The Unbeatable, The Beatable & The Downpour

Asafa Powell had to recover from another poor 100 metres start to extend his winning run at the World Athletics Final. Powell had to work harder than expected to clinch victory in a championship record 9.89 seconds, ahead of the Americans Leonard Scott and Tyson Gay. It was a 12th legal sub-10 seconds 100 metres of the season for the Jamaican & he still unbeaten in 2006.

The F1 Italian GP at Monza Circuit saw Raikkonen took pole by beating Michael by just 0.002s!! Kimi beat him but Michael will still smiling since Alonso has dropped from 5th to 10th on the provisional grid for today's race after Monza stewards penalized him for impeding Massa during qualifying. It also a great qualifying for BMW Sauber as Heidfeld took 3rd spot, ahead of Massa who will start in 4th. Ahaha BMW beat Ferrari!!!! Great!!!!

Back in Malaysia, the qualifying sessions for the MotoGP Malaysian GP at the Sepang F1 Circuit yesterday turned out to be a complete washout after a heavy afternoon shower. As a result, the qualifying sessions had to be scrap for the 1st time in the history of the Malaysian GP. The riders also made a collective decision that the MotoGP starting grid be based on the combined free practice times. So, Rossi will start in pole, Hayden in 2nd while Capirossi in 3rd.

p/s: Maria win!!! :P
