F1: Alonso and Schumacher tied in championship after Shanghai

With now just 2 races to go in the 2006 Formula 1 World Championship after this mornings Chinese Grand Prix made what was once a run away championship for Alonso with a lead of 20 points over second place, now, the tables have turned once more and with some bad luck on the side of Alonso, it not only let Schumacher back in to the championship, but finds the duo tied in the championship after a wet and "not boring" Shanghai Grand Prix.

The Chinese Grand Prix from the stand point of F1 race, was not bad, the wet race track made for some good racing. This race was shaping up to be yet another run away victory for Alonso, but after the first pitstop, Alonso dropped his 15+ second lead down to nothing. The debut during the race was who would pit for dry tires. After that the Renault teammates tried to play caught up to Schumacher and it ended up being career victory #91 for Michael Schumacher with Alonso closing about 2 seconds a lap, but ran out of time and having to settle for second place. A Renault 2-3 finish.

Anyway formula one fans look at this championship, this world championship will go down to the line between these two. Some buzz is that Formula 1 wants Schumacher to win this championship as Schumacher will retire at seasons end, who knows, its a rumor and nothing more, but for the both of them, its a sprint to the finish, everyone should just let these two drivers fight it out to the end. Let the best driver win.

Keep one thing in mind going into next weekend race, last years Japanese Grand Prix was one of the best races in recent years, the my headline says it all "From Last to First, Raikkonen wins an incredible Japanese Grand Prix ".

See Yeah!
