The Formula One season came to a close on Sunday. Fernando Alonso ended up winning the championship, but not the last race. The Brazilian Grand Prix went to Michael Schumacher's teammate, Massa. Everyone's eyes were on Schumacher though, it was his last race. He was all over the board. Starting in tenth, Schumacher moved up to sixth before flatting a tire. After his pit he was last in the current field at eighteenth. He then drove quickly the rest of the race, eventually moving up into fourth for the checkered flag. It was really an unbelievable show of driving skill. I don't know another person that watches Formula One, so I feel a little awkward writing about it on here. Maybe it is an audience of one, me. The next season starts in April and you should really think about watching it. Don't worry, it isn't anything like the boring racing we have here in America. The commentators aren't all American and they regularly make fun of NASCAR. Another favorite pastime they share is to mention the Formula One drivers that have come over to the US and won the Daytona 500, or say, the Indianapolis 500, for shits and giggles.
I had a couple of pints with The Mick tonight. It was good.
