A few years back, I watched the Formula 1 Grand Prix religously - every race event was viewed by yours truly. Then Formula 1 lost its appeal and I opted to see a few races here and there instead, freeing up my Sundays.
Today, however, I was flipping through the channels and spotted the Italian Grand Prix on ITV. So, whilst finishing off my server, I sat through the many laps and advert breaks, realising that the spark was still there.
For those of you that missed the race and indeed any news today, you wont have heard that Michael Schumacher won the Italian Grand Prix (his 90th win!) - putting him just 2 points behind Alonso in the Driver's championship. The real kicker though, is that Schumacher's leaving at the end of this season - retiring from Formula 1 for good. Though it sounds as though he'll still be involved with Ferrari and/or Fiat.
I thought it was odd, that the only race I decide to sit through this season, is the race where he announces his retirement. Though most knew it was coming.
