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 though.

Anyway, you know who Im rooting for regardless

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.

lurch519

yay, schumacher is already up 4 spots

moRotorMotor

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

lurch519

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

moRotorMotor

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.

lurch519

yay again, schumacher is now up to 12th

lurch519

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

lurch519

oh, he did get fuel on that stop

moRotorMotor

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

lurch519

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

lurch519

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

moRotorMotor

7th.

lurch519

god he is a BAS *** 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

lurch519

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

lurch519

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

moRotorMotor

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

lurch519

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

moRotorMotor

OMG he is 4th!!!
