Farewell M. Schumi
Certainly this man is a great one in the history of
Formula One, having beaten the long standing records of F1 history and rewriting
so many of them.
Well,
Certainly this man is a great one in the history of Formula One, having beaten the long standing records of F1 history and rewriting so many of them. True, there might be some controversies in the way he won some of the races, but a win's a win.
Anyway, Here we are, a few days before the last race of his career.
Let's see his standings so far.
He has to win the Brazilian Round and Alonso fail to score a single point. While this is a tough job, we can only hope Michael ends his career with a bang with the 8th Championship win.
Here are the records for 2006 so far.
This is truly a reason to be supporting the Reds.
Go Ferrari. I ought to be wearing the Ferrari's Shirt during that race to show M.Schumi my support on his last race of the career.

The one major record Schumacher is set to miss out on is the record for most Grands Prix competed in. His final race will be his 250th so he will finish 6 short of Riccardo Patrese's record of 256. Other records he will not be able to break are the one for most pole positions in a season, that is held by Nigel Mansell (14), and for most consecutive pole positions, held by Ayrton Senna (8).
Farewell, Schumi......Farewell....
