Well, the 2001 season is over

Nice end to the season, wasn't it? Such a dominant win for Schumacher. I like it.

And judging by the points table there were two leagues this season: MS and all the rest. Hope this is repeated next year

I don't think the season was a complete domination from Ferrari or MS. I mean, yes, the table shows that at the end, but, hey, there were 5 diferent winners this year (MS, MH, RS, JPM, DC), besides, JPM did a few interesting passes to the big Schumy, that was big time fun to see. Even Rubens drove like a man on some races.

Yes, Ferrari won Drivers and Manufacturers champions almost doubling the points of the second places, but apart from the first 2 races, there was always a challenge. Races always finish with a battle at the end, in the middle or at the begining. The problem was reliability from the other teams, but always there was someone fighting with Schuey.

I hope MS win next year again. But I KNOW, there will be a lot more fights next season. Just think, Montoya and Ralp, Raikonnen on a Mclaren and DC on the other car (like to see Jaques on that seat), the surprises we can get from the now dissapear benneton (renault from now on), as David Hobbs will say, "boy o boy" 2002 will be fun to watch.

By the way, MS will had clasified 1st, 2nd and 3er on the Japanesse GP, he did the 3 best times on the session. That was great. That was domintation.

When talking about a dominant win I was referring to the Japanese GP, but now that I think about it, it can be applied to the whole season as well. You are right, someone was always fighting MS, but they were always fighting MS! Every season since 1994 there is someone fighting MS! That's what I like. That's what makes him so great in my mind.

As for JPM's win, well, if Michael had put his heart to the Monza race, he would have won. Come on, Rubens finished 5 seconds behind the winner, and when was the previous time that Rubens had finished closer than 5 seconds behind Michael? See?

Well, the only thing more boring than a nascar race, are the races of those little cars with the baseball cap on top, I think they call it midget. I heard nascar took out the Watkins glen race, so they only turn left now. Getting worse every day.

Best racing series I have seen: British Touring Car Championship, the years between 1996 and 2000.
