in a 2 weeks time..

the F1 season for this year will come to an end in 2 weeks time, and right now, Fernando Alonso from the renault team is leading the top drivers title. maybe some would argue that it was just pure luck that Schumi's ferarri broke down, but believe me, when you're on the track, nothing is pure luck. every variables counts. even if your front or rear wing tilt 1 degree or ur tyre are out of air for 1 psi, it will effect ur driving. just like when renault had his own engine problem in monza (is it?) and alonso couldn't finish the race and while in shanghai where a few slips in strategy had left alonso 24++ sec behind schumacher but managed to catch up until the 2nd place. i bet that if there's more laps to go, aloso would've manage to be no.1. (btw, i think the china race was the most interesting race i've seen for this season).

ferarri's engine hasn't had any problem since 2001 and today, it just blew up a short while after schumacher drove out of the pit stop. it is said that the ferarri team had detected something wrong is going on with their engine but couldn't figure out what it is, until the engine blew up on the most vulnerable moment on the race, a few moment after the pit stop. the problematic engine finally got its moment to rest while on the pit stop but when it is put back to back to pressure, presumably much pressure than before the stop, the engine couldn't stand it anymore and it blew.

i'm not really a fan of alonso or any other team on the track (i used to 'cheer' for mclaren back to the days where i wouldn't miss any of the race). i didn't really follow this season F1. but like i said in previous post, i didn't like to see schumacher dominate the podium.

if schumacher's car blow up on the last race next two week, it will be deja vu. just like what happened with mika hakkinen on his last race before his retirement.
