Forza!

Forza!

A heroic effort and finish, regardless.

And now an era is at an end. Nothing like these last ten years will ever be seen again in my lifetime, I'm sure.

Michael Schumacher retired yesterday. He also finished fourth, after starting tenth, working his way to fourth in a very few laps, then cutting down a tire which put him last, nearly a lap down. The car was apparently not working as it should either - it either handled badly or lost power at several points. It was one of the more impressive drives ever seen. Had the race gone on a few laps longer, he would have finished second.

I was very pleased for Massa. He's done frankly a lot better than I would have expected, and he deserved the win. It'll be interesting to see how he does next year, too.

I'm well pleased with Massa. I'd thought him a questionable choice at the beginning of the year.

Schumacher's drive yesterday amazed me. Fangio did something similar at the Nurburgring in 1957 when he cut a tire down just past the pit entrance, and went a lap down, only to fight his way back to win. Schumacher's career ending that way has a remarkable dramatic resonance.

That was one of the more amazing drives I ever saw. A hell of a way for Schumi to wind up his career, even if he didn't win.
