The "Red Snake" Jarbas wins on Ferrari the Austrian F1 GP

I will tell you a story, the story of a child and his red car.

Austrian F1 GP: the triple World Champion Novikov (McLaren) starts from the third place, the driver Championship leader Saint Germain (Red Bull) starts from the second. In front of them, starting from the pole, the "Red Snake" Jarbas on his red flashing Ferrari.

Now, the story I'm going to tell you could tell you about a race with overtakes and re-overtakes to keep the first position, a race with different and creative strategies among the top drivers... a race in which a man, starting from the pole, has to keep behind himself two of the strongest drivers ever seen in this game... but this in not that story, as this is not the story of a man...

This is the story of a child living in Portugal that was usual to draw red cars and to dream to run fast as the wind.

So... Jarbas, "the Red Snake", starting from the pole, remembers that every man has been before a child and dreams to run as fast the wind. No overtakes, no strategies. Jarbas simply fly away with his red car, fast, very fast, too fast for anyone.

Behind the Ferrari of Jarbas the battle: the two titans Saint Germain and Novikov and the man with the heart of ice: Kokkonen (Williams).

Kokkonen has a car (Williams) with a speed-based chassis and use it to overtake the two titans. But Novikov and Saint Germain are fighting for the title and use their tremendous talent to come back in front of the Finnish guy.

Novikov goes long with the second and third stint and his strategy works, the Russian seems looking at the first position of Jarbas, but a little mistake in the end of the race give the chance to Saint Germain to come back to the second place.

Jarbas takes the win and gives to Ferrari the second place in the Constructor Championship. Saint Germain is second, strongly in the first position in the drivers Championship, Novikov is third waiting for another chance to attack Saint Germain, Kokkonen takes an oustanding fourth position for his team.
