Blog CemeteryOvershadowed by greatness
October 23rd 2006 01:02
Filipe Massa drove amazingly well to win his second grand Prix, and he was delighted to do so, on home soil. Probably his greatest achievement till date as he is the first "Brazilian" driver to win his home race since Ayrton Senna in 1993. Massa controlled the race from start to finish; one could rarely see any glitches in his driving or the car. Schumacher was not as lucky he suffered a puncture earlier in the race and drove amazingly to recover from that and finish fourth. Schumacher raced the only way he knew how with style, Passion, committed to make the best of what he had. He clocked several fastest laps and had the Fastest lap of the race clocking an amazing 1:12.162, on lap 70. An amazing drive to start from 10th place on the grid and then suffer a puncture and having to replace tyres in an unscheduled pit stop. Michael said he was never destined to win the Title. But his spectacular drive on the last race of his career pretty much summed up all his great works. Michael bids good bye to racing with a record 7 Titles to his name and 91 race wins and many more records that may never be beaten. Ferrari may not have won the Constructors Title Schumacher may not have won the last race of his career and he may not have won the World championship title, but no one is talking about anything else but Schumacher retiring and that he will leave a void in the racing world. Alonso's second title win has been overshadowed by Michael Schumacher’ spectacular drives to finish his career even without the race win. Arguably the greatest racing driver formula one has ever know, more record to his name than any other we Bid farewell to The German with guts that got him glory- To Michael Schumacher we will always miss you. Thank you for the great moments you gave us in racing.
