It's funny the two oldest drivers on the grid are the two who are in the best shape. Michael and DC are both physical specimens.... It's a bit ironic IMHO....
Just goes to show you why Shumy dominated for so long. It's that mentaility of never giving up and always try harder. He also approaches it from a very technical poin-of-view, he never let's his pride overcome his shortcomings. This is a good example, he saw a problem and he's taking measures to help him next year. Truly amazing.
Yeah, I guess when I think about it, my respect for MS has always been greater in times when things aren't perfect and he's been challenged to perform. He really attacks things head-on rather than dwelling on the negative. Sign of a true champion, indeed.
I got this shot of his helmet in Mugello. He had 4 helmets total with three in bags. Didn't see any weights at that time but I'm sure he added it later. I think he is even more determined this year with young bucks like Massa and possibly Rossi nipping at his heals. Image Unavailable, Please Login
