Valencia MotoGP Review, a great win and a great race for Dani Pedrosa
A Quick review on the race from last Sundays race (11/11/12) at the Valencia Motorcycle Grand Prix in the Circuit Ricardo Tormo outside of Valencia for the last round of this years MotoGP season.
A great win and a great race for Dani Pedrosa on his Repsol Honda, despite staring from the pit lane for changing his bike for dry tyres on a drying track. Pedrosa passed everyone on the grid until the front battling Jorge Lorenzo on his works Yamaha for the lead, until mid-way through the race, when Lorenzo tried to lapped James Ellison, then the 2012 MotoGP champion crashed out in style, giving him his retirement of the season. Which gives Dani Pedrosa his seven race win of the season.
Meanwhile, Katsuyuki Nakasuga who is subtitling for an injured Ben Spies for the last round of the season finished second with 37 seconds behind race winner Pedrosa. While, 2007 and 2011 MotoGP champion Casey Stoner on his Repsol Honda finished third on his last MotoGP race as his now retired from motorcycling. Meanwhile his replacement for 2013, current Moto2 champion Marc Márquez started last in his final Moto2 race to finish with a win. So watch him 2013 in MotoGP.
Last to win the race easy eh.

The Filth and the Fury, The Sex Pistols. No wait, Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel four letter rants on the podium
Formula 1 drivers have been told not to swear during media interviews from now on. Governing body the FIA have issued the demand after both Kimi "Johnny Rotten" Räikkönen and Sebastian "Steve Jones" Vettel swore, live on air, while on the podium after last Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. As this video below shows.
I did miss this due to I just left to gone out with my friends to the pub.
But, Kimi Räikkönen does have some previous experience with rude four letter words, during on Martin Brundle's grid walk at Brazil 2006, asking why he missed Michael Schumacher/Pele presentation? he should have said "Yeah, I gone to the toilet." but instead he said "Yeah, I was having a shit.".
But, some of his radio messages during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last weekend were just so genius to listen.
Classic Kimi

Ciao Max Biaggi, retiring from racing
Four times 250cc world champion and two times WSB champion Max Biaggi has announced that he will retire from racing. The 41 year old Italian addressed a packed press conference in Vallelunga in his native city of Rome this week (7/11/12) where he revealed his decision to stop racing.
Biaggi has enjoyed a great career that spanned over 20 years competing in 250cc, 500cc, MotoGP and WSB championships. His first world title came way back in 1994 with his most recent success coming this year when he won the WSB title for the second time for Aprilia. But, his most rememberable moment in his career came in 2001 and 2002 with his rivalry with Valentino Rossi for the 500cc and MotoGP championships.
So ciao Max Biaggi you had a great motor-racing career.

Testing times for Nissan (in V8 Supercars of course)
The brand new Nissan Altima V8 Supercar has taken to the track for the first time, just days after it was first revealed with its new livery in Melbourne.
The Altima did its first laps at Calder Park Raceway, a race track on the outside of Melbourne and with most of the Kelly Racing team (which will be renamed Nissan Motorsport next season) are in Abu Dhabi for last weekend’s V8 Supercar round. The driving duties were left to team co-owner and driver Todd Kelly.
But come the Clipsal 500 season opening race in Adelaide in February 2013, the return of Nissan in V8 Supercars will really start.

2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Review, Kimi back winning
2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix review of round eighteen of the F1 season at Yas Marina Circuit outside of Abu Dhabi, and thoughts on the race as well. And the return of winning ways from Kimi Räikkonen and Lotus (well sort of for Lotus).
Good points
Bad points
Possibly the same as the Singapore Grand Prix early on the season this was a race of two parts, the first part was a dominating race from Lewis Hamilton from starting in pole position to leading the race, until the start of lap 19 when his fuel pressure in his McLaren give him another DNF this season and possibly any change of a final win at McLaren. The second part after Hamilton DNF was Kimi Räikkonen took the lead to conclude with a race win on Sunday to give Räikkonen his first win of the season and his first since Spa 2009 in his Ferrari days.
A great win from Räikkonen, done a soild drive to win in my opinion, when there was chaos behind him he kept his head down and win. Also, a Lotus F1 win in name for the first time (if you want to classify this as a Lotus win, last time this team won a F1 race was with Fernando Alonso at Fuji 2008 as Renault) since Ayrton Senna at Detroit in 1987.
Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso finished in second place in his Ferrari, while championship leader Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull finished third at the end of the race, despite stating from the pit lane from having no fuel left at the end of qualifying, he would have started from third place on the grid and would have won the race again if that didn't happen. Which, only gives Vettel a slim lead of the F1 driver championship from 13 points to 10 points ahead of Fernando Alonso with only two races to go.
While in the constructor's championship, Red Bull are still leading the standings from 91 points to 82 points ahead of Ferrari, who are still second in the constructors standings. Which means, Red Bull can win the F1 constructor's championship at Circuit of the Americas at the new place for the United States Grand Prix in two weeks time if Red Bull are 43 points ahead of second place in the standings with only two races to go.

Good points
- Kimi Räikkonen (won the race, first race win for Räikkonen since Spa 2009)
- Fernando Alonso (finished 2nd)

- Williams (Pastor Maldonado finished 5th; Bruno Senna finished 8th)
- Kamui Kobayashi (finished 6th)
- Paul Di Resta (finished 9th)
- Daniel Ricciardo (finished 10th)
- Heikki Kovalainen (finished 13th, 48 seconds behind the leaders at the end)
- Timo Glock (finished 14th, under a minute behind the leaders at the end)
Bad points
- Mercedes AMG (Nico Rosberg DNF, collision with Narian Karthikeyan on the lap 8; Michael Schumacher finished 11th, puncture late in the race that cost him points)
- Narian Karthikeyan (DNF, collision with Nico Rosberg on the lap 8)
- Lewis Hamilton (DNF, fuel pressure)
- Nico Hülkenberg (DNF, collision with Bruno Senna at the start of the race)
- Sergio Perez (finished 15th, collision with Mark Webber and Romain Grosjean on lap 38)
- Mark Webber (DNF, collision with Sergio Perez and Romain Grosjean on lap 38)
- Romain Grosjean (DNF, collision with Mark Webber and Sergio Perez on lap 38)
- Charles Pic (DNF, Engine)
