Season Finale

October 20th 2006 13:54

Mere words cannot describe the feeling of the millions of Ferrari and Schumi's Fans. As we look forward to see the Icon of millions of people race for one last time this season and say to ourselves- that we enjoyed every race. No one is letting go and yes it will be a tough one. The Interlagos circuit at Brazil will see Schumi race his last race. Schumacher has said he will go all out and head straight for the constructors Title. The Brazilian GP has been one of Schumi's favorites. Schumi all revved up, Bridgestone is Motivated especially for Schumacher and also because it will be the last season competing against another tyre manufacturer. Bridgestone said they have done a good job on the tyres and considered the chances of rain as well, and designed them accordingly. That’s not all because Shell the fuel provider has said they have improved the fuel for the team to extract maximum power and have also made the lubricants of the vehicles performance better. Well Ferrari for one wants the constructors title and it would be a great way to end this season. That does not mean the other teams are not. Alonso along with the Renault team will be looking to win this race and seal the Constructors championship. This being Alonso’s final race with Renault he would sure want to make a point to his new team - He means business. With both Teams on new Engines and all set to race for the last time this season everyone will want to make their mark. Two days left to go and surely each team is preparing their final agendas for the race to come. All eyes set on Ferrari and Michael Schumacher. Can he do what he has been know to do- pull one last victor to glorify his team that he loves so much. Can the team work hard enough to deliver the victory into Schumacher’s lap, will Alonso fight back or will Kimmi redeem himself. This is all in store for those who dare to watch the Season Finale of the F1 2006 season. Said to go down as one of the most exciting season in a long time and most importantly the one that saw the end of Schumacher’s reign over formula 1.

SCHUMI will fight

October 12th 2006 12:31

The word around the racing world is that "Schumi will fight" although Schumacher was quoted saying that he was not thinking about the championship any more. We saw the penultimate race at Suzuka, where Schumi had to retire on the 37th lap due to an engine failure. This was the first engine failure he had since 2001 what are the odds. Unfortunately it happened on the one race that could decide the championship. Schumacher was leading at this point when his engine stopped and millions of Schumacher fans hearts stopped with it I am sure as did Schumacher’s. The team did its best Schumacher did his best the engine was just too stressed out and could not survive. Schumi winning the championship title is a goal I cannot see happen. The odds are 9:1. If Schumacher is to win the world title for a record 8th time then he has to win the final race of the season. Not tough for the best racing driver the world has ever seen. But the tough part is Alonso not finishing in the top 8 if he does Schumi will still be short. Now that is something Schumacher cannot count on. In all the time I have seen him race he has been nothing short of pragmatic, he will not count his victory on someone else’s loss but it has to be of his own accord.
Alonso may or may not finish the race but I believe Schumacher will win the race. May not win him the Championship but he will certainly win the Final race of his career Brazilian Grand Prix. I like most of us has given up on the championship title but Schumacher has not given up his pride. He is by far the best there was, is, and is to come for a long time. To the racing Legend Schumacher.

F1-SUZUKA 2006 (qualifier review)

October 7th 2006 15:41

The race looks promising for Ferrari, with the two Ferrari drivers making up the first row of the grid. Massa taking pole ahead of Schumacher by 0.2 of a second. Another team in Red taking the second row with Brother Ralph and his team mate Jarno Truli. Renault occupied the third row of the grid with Fernando in fifth and Giancarlo in sixth.
Unfortunately for Mclaren Mercedes team did not qualify in the top ten. The race promises to be a thriller with the results almost crowning the new world champion. In case Schumacher wins this race and Alonso fails to score a point, the Ferrari Ace will secure his eighth world drivers' title. Alonso is yet to win in Suzuka while Michael Schumacher has a record six wins at Suzuka. The odds are in Schumacher’s favor. Will it remain the same? The Ferrari’s clearly outpaced the other team, were they running on a lighter fuel load? Which would mean that they will have to enter the pits early? Or will the race be dramatic with traces of rain as in the practice session. What tyre have the drivers and teams chosen? Will it be the best choice? We will have to wait and see. The championship is on the line. May the best man win.

2006 China Grand Prix

October 4th 2006 09:51

A total of 56 laps- over 1hour, 37minutes and 32.747 seconds of riveting racing-from the Chinese Grand Prix. This was a great race right from start to finish. With the two Renault drivers starting on the first row of the grid it almost seemed like all of Ferrari’s hopes were going to go down the drain. As the race results show it was not to be so.
On the very first lap of the race the grid saw many changes with Kimmi overtaking Jenson Button and soon after overtaking Rubens Barrichello. It did not take him long to overtake Fisichella. The aggressive nature of Kimi should have won him his first victory for this season. But it was not to be the Chinese Grand Prix saw Kimmi retire in the mid session the engine throttle mechanism failure. His first race victory this season is still not in sight, with Kimi scheduled to move to Ferrari next season he must want to prove to his new team that he is the best bet out there. Schumacher determined to retire has not retired his resilient spirit. Starting 6th on the grid Schumacher was off to fastest lap after another and slowly made his way through the traffic, the only way he knew how- with EASE. By the second round of pit stops arrived. Schumacher had already made enough ground to get a comfortable lead to add Alonso’s injury the Renault Pit stop was less than perfect. Definitely not what Alonso or the Renault team wanted at this stage. Schumacher then drove strategically saving his tires, engine and his fuel to end the race comfortably ahead of Alonso.
