Going to Ski

Eliedh — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 07:00:04 +0000

I am going to go skiing today, I am waiting for my friends to come pick me up but 2 of them didn’t wake up on time so we are still waiting for them to be ready. I already went skiing the first day the slopes opened (last Thursday) and the snow wasn’t in a very good condition. On the end of the slopes it was a mix of snow and mud, at the middle it was frozen and at the top it was normal but not great. I just checked the webcam on Skileb and apparently the condition of the slopes didn’t improve a lot but I hope we will have fun.

All Possible F1 Scenarios

Eurosport has a nice list of possible scenarios for the Formula one final race this season in Brazil:

Lewis Hamilton will be champion if:

He finishes first or second
He finishes third with Alonso 2nd or lower
He finishes fourth with Alonso 2nd or lower
He finishes fifth with Alonso 2nd or lower (they would be tied on points, but Hamilton would win tie-break based on second places)
He finishes sixth with Alonso 3rd or lower and Raikkonen 2nd or lower
He finishes seventh with Alonso 3rd or lower and Raikkonen 2nd or lower (Alonso and Hamilton would be tied on points, but Hamilton would win tie-break based on second places)
He finishes eighth with Alonso 4th or lower and Raikkonen 3rd or lower (Alonso and Hamilton would be tied on points, but Hamilton would win tie-break based on second places)

Fernando Alonso will be champion if:

He wins and Hamilton finishes 3rd or lower (Alonso would win tie break 5-4 on wins)
He finishes second with Hamilton 6th or lower
He finishes third with Hamilton 8th or lower and Raikkonen 2nd or lower
He finishes fourth with Hamilton not-scoring and Raikkonen 3rd or lower
Anything lower than fourth means Hamilton currently has more points

Kimi Raikkonen will be champion if:

He wins with Hamilton 6th or lower and Alonso 3rd or lower (if Hamilton 6th, Kimi wins 6-4 on wins tie-break)
He finishes second with Hamilton 8th and Alonso 4th or lower (both would result in tie that Kimi wins 5-4 on victories tie-break)
Anything lower than third means Hamilton currently has more points

Personally I hope Hamilton gets the title! He is a great driver and deserves it after the great season he did!

What Materazzi said to Zidane

We all remember the headbutt Zidane did to Materazzi in last year’s world cup final, back then we didn’t know why he did it, but now we do! Materazzi revealed what happened to an Italian Magazine and here’s the story:

During the game Materazzi gripped Zidane’s T-shirt for a moment, so Zidane told him that if he wanted it that much he would give it to him after the Match so Materazzi replied: “I prefer the whore that is your sister,” and you know the rest!
