it isn't over until it's over.

is it over?

---------------------

the only way that schumacher can win the world title is if alonso retires in brazil along with schumi winning the race.

"I don't want to head off for a race, hoping that my rival has to retire. That is not the way in which I want to win the title". well said. but seeing that he's said it, would it be too much to ask if he could end his career by crashing into alonso? for old time's sake?

i mean, look at this guy:

even with the helmet on, he's still annoying.

---------------------

aside from kissing schumacher's title chances goodbye, we also have to bid adieu to suzuka. formula one moves to the fuji raceway next year, and we're going to see much less of one of the world's favourite tracks. from the r130 to the ferris wheel, nothing tops a championship decider like suzuka. it's proved its worth once again this year, and it's going to be sad to let it go.

next up is interlagos: i hope alonso retires. mathematically, if he does conk out and if schumacher wins the race, schumi wins the championship on the merits on winning more races despite being level on points.

let's pray.
