From rapture to despair!

Having watched Liverpool snatch victory from the jaws of defeat last week, and having seeing Kimi Raikkonen qualify in second for the European Grand Prix I sat down to watch the race on Sunday. As I support Kimi Raikkonen I was really happy for most of the race as he was leading, until the last 10 or so laps when I saw the state of this tyres, and saw that Alonso was catching him up and might overtake him. A little while later I then saw that Alonso was not catching him up quick enough for the amount of laps left, so I thought, ok, Kimi should win his third consecutive race. However, on the last lap his suspension let go and he went crashing out in a spectacular fashion! As James Allen (itv commentator) said, “for the second time this week I am physically shaking at the end of a sports event!” Why oh why do we do it to ourselves? Why do we, voluntarily, make ourselves emotional wrecks, for something which, at the end of the day, is only sport?
