Ferrari comes out on top… again! The constructor’s championship was wrapped up sometime back when McLaren were stripped of their points. And the closest competitor being a world away – Ferrari having a lead of 103 pts – the race for the supremacy among the teams was pretty much a one horse race. One prancing horse that is. At the same time one can’t help but feel sorry for the British rookie Lewis Hamilton. The lad did come dangerously close to achieving a dream. A feat never seen before in the annals of the sport. Who knows? If he had not missed that gearshift on the 18th lap, we might have seen a rookie lifting the greatest honour in motor sport for the first time ever. But that is life in the fast lane. You will forever have people nipping at your heels. Blink and suddenly you realize that all your glories and triumphs count for nothing. But like someone once said, you only fall so that you may learn to rise again. People were sceptical when a relatively unknown German rookie challenged the set order in the early nineties. He was regarded more as a nuisance than anything else. But he went on to break every single record in the sport that was worth breaking. You know him today as one Michael Schumacher. So look out for the new faces that caused a stir this year. You just might see the spark of a champion in those eyes. One of them might be the next Herr Schumacher. If Kimi lets them that is… Godspeed Iceman!!
