God beckons and kisses Shanghai !

Schumi on the red ferrari swept to a sensational victory at the rain soaked Chinese GP on the Shanghai International Moto GP Circuit and negated the margin of the kiddie in blue F Alonso by bagging 10 on 10. The Seven time world champion after his 91st career victory pulled the kerbs on Alonso at 116 points but is ahead on race victories by 7:6.

Schumi started the race sixth on the grid on a wet track and in no time Alonso from the pole took a 25 second advantage over Schumi. It was the first pit stop when the God glared and then the tables turned. Schumi proved why he is the king in wet conditions on intermediate whereas Alonso changed his front inners. And the decision backfired on Alonso as he started loosing the grip.

They say fortune favours the brave. It so happened. Alonso lost around 8 - 10 seconds with a right rear wheel nut in his second pit stop. This was the time when the red leaped ahead and the majesty gained the lead 15 laps from the finish to embrace the chequered flag 3 secs clear of the Spainiard Alonso.

Finally, Schumi signed off China with a brick in his name as well. So it now boils down to the last two races in Japan and Brazil. By the way they say " The God in red owns Suzuka circuit, Japan."

Well what to write more, a man born in 1969 does it again barely 6 inches above the ground and i must say schumi with you an era of speed will be over. Though i have never believed in replacements but that you have negated the economic theory of substitutes as well.
