Page 12 Friday December 10 2010 Sport Here are who I think have been the impressive drivers for 2010. Good 6) Adrian Sutil - Didn’t get good equipment from the team. I guess they should not have focused on a big upgrade like the blown diffuser which hurt their car; and they were obsessed with straight line speed. Nevertheless Sutil performed well, getting the majority of the team’s points and outperforming teammate Liuzzi. Fifth places in Malaysia and Belgium were his highlights. He should get a move to a bigger team for next year. 5) Nico Rosberg - For the preponderance of the year he has been powering over teammate Michael Schumacher. The car sometimes hasn’t complimented him enough. But it all matters on if he beats his sister car which he did brilliantly. Only being out qualified by his teammate four The Good Drivers from F1 2010 Rahul Malkani 3S Citizen Sports Correspondent times in nineteen races and he managed three podiums in the process. 4) Lewis Hamilton - Could have been in more contention for a second title if he had been more responsible. Australia a team decision cost him badly. Italy breaking the front right suspension when it was his fault; Singapore he was unlucky as he had the racing line into the corner but again smashing the car’s rear tyre linkages. And then in Korea and Brazil he let Alonso through with slip ups in corners. But he has been very good with his aggressive overtakes and lightning quick speed. 3) Fernando Alonso – Now I know most of us hate him like me but in all honesty I think we can’t deny that he has turned his season very well with the help of magic eight balls. Alonso was out qualified on the first race at Bahrain by Massa, but overtook him in the first corner, which set the tone for the season, as he was too much for Felipe. He was trailing by many points after British GP. But when he was aided with a good car he managed to string up good results finally racking up five wins and just running short. 2) Sebastian Vettel - Ten pole positions speak for themselves, he is naturally quick. But his conversion rate hasn’t been very good from pole. Reliability issues didn’t help. And then maybe he was irresponsible with him being a “Crashkid”. However, with the best equipment on the grid he was able to deliver and beat the best Mark Webber struggled to keep up and eventually he got crowned. 1) Robert Kubica - Three podiums through out the year may not be the best. But he scored 109 points more than Petrov. He has improved year in year out. His second place in Australia told us something was changing about him. And then at Monaco his precision paid off. At Belgium and Suzuka the other two drivers’ circuit he qualified in the top three. He is a World Championship contender in the waiting. This Day in History Rafi Cohen 4A Citizen Correspondent 10th December 1968 – the “300 Million” robbery is carried out in Japan. Employers of the Nihon Shintaku Ginko bank were loading ¥294,307,500 made up of bonuses for the employees of Toshiba’s Fuchu factory into a company car when they were stopped by a policeman on a bike. He said the car had been rigged with explosives and when the employers had retreated to a safe distance the policeman got in the car and drove off. It remains Japan’s largest unsolved heist.
Friday December 10 2010 Funny Injuries Zach Weisz 5M Citizen Sports Correspondent Torn Achilles. Groin strain. Broken fibula. Fractured metatarsal. Dislocated shoulder. These are amongst the many different injuries of which we hear about every day whilst we follow the exploits of sportsmen and women we know and love. However, there have been a few injuries which were a consequence of some quite interesting actions. Firstly a warning for all shouting teachers as this could apply to you! Alex Stepney, a former Manchester United goalkeeper, became very angry with his teammates during a game. He shouted at them with such vigour that he dislocated his jaw. So the next time you shout at us, please take note that you are risking a nasty injury! Ever needed an excuse to not read? Well here is the perfect one to show to your fearful mothers: Seattle Mariners baseball player David Aardsma suffered a sore back whilst reading during his 2,524-mile flight from Seattle to Tampa, Florida. He was injured for two days. How unfortunate for him…but how brilliant for us!! Another goalkeeper Lionel Letizi, of Paris Saint German, managed to strain his back whilst retrieving a scrabble letter off the floor. Someone should teach him a safer game. In addition, David Seaman (why is it always goalkeepers?) of Arsenal and England managed to strain his back picking up the TV remote control. No wonder England never succeeded under Sven! Steve Morrow, also of Arsenal, was celebrating with his teammates after scoring at Wembley in 1993. He was picked up by his captain Tony Adams who promptly dropped him to the ground breaking Morrow’s collar bone. Not much to celebrate there then. Southampton Goalkeeper Dave Beasant (yes them again!) managed to drop a bottle of salad cream on his foot and sever a tendon causing him to miss the first few months of the football season. Can Arsenal win the League? Alex Crichton-Miller 3C Citizen Sports Writer This is a question asked by almost every boy at City around this time of the year. The title race tension is mounting, and suddenly everything feels as if it is drawing towards a final sprint to the finish line. But this season Arsenal, a team that has not won a league title since their last success in 2004, really seem to be in with a chance. Arsenal have held their own against the big clubs this season although the great test of their worth will be the showdown between Arsenal and the other title race leader, Manchester United. However, this is just speculation. Every year we think that Arsenal can finally win Christmas & New Year sale in the TUCK SHOP NOW ON Page 13 Sport a trophy - or, at least, we hope they can. It feels so unjust that a club that plays such brilliant and beautiful football can go five long years without winning silverware. Unfortunately, for all its fantastic passing and lovely footwork, Arsenal do not seem to be a club strong enough at scoring goals to rival those soulless matchwinners Chelsea. They lack the presence up front to really be efficient in winning match after match after match. And then to the defence. Arsenal’s defence has been wobbly all season, with no one who can really stand in and hold together the backbone of the football club. Clichy has had a poor season, Sagna has not been at his best and the new centre-backs Koscielny and Squillaci have not been up to scratch. So can Arsenal win the league? In truth, probably not.
