How sad was that engine blow out?

Did you watch the Suzuka F1 yesterday? Did your gut wrench? Ugh it was sad wasn't it? I am a big time Schumi fan - so I definitely felt bad that after leading so easily and taking a big step towards winning an unthinkable 8th World Championship, the damn Ferrari engine (which has been so unbelievably reliable) had to blow up at that bloody race!

Schumi, who has won pretty much everything there is to be won in F1 many times over must have felt immense disappointment - here was a championship that was gone for all money 8 races ago, and then to script an amazing turnaround on your last year on the circuit, and to see your prized asset - the Ferrari reliability - fail when comfortably in front of your closest rival - that feeling is something I wish I never have to experience.

What makes it worse is that the whole thing was being set up beautifully for a winner-take-all in Brazil. Now Alonso has to pretty much turn up and win the Championship.

It definitely ruined my day.
