/Frolics as Flying Finn Kimi pips Fizzi at the Flag.
Today’s penultimate Grand Prix of the Formula One Season produce the best racing of the year to date as Kimi Raikonnen in his magic Mclaren passed the Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella on the penultimate lap to win the Suzuka Race.
To come from last on the grid as a result of an earlier engine change penalty, to win the race is a testament to the Kimster and his skill as one of the very best Racing Drivers of all time. He has won seven of the races to World Champion Alonso’s six this year and undoubtedly will become World Champion when Mercedes get their act together.
It has been a memorable season with Alonso becoming the youngest ever World Champion two weeks ago and the Constructors Championship going right down to the wire at the last race in Shanghai in a weeks time. At the moment Renault and Mclaren are level on points so the prospect of a titanic battle in China next weekend is mouth watering.
Time to pass a brief comment on the outgoing World Champion Michael Schumacher who has battled bravely through the season with an ailing Ferrari. He has given all Motor sport fans worldwide 14 years of great entertainment with his great driving skills and in typical fashion is not in any hurry to pass on the Winners laurels to the young bloods .Every dog has his day and we are certainly seeing the end of an illustrious career that started with Eddy Jordan’s fledgling team at Spa Francorchamps in 1991.
If only Eddy had managed to hold onto Michael for a few races back then the picture of the Formula One Championship would certainly have been different. Sad to see Jordan languishing at the bottom of the Table in the hands of a less than capable owner. Maybe Eddy Jordan will put some of his fabulous wealth back into helping yet more new young bloods to a career in Motor Racing .Not that he needs to; he has shown the world just what entrepreneurial spirit lurks within our little Island time and again.
