It was another sad day for Michael Schumacher at the Spanish GP. He was coming back in the race, especially after the second pit stop, where he ended up 4th. But then I realized he was slowing down and then found out that he had a flat and had to come in to replace the tire.

That sucked. He got bumped down to 11th or whatever. And then, of course, there was another flat, and it was all over.

Sad.

A lot of the races have been like for Schumacher. A bad second round of qualifying caused him to lose 5 or so spots on the starting grid once, and a DNF earlier caused him to get 0 points in the race.

Plus, with all the pressure that follows a ‘defending champion’ and a completely dominant team like Ferrari, it got increasingly difficult for the team to do well. They were forced to push harder during qualifying to get a higher position on the grid, and made mistakes and ended up losing a lot of spots. And in today’s F-1 world, it is so difficult to pass, and especially this year, with so many good drivers and good cars, it is even more difficult.

I really do hope that Ferrari come back, because I love the team and would not like seeing them go down without a fight.
