This postcard is a tribute to my old passion for The Formula 1. I'm not a Formula 1 fan anymore. I was watching it and was really interested in the racing between 2003 and 2006 when Michael Schumacher was driving for Ferrari which seemed invincible, and young ambitious to win Fernando Alonso for Renault. There were a lot of great tense battles between them. And between Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, The ICEMAN. as well. And Alonso did it. He won The Formula 1 World Championship in 2005 & 2006. Ohhhh, I was so glad. I always liked Michael Schumacher, he's one of the best...but back then i was tired of watching Ferrari win all the time and I wanted a new face, a new hero that would come and overthrow the titans. Fernando Alonso+ Flavio Briatore+Renault made a perfect team. My heart belonged to them entirely.
In 2007 Schumacher left The Formula 1, after that Alonso left Renault, the thrill was gone. Little by little I began feeling bored with The Formula 1. Now I'm not interested.
