As I woke up today, wondering how I lost an hour, I purposely avoided finding out who won the Bahrain GP. I didn't check my email. I didn't listen to the radio or watch TV. I didn't check Google Reader. I read the local news instead on the net.
I planned to sit down with my breakfast and watch the race on my Tivo.
But then, this happens. I click on the Top Sites feature on my Safari browser, a sort of reflex of mine. On the home pages of the New York Times, Le Blog Auto, and the Hungarian site Stipistop, they all show Felipe Massa's mug. Oy, I wonder who won.
I just watch every race live, no matter what time it airs. When I can't for reasons beyond my control, such as the tape-delay fox broadcasts, I just avoid any type of media altogether. Not that I haven't been burned before.
ReplyDeleteThe Massa pics were obviously about how he made a comeback from injury, not about him winning.
ReplyDeleteBut that made watching the race even more awful. All the way until the last corner, I wondered how Alonso was going to lose the race and allow Massa to catch up.
