Luck?? Perhaps not!!

I guess in all fairness FA might have just won the WDC 2006. He may not be the best champion but he will be the champ nonetheless. Of course no one can fault his driving; he is a great driver, just wished he let his driving do the talking.

It was one of those times when you’d wish to have all the action on the race track but engine failure is a very real problem and that’s F1. This is something that MS fans and Tifosi know only too well, a-la-early MS-Ferrari days. Of course many would argue that it is not over yet, and yes it is not over yet. MS can still win it but that would be quite out of the ordinary as FA just needs one point in the next race to win. But then again Brazil is a race where just about anything can happen. Let’s hope it is an entertaining race to cap off a great season.

I guess the real fight will be down to whom finishes 3rd in the WDC, Massa or Fisi..It’s anyone’s game this one, with only one point separating the two. And of course there is the WCC to play for as well. Which I think can only be done with a Ferrari one-two.

It is unfortunate that the media has spun things around to make it sound that MS entire career is dependant on this one championship and that if he fails to clear it he is not that great after all. Well as media goes sensationalism is their way. Well I guess the 7 world championship and the name all over the F1 record books should remind the press.

With the end of the motor sport season near, F1 is almost sewn up. Moto GP as always has been a cracking season. Can Rossi do it again? He is closing in on Nicky Hayden to take yet another title but he is still on the back foot. So that would be one to keep a close eye on.

With WRC, this one is interesting. Loeb is leading the championship with almost 30 points and around 4 races to go from Gronholm. So seems like any other championship, but if you could not predict a spanner being thrown into the works, here’s one: Loeb has fractured his arm in four places in a mountain biking accident effectively putting him out of the season for the next few races. He will miss Turkey for sure and Rally Oz but, he says he will try to be back for the last two rallies.

Not to make things further dramatic…his replacement for the next two races is none other than Colin Mcrae. Well have to see how that one plays out.
