A great sportsman...
The difference between a top class sportsman and the reigning champion.....

Michael Schumacher, Ferrari (DNF): “We are a great team. Our guys are the best and I have a great affection for everyone at Ferrari and am always more than satisfied in the way we work. Incidents like today’s can happen and they are part of racing. You win together but you also lose together. Today we did our best, I was leading the race and then my engine broke. That’s the simplest way to sum it up. That is Formula One. We can be proud of what we have achieved since Canada: we were twenty five points behind and no one could have thought we would be back in the fight for the championship, but we did it. Now we are nine points behind in the Constructors’ classification and we will do all we can to win this title in Brazil. As for the Drivers,’ it is lost. 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.”

Reality v/s fairy tale

Just because you want something really badly it doesn't mean it will happen.

Just because it is the right thing to happen it will not happen.

Just because a person deserves the best it will not happen.

Just because half a billion people pray for something it will not happen.

Just because it completes a long 15 yr old fairy tale happily it will not happen

Just because its the perfect ending it will not happen

Just bacause 'I believe' that to happen it will not happen

Desitiny......reality ......fate...god knows whatever....

Michael's & Ferrari - champions no matter
This is to just put it on record that whether Michael wins or not- whether ferrari win or lose - for me Michael and Ferrari are magic together. They've bene there done that -won this won that- they don't have to prove a thing to me or to the world or to Fernando Alonso...

All the best to the best!

A Contradiction- Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso is ferocious, aggressive, positive, confident, straightforward, determined driver on track. But off track he's insecure, tormented, frustrated, nervous- a bit of a cry baby.

Here is his latest crying ...

"Fernando Alonso has sensationally accused Renault of sabotaging his title campaign by making intentional errors during the Chinese Grand Prix.
Alonso lost the lead in both Sunday's Shanghai race and the Drivers' Championship after Renault put the wrong tyres on his car during his first pit-stop and then compounded the error by bungling his second stop.
And according to the Spaniard, the mistakes happened because Renault don't want him to retain the world title as he's leaving for McLaren at the end of this season.
"They wanted us to finish second and third because they do not want me to take the number 'one' to a different team," he told Spanish newspaper AS.
"They are not helping me as much as they could."
The 25-year-old went on to claim that Renault are now only interested in the outcome of the Constructors' race.
"Some [at Renault] are happy because we went past Ferrari in the team battle," he said"

To me he seems to be going the Jauqe Villenevue and Damon Hill way - who while successful on track but could not handle Schumacher's dominance and popularity in the F1 world- who could not accept that while they were individual champions they were not the most popular..while they reasonably good drivers they were not awed ...

Eventually the bitterness and the in security off field affected their driving and they went into F1 oblivion.

I do like Alonso on track but off track he is defintely going way off the track of what champions are made off- i hope he can keep his head held up high off field because it would be a shame to see such a great driver wasted.
