Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix
 

Oh Goodness, Michael Schumacher's problems just dont end. Broken tranny in the 3rd round of qualifying. He looked very pissed while he stormed out of his car in the ferrari pits. This is going to make his job very hard after blowing hie engine in japan. Starting in 10th is not going to make his job easy especially since Alonso is starting in 4th. Come on Schumi, pull one out one last time!

Michael isn't going to win the driver's championship. It will take the drive of his life and the million in one chance, Alonso crashes/finishes outside of points paying position. The only thing he can do is help the Manufacturer's championship title. It'll be interesting to see tomorrow's race to say the least what will happen.

If the trans it broken and has to be repaired, won't he have to start from the pitlane? After qualifying is over the cars are suppose to be in Park Ferme (spelling?). Plus he didn't get a installation lap in the last round of qualifying.

Good for him, maybe he will try to take Alonso out of the race like he tried to do with Jacques Villeneuve in 1997.

....is what Im thinking he/Massa might do as a last desperate measure. That would obviously be nuts :Eyecrazy: though.

Anyway, you know who Im rooting for regardless :mdrmed:

Knowing the way Villeneuve races, Jacques was probably blocking a pass and Schumacher was the faster car trying to pass. Also, I don't see what good taking those 2 cars out would do to anything. It wouldn't win any extra points for Schumacher or Ferrari. Schumacher is grided so far back that if he could catch Alonso, Schumacher would clearly have the faster car and it would benefit Renault if Alonso took out Schumacher. Not the other way around.

Thats true. Dont know what we were thinking. MS has to win, Alonso has to place 9th or worse. A longshot...

Do you guys know what other networs will air the coverage of the final race? I know Speed is on now and TSN will do it at a much later time.

yay, schumacher is already up 4 spots

You spoke too soon lurch519. He had a left rear flat and had to pit. He's screwed.

yeah, fiscichella cut his rear left when schumacher passed him, thats messed up

Imagine where he would be had that not happened. He would be fighting for first by now. Mind you, he started 10th. That is unbelievable by itself. He's still got a lot of fight in him.

yay again, schumacher is now up to 12th

though i think he shoulda taken on fuel when he pitted for the tire

oh, he did get fuel on that stop

He's 10th again. He dropped as far back as 20th. Man he is piloting a rocket ship!

8th now, go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! schumacher

wow, his team gifted him the car from the race, lucky guy

7th.

god he is a BAS ASS driver. now he is in 7th. can he do it. to go from 10th to 7th is not bad as a driver. to go from 6th to last then back to 7th with 29 laps still to go, thats fracking amazing

6th 6th 6th!!!!!!!!!!!

ok back to 8th now, but he pitted, everyone ahead of him has to pit still

Yea, that was because Rubens pitted. There is absolutely no reason for Michael to be ashamed of today no matter what happens.

no, not at all, hes got a shot at 3rd at least. i have to say this is a race of a lifetime

OMG he is 4th!!!

ive got a tear in my eye. schumacher is the best ever

Today's race is nothing short of sensational. First Brazilian to win the Brazilian GP. Alonso clinches his second driver's championship in a row. Jenson Button climbs 11 positions to place 3rd. Michael Shumacher...I'm at a lose for words to describe his drive. He fell as far back as 20th to come back with the drive of his life to claim 4th. He can hold his head up high even though he didn't win the race. It's hard enough to pass an F1 driver, let alone 16. I have a much higher respect for the man.

^ Wait there is passing in F1?
Sorry had to make that comment. One of the reason's I dont watch much F1 to boring at times similar to Nascar, both are just to areo dependant. Though reading some of the post's it seems it was actually a exciting race with alot of passing (I'm assuming everyone was not just Shumacher). Nice to know that he had a great drive and didnt have a engine failer (again). I was out for most of the afternoon so I didnt even have a chance to watch it at all :(. I'm sure I'll see tons or replays of this on Speed tonight.

Its like hes making a point. Maybe for his next race he will be running with the same guys he was passing. Like he was seeing how good they are on the track. I dont know. But I cant wait to find out. \m/

I don't think we will see that happen. It was his last race.

umm...have you seen the footage of '97? several million people did, and it was a pretty obvious desperate move on MS's part. that's a move even the most ardent Tifosi have never staunchly tried to defend MS for.

That being said, his drive today in Brasil was spectacular; he'll be missed.

That was an astounding drive from Schumacher! Was hoping that he could at least get on the podium, but too bad for those intermittent technical problems during the race.

In a way, he left a much stronger impression of his great driving skills with this storming drive rather than just running away with the pole and win. I will definitely miss seeing him fighting for the wins next year.

Oh OK shows how much I follow this stuff lol
