Red Revival

Happy days are here again! Schumacher brought home his first checkered flag of the season for Ferrari at the San Marino Grand Prix. Not that Michael's a stranger to checkered flags, mind you. Today's was his career 85th!

Could this mean that Ferrari is finally past last year's abysmal performance? I certainly hope so! I really missed hearing that Italian national anthem during the podium ceremony. If you've never heard it, you should have a listen. It's quite an upbeat little tune.

Ferrari is now in third place for the Constructor's Championship, at 30 points, behind McLaren-Mercedes with 33 and Renault with 51. Schumacher is in second place in the Driver's standings, with 21 points. He trails Alonso, who's currently sitting at 36 points. The season isn't even half over yet, so it's really still anybody's game. Well, almost anybody, that is. I'm pretty sure Red Bull aren't holding their collective breath.

Rumour has it that Michael is going to announce, some time in June, whether or not he's going to retire at the end of this season. If he decides to retire, I sincerely hope it ends on a high note for him, bringing home the Driver's as well as the Constructor's Championships one last time.
