are silenced when they watch on the TV screen hamilton finishes 5th. The celebration comes to early as Massa's "world title" was taken over in the front of his tifosis. That someway hurts inside very deep. The race result may not be predicted by both Ferrari & Mclaren before. At the other place of circuit Jenson Button's Honda RA107 is caught on fire. This is the last race for Honda, because they decide to withdraw from the "land jet competition".

Massa wipes his tears inside his car at the parc ferme. Keep spirit, Felipe!

At the top of the podium Massa tries hard to be strong after his "defeat". His supporters keep giving him spirit although Massa eventually fails to take the crown. At 2nd, there is Alonso, and Kimi Raikkonen fills the 3rd spot. The world champion Hamilton is not on the podium. The team Mclaren celebrate their driver's success. Oh, almost forget, there is also Hamilton's girlfriend who is also the vocalist of Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger at the party. She also celebrates her boyfriend's success.

Honda Racing decide to call it a day because of crisis. Ferrari are crowned The Constructors' Champion. Lewis Hamilton becomes the youngest world champion ever in age of 23 before Sebastian Vettel breaks the record in 2010. He will join Red Bull Racing, as David Coulthard's successor. Glock is accused of "helping" Hamilton to win the title but he refuses that accusation.

Maybe that's all I can tell you all about the race. Some people may be glad to remember it, but on the other hand some may find it a bad memory. This is the best F1 race I've ever seen (on the TV because I haven't got the chance to see a race live, hhmm...). So, it's certain that sometimes miracle happens in F1. Massa who is predicted as the world champion finally defeated in the end of the race. I think I'll tell this to my kids someday...

Para Pebalap Muda Berbakat Calon Juara

Peran para pebalap muda udah cukup besar belakangan ini. Di banyak ajang, kayak F1, motoGP dan lainnya udah banyak pebalap muda yang pribadi dikasih kepercayaan masuk ajang balap tertinggi agar umurnya emang masih muda



Daniil Kyvat

Daniil Kvyat

balap bersama Toro Rosso

Pebalap Rusia yang gres berusia 19 taun pas pertama kali nyemplung di ajang Formula 1 animo ini, 2014. Daniil yang lahir di kota Ufa juga masuk jadwal pengembangan pebalap muda Red Bull semenjak masih ABG. Doi dididik tim balap asal Austria itu semenjak masih ikut Formula 3. Di taun 2013 Daniil jadi juara seri GP3 dan pribadi diambil Red Bull untuk ditempatin di tim Toro Rosso F1.  Di tim ‘adik’nya Red Bull Renault (yang ada Vettel & Ricciardo) Daniil jadi pebalap termuda ke-2 sepanjang sejarah F1 sehabis Jaime Alguersuari di GP Hungaria 2009 (19 th) yang kebetulan dari tim yang sama, Scuderia Toro Rosso. Prestasinya cukup anggun di animo pertamanya, ya ada di jajaran papan tengah lah. Mulai animo 2015 Daniil promosi ke tim Red Bull ngegantiin Sebastian Vettel yang diambil Ferrari.

Max Verstappen

Ini yang bikin heboh! Seorang anak dewasa yang masih 17 taun ngendarain F1 dan bahkan ikut latihan resminya! Kejadian ini terjadi di GP Jepang 2014, dimana Max yang bapaknya pilot F1 asal Belanda, Johanes ‘Jos’ Verstappen jadi orang termuda yang jajal kendaraan beroda empat F1 di umur yang masih ABG, 17th pake kendaraan beroda empat Scuderia Toro Rosso. Hebat, kan????

Kalo diceritain dari awal, Max yang bahkan masih sekolah ini ngewarisin talenta sembalap dari bapaknya yang pernah balap di F1 masa ‘90an ampe 2005. Dari kecil ditempa Red Bull berserta sang bapak Max tumbuh jadi pebalap yang berbakat. Gabung Red Bull Team Junior, Max ikut seri F3 Eropa di animo 2014 dan jadi penantang gelar juara. Max yang juga satu kompetisi ama pebalap Indonesia Sean Gelael menang balapan beberapa kali dan mimpin klasemen, dan calon juara pula.

Max dipastiin bakal turun di ajang F1 bersama Scuderia Toro Rosso di 2015. Kalo begitu beliau bakal mecahin rekor pendahulunya, Jaime Alguersuari yang tadi disebut. Banyak orang gak sabar nunggu agresi si ABG ini yang perekrutannya jadi sensasi dunia F1

Maverick Vinales

Nah kalo yang ini dari alam dua roda, alias balap motor. Tiga taun kemudian beliau gres pertama kali terjun di kelas moto3 dan kini udah di moto2 dan taun depan naek lagi ke motoGP yang notabene kelas balap motor teratas sedunia. Maverick pertama kali terjun ke moto3 di taun 2011 pas umurnya masih 16 taun dan penampilannya bagus. Taun selanjutnya beliau dapat masuk 10 besar dan di taun 2013 beliau berhasil jadi Juara Dunia dengan beda poin tipis dari peringkat 2 ama 3. 

No. 40 warisan Hector Barbera & Pol Espargaro

Taun 2014 Maverick jajal moto2 di tim Tuenti HP40 Pons Kalex dan berhasil menang di Argentina, Jerman dan Australia. Sampe seri Australia beliau mejeng di urutan 3 klasemen moto2.

Maverick juara moto3 2013, foto oleh David Clares Pozo

Maverick yang sepupunya juga balap tp di kelas moto3, Isaac, bakatnya tercium Suzuki dan direkrut pabrikan Jepang itu buat animo 2015. Hmmm gimana ya nanti agresi doi di kelas motoGP???



Jack Miller

Tim LCR Honda bikin keputusan yang cukup waw! Tim punyanya Lucio Cecchinello ini bakal ngerekrut satu pembalap muda berbakat dari Australia....siapa ya? Ya, itu Jack Miller.

ngegaya dulu hehehehe

Buat yang belum tau siapa jack Miller nih gua kasih tau. Jack lahir di Australia 19 taun yang kemudian dan dikala ini balap di moto3 bareng Red Bull KTM Ajo. Dia pertama kali balap di Qatar 2012 di tim RTG Honda dan bertahan ampe 2 musim. Baru di taun 2014 beliau pindah ke pabrikan Austria KTM. Jack digadang-gadang sebagai penerus Casey Stoner, keliatan dari gaya balapnya yang katanya seakan-akan dan prestasi menterengnya.

di GP Indianapolis 2014

Bakatnya yang luar biasa pribadi menari banyak tim buat dapetin beliau tapi satu penawaran yang mengejutkan tiba dari tim motoGP, LCR. Tim dari Monako itu pribadi gebet pebalap Ostrali ini dari moto3 ke motoGP, yang prosesnya agak nggak lazim. Biasanya, beres moto3 ke moto2 dulu, jadi Jack lompatin kelas itu. Banyak yang ngeraguin beliau tapi ada juga yang yakin kalo Jack dapat cpet pembiasaan dengan kelas baru.

Sebagai catatan, lompatan kelas ini juga pernah insiden di taun 2009. Gabor Talmacsi yang Juara Dunia 125cc pribadi gabung tim JiR Honda yang ada motoGP. Dia gantiin Yuki Takahashi yang kurang derma sponsor.

Marc Marquez

Boong banget kalo nggak tau. Di bab ini ada pengecualian alasannya yakni yang disampein di sini pembalap yang udah jadi juara, gak kayak judul blog ini yg katanya calon juara. Tapi yang ini, cuma ngenang kejayaannya pas awal-awal karirnya.

pas juara 125cc taun 2010

Banyak orang nggak tau beliau pas awal karirnya di 125cc pas taun 2008. Marc Marquez harus berjuang dulu ampe taun 2010 pas beliau jadi juara kelas itu. Naik ke moto2, Marc yang masih debutan pribadi jadi penantang gelar juara ama Stefan Bradl di animo 2011. Sayang banget, cedera ngeganggu ambisi Marc jadi juara waktu itu, Bradl yang menang. 

nah ini di Philip Island 2012

Taun 2012, Bradl naek ke motoGP dan Marc berhasil nebus kegagalannya jadi yang terbaik di moto2. Umurnya masih 19 taun pas ngarak-ngarak piala juara moto2.

juara dunia di GP Motegi 2014

Taun 2013 Marc naik ke motoGP dan main di tim Repsol Honda. Hasil latihan pra-musim yang anggun nular ke hasil balapan orisinil dan beliau jadi Juara Dunia motoGP di taun pertamanya. Marc mecahin buaaanyakkk bgt rekor, dari pemenang balapan termuda, polesitter termuda, pemimpin klasemen termuda, sampe juara motoGP 2 taun berurutan termuda. Itu masih ada lagi dan banyak lah pokoknya. Semua pencapaian itu diraih pebalap bernomor start 93 itu di umur 21! Itu udah termasuk Juara 125cc 2010 pas masih 17th, Juara moto2 2012 (19), Juara MotoGP 2013 (20) ama 2014 (21). Gilaaaaaa!!!!

At the front, It's only matter of time for Massa to win his home GP. Behind him, there are Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.

THE LAST LAP. The tension is getting higher at Ferrari & Mclaren box. They are all curious. Curious of who's gonna go home with the World Title. Massa is all alone at the front, Hamilton is in 6th. If it stays like this Massa's the world champion. Glock is still in 4th, but Hamilton & Vettel are flying to pass him. Massa has finished the race when Hamilton was still on his way to the finish line. The crowd cheer as Massa crossed the finish line first. Alonso comes second. About 21 seconds later...Glock who makes a bad choice by not changing his tyres finally gets passed by Hamilton. This is what I remember most when the commentators say :
"Is that Glock, is that Glock going slowly?"
"Yes it is. Oh my goodness me, Hamilton's back in position again!"

At the Ferrari box, the team with Massa's father, Luis, celebrates Felipe's victory. At the track, Hamilton steps on the gas to the finish line. He finishes fifth. Commentators say that Hamilton is the 2008 F1 World Champion. Hamilton is delighted after he crossed the finish line. At the Ferrari box, people who are screaming and celebrating Massa's victory including Massa's father are silenced when they watch on the TV screen hamilton finishes 5th. The celebration comes to early as Massa's "world title" was taken over in the front of his tifosis. That someway hurts inside very deep. The race result may not be predicted by both Ferrari & Mclaren before. At the other place of circuit Jenson Button's Honda RA107 is caught on fire. This is the last race for Honda, because they decide to withdraw from the "land jet competition".

Massa wipes his tears inside his car at the parc ferme. Keep spirit, Felipe!

At the top of the podium Massa tries hard to be strong after his "defeat". His supporters keep giving him spirit although Massa eventually fails to take the crown. At 2nd, there is Alonso, and Kimi Raikkonen fills the 3rd spot. The world champion Hamilton is not on the podium. The team Mclaren celebrate their driver's success. Oh, almost forget, there is also Hamilton's girlfriend who is also the vocalist of Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger at the party. She also celebrates her boyfriend's success.

Honda Racing decide to call it a day because of crisis. Ferrari are crowned The Constructors' Champion. Lewis Hamilton becomes the youngest world champion ever in age of 23 before Sebastian Vettel breaks the record in 2010. He will join Red Bull Racing, as David Coulthard's successor. Glock is accused of "helping" Hamilton to win the title but he refuses that accusation.

Maybe that's all I can tell you all about the race. Some people may be glad to remember it, but on the other hand some may find it a bad memory. This is the best F1 race I've ever seen (on the TV because I haven't got the chance to see a race live, hhmm...). So, it's certain that sometimes miracle happens in F1. Massa who is predicted as the world champion finally defeated in the end of the race. I think I'll tell this to my kids someday...
