Lewis Goes to Mercedes

Hello All,
      As you must have already heard Lewis Hamilton has left McLaren and will be with Mercedes in 2013. I will always support no matter where he is but I'm not sure if hes made the right decision . And now with the whole new engine saga i don't know if Mercedes can really deliver. ( But I'm hoping against hell that they do !) I know the last couple of years have been frustrating for Lewis and I understand his need for a fresh start . Some times you need to just move on but being a Lewis fan since his first season I have also grown to love the McLaren team !!!! And it will feel odd to support Mercedes now but I always was and always will be a Lewis Hamilton fan first so I guess I go where Lewis goes . ;) McLaren can come in second each time and I will be very happy ! Now what am I suppose to do with my Lewis McLaren cap ????? I guess I have to wear it as much as I can in 2012 coz  next season I'm gonna need a new one !  Im sure Perez is super excited about his move to McLaren next year. He has driven well this season and it will be great to see him shine in 2013 with a great car under him. Sad about Schumi but to be honest its obvious the come back isn't working out and  hes had some great years in Formula 1 , so I think its better he exists with dignity now.

Lewis Hamilton I love you and I'm sending you loads of love and luck for 2013!!!! I hope you  win the 2012 title with McLaren -The last hurrah for Lewis n McLaren ...

Singapore 2012

The Singapore GP weekend started on a good note with  Lewis getting pole position . The Ferrari's were struggling but Assholonso still got lucky with a podium finish. The race was exciting with Lewis leading Vettle by just 2 seconds and then suddenly he was out of the race due to a gear box failure. :( But I'm glad Vettle won the race because he has shown good pace all weekend and he was close to Lewis so he was the next best option for sure. Maldonado started badly, managed his tyres  badly and was ultimately out of the race due to a hydraulic failure. I was hoping he would keep Assholonso off the podium but that dint happen.There were 2 long safety car periods  caused by Kartikeyan and Schumi .
All in all a disappointing weekend for Lewis fans. And the teams message to Lewis over the radio suggested that they knew that the car might have some trouble. This is going to strain the Lewis-McLaren relationship further and I think it might have a huge impact on Lewis's decision. This is not looking good for McLaren. I will always support Lewis no matter what team hes with but I will be disappointed if he leaves McLaren. And what about my Lewis McLaren cap ????? 3 grand down the toilet !!!!

A Day With Lewis In Mumbai!!!!

Yesterday was an absolutely amazing day!!!! I saw Lewis Hamilton at 3 different events !!! Thank you Vodafone , I promise to be nice to your customer service executives for a couple of months at least !
My day started at noon at the Indiblogger Vodafone Speedfest Meet. It was interesting and for the first time I met a lot of fellow bloggers. Obviously the highlight of the meet was seeing Lewis !!! He was running late and finally arrived after lunch but it was worth the wait. We had a lovely session with him , answering some absurd questions . I was disappointed to loose the Lap With Lewis contest but at least the winner was a serious F1 fan and a girl!!!

After our session with Lewis we all headed to BKC to witness the man in action and what a show he put up! We had to wait for a hell of along time before Lewis appeared coz they had a small parade and an army of sweepers who spent at least 30 minutes picking up trash from the road. It rained just before Lewis was about to start ! (Thank god Vodafone gave everyone lovely red raincoats) I have been for the Indian GP last year but this was something else. To be this close to an F1 car !!!!! Lewis was about 2 Meters away !!!!! What a feeling !!! I left after he finished his run in the Mc Laren and couldn't stay for the rest of the event coz I had to run and change for my last event with Lewis - An auction and dinner.

So I quickly changed into my formal clothes for the dinner and ran off to The Hayatt . It was a lovely evening with a charity auction of 6 items autographed by Lewis. I would have bought each one if I had the money !!! But it was great to see him on stage for over an hour! :) I took a friend along for the dinner who knows nothing about F1 or Lewis except my obsession with him. And by the end of the evening she feel in love with him too !!! That's Lewis for you - Charming, witty, handsome and super talented. Its hard not to like him! And hes generous too , he bid two and a half lakhs on a painting of himself that was part of the auction !

It was a crazy day and by the end of it I felt like a serious stalker! But it was all worth it !!! No picture and autograph this time but lots of Lewis !

Here are some pictures and videos for all you Lewis fans who missed it !!!

Why I Should Be the Lucky Indiblogger Who Gets To Go On A Lap with Lewis Hamilton

Dear Indiblogger,
        Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with Lewis Hamilton. Firstly I think I deserve to go for a drive with this legend because I think I am the biggest Lewis Hamilton fan in India and its absurd how I have even got access to the Indiblogger meet that's part of the Vodafone Speedfest. A few days ago a friend of mine sent me a tweet about the Indiblogger meet and I saw it and got super excited but then I realized I need to register my blog and it may take up to  a week to get approved and only then I can register for the meet. I registered my blog but had lost hope and was trying to think of other alternatives to get to the Speedfest. This morning I got an email saying my blog was approved and when I went to register, obviously there were no seats left!!! I called Vineet from Indibloggers and pleaded my case and i think the poor guy was both sorry and embarrassed for me! After that failed I posted a comment on the meet page and declared my undying love for Lewis and Voila !!! A very kind hearted Indiblogger commented and said hes unregistering  so i can register!!!! hahahah i couldn't believe it and I don't think I have ever typed that fast to register for anything! So i think this is reason enough for me to be in that car, Clearly its fate and God wants us to be together but if your still not convinced her are some more reasons :-

  • If you actually count the amount of times i have tweeted to him, I'm quite sure they are enough for Lewis to get a restraining order!
  • Coz I have noticed that he has the most amazing skin ! He's always glowing!!! have you seen the man after a grueling two hour race, he looks like hes stepped out of a spa!
  • Coz I have read his  autobiography twice already and a bunch of other books on him.
  • Coz I have watched every single F1 race that hes been a part of !
  • I had to wrestle with a body guard last year at an event at the Indian GP to get closer to the stage to see Lewis.
  • Coz I have participated in every dam contest on the internet that has the words 'MEET LEWIS HAMILTON' .
  • Right now my twitter followers think i have lost the plot coz I was tweeting for the Vodafone Twitter race contest and I got to the top 10 so you can imagine how many tweets there were about Lewis.
  • I think hes the best dam driver on the grid and no one comes close not even Assholonso !
  • I should be in that car coz I'm a model and I look great in a helmet!
  • Coz I cried when he lost the 2007 drivers championship and i cried again when he won it the following season!
  • Coz his birthday is on 7th of January.( I know most of you dint know that!)
  • I know he loves football and cricket and he also practiced karate. So did I!!!!
  • He wears a lovely bright helmet so I can spot him. Ok so his dad and me can spot him!
  • Coz i know he sings and plays the guitar and he loves to listen to Bob Marley when hes driving.
  • Hes a beach person and so am I !!!
  • Coz he makes me feel like a love stuck 16 year old!
  • Coz I have seen tons of celebrities but nobody has made my heart race and my hands shiver except Lewis .
  • Coz going for a drive with Lewis Hamilton is at the top of my bucket list!!!! And if you don't fulfill my wishes my soul will never rest in peace.Just saying!
  • FYI hes a huge Arsenal fan and said he'd probably be a footballer if he wasn't an F1 driver.
  • Coz its obvious that I am the biggest Lewis Hamilton fan at the Indiblogger meet and possibly in India and Im not just looking for a fun experience. I am an F1 junkie and I worship Lewis Hamilton !!!

Regards,
Scherezade Shroff
Lewis Hamilton's Biggest Fan (Unofficially)

Lewis Hamilton At The Vodafone Speedfest Indibloggers Meet !

Hello All ,
           I'm sorry I stopped posting for a while. This is one of the best Formula 1 seasons in the last few years. The mid season break was torture for F1 fans and then that disappointing race thanks to Romain Grosjean !!!! Monza was brilliant and Lewis was amazing after that bad accident in the previous race. And hes coming to Mumbai this Sunday !!!! And I am going to see him thanks to Indiblogger !!!!
        All my friends and twitter followers know I am crazy about Lewis and one of them was kind enough to tell me about the Indibloggers meet. So I finally registered my blog . It takes a while for the admins to approve your blog so mine just got approved this morning. And then all the seats were full :( But when I commented on the event one of the bloggers was kind enough to unregister and let me register !!!! Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i am going to see Lewis again this Sunday!!!!!! Wooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo. Will post after the event and take lots of pictures for all you F1 fans and Lewis supporters.
