Silver Arrows and Scarlets are back!
Everyone remembers what happened to Aryton Senna at Imola. I wasn't hooked on to F1 then but still hear people saying it was one of the darkest days of F1.
Formula 1 has missed Senna ever since.
Within 2 weeks of the Hungarian GP we had the news of one of the young GP2 drivers succumbing to injuries sustained by a loose wheel of the race leader. At the Hungarian GP we had Felippe Massa who was hit by a spring which came loose of the Brawn GP car of Barichello. Massa needed to be operated on and looks like he might miss the remainder of the season. I really liked Massa for fighting back all the time and trying to overshadow Kimi who now looks hopeless in the Scarlet Car although he did manage 2nd on the podium.
Apart from all this happening we had the Renault team who messed up big time for race leader Alonso. After all that had happened in qualifying how could they not put the bolt on right. And if the did know it wasn't right they should have told Alonso to either stay in the pits or retire.
The wheel bouncing off was not a good sign. Renault face a ban at Valencia but have appealed against it. My point of view the ban is justified. Even if it was Ferrari I would have asked the Ban to be imposed.
The only good part from this weekend was that we say Mclaren and Ferrari battling back for the Podium. Hats off to Lewis - a spectacular drive.
Hopefully this wasn't just a one off result for these two teams.
This brings me to the conclusion and a big speculation - Will Schumi return in place of Massa? I wish he does. Both Badoer and Gene seem good but must be more rusty than Schumi for the 2009 season. Also it would be great if Alonso switches to Ferrari like the rumours suggest right now.
What happens at Valencia will reveal everything. Will Alonso move to Scuderia? Will Schumi return? These are the questions that need to be answered.
