Alonso, World Champion, again?

[number001]

He (Alonso) won the race in Suzuka!

Technically, Michael must win in Brazil and Alonso must not score a single point. This scenario is so remote that I think Alonso is the new Champion. However, this one for the books if that remote scenario ever happens.

Michael could have ended on a high but a lousy engine let him down!

SABOTAGE SABOTAGE SABOTAGE RENAULT hehehe... Ferrari fan pa rin ako... it's still unsure if Schumi would retire... sayang lang di nanalo idol ko..

[jim]

yup alonso is one lucky driver hehehehe

as for schumi well he is aware of everything but i say kudos to him! happy retirement

Ferrari will be testing a secret device that sends a very powerful and focused electromagnetic signal that will mess up an F1 car's electronics. So as Alonso's car passes the pit lane, his engine will die on him. They will do this in the middle of the race once they have ascertained that Michael will be P1 all the way.

Hehehehe.

I'm dissapointed, na nag retire pala sa japan si michael, realiable kotse nila bakit nyayon pa, may kamalasan din ito si michael pag tight title racing. kung ako si Michael sasabihin ko kay Massa bunguin si Alonso sa brazil I hope he doesn't retire yet until he wins another championship.

Michael Schumacher throws in the towel?

Seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher today conceded this year's title race is over and handed the crown to rival Fernando Alonso. The retiring German admitted that Alonso, the defending champion, is in a virtually unbeatable position and therefore he will go to the final race of the season in Brazil aiming only to help Ferrari lift the constructors' championship.

"The drivers' title for me is finished, but we go to Brazil to win the constructors'," said Schumacher after an engine failure gifted victory to Alonso in the Japanese Grand Prix. It was his first engine failure in more than six years.

"Our team is great: the boys are the best I know. I'm very satisfied with all our mechanics and engineers in Ferrari. That's racing," he said. "You win and lose together. Today we all tried hard, we were first but lost the engine. That's Formula One. I'm not very disappointed. Life and racing is like this.

"We must be very proud of the work we've done, because in Canada we were 25 points behind, and neither you or others thought we'd come back. Now we are here, nine points behind in the constructors'."

Schumacher is ten points behind Alonso and can only take the title if the Spaniard fails to score a point in Brazil and he wins the final race.


"First of all we'll fight for the constructors' title in Brazil. We can also fight for the drivers', but we're 10 points behind," said Schumacher.

"I don't want to think of a race I must win with the other not finishing. I don't like that," he added.

Despite Schumacher facing the facts, Ferrari refused to give up hopes of a miraculous recovery in Brazil.

"Obviously we're very disappointed. Michael had his situation under control, but then Felipe suffered from a rear tyre puncture, and then this engine failure happened," said the team's Technical Director Ross Brawn. "Things just didn't quite work out today, but we're in this position now for all sorts of reasons.

"We didn't have a great start to the season, then Fernando lost his engine in Monza and so on, so really, it's a combination of things. But it is not over yet. It's a long shot, but we're definitely not giving up."

Schumi still has a chance. I'm definitely watching the next race.

RE: Alonso lucky? Considering he lost an engine himself a while back, I think this just evens things up.

a very remote and unlikely chance , that is. Bec. of my pessimistic outlook of the championship standings at least I dont have to stay up late to watch the race at Brazil.
