Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
The Grand Prix from Bejing was run today, it was an incredible race. Schumacher came from fifth to win and Alonso made do with 2nd after a botched pitstop and a lousy set of tires. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing but I loved it, even though Michael won.

The championship is effectively tied, Alonso and Schumacher have exactly the same number of points. Ferrari and Renault are within a point of each other for the constructors championship, it just couldn't be closer with two races to go. I'm rooting for Alonso, but Ferrari aren't making any mistakes and won the race with a perfect strategy for Michael.

Massa is another story, I have nothing but contempt for him as a racing driver. The question for me is how long Ferrari can afford to keep him and his poor judgement and his rotten luck.
