Brazilian Grand Prix Analysis

The last race of the season, and I thought it was an exciting one, a classic even. How could anyone not root for Michael Schumacher who, despite having to race through the field twice because of mechanical difficulties, eventually ended up fourth, just a few seconds away from a podium finish. Could he have finished first? Maybe, maybe not. But all the way until the checkered flag, Michael Schumacher gave 100 percent.

Congratulations also to Felipe Massa who won his home grand prix, as well as Fernando Alonso, for winning the drivers championship. Button did a good job into 3rd place, considering he started 14th on the grid. He proved that Honda was the best behind the Renaults and the Ferraris.

Everyone else were just about par for the course, with the notable exception being the Super Aguris who were able to match the pace of the middle-rank teams. Bad luck to Williams and Toyota who had double DNF's. I sure hope Mark Webber's luck changes when he drives for Red Bull next season.

The season has been a long one, but a good one. With drivers switching teams next year and a whole slew of young guns entering Formula 1, the 2007 season looks to be a cracker! See you there!

La Vita e Bella!
