SCHUMEY'S ON POLE!! SCHUMEY'S ON POLE!! yeah baby.. the man's got P1 at this weekend's san marino grand prix. will he win? heck, after whats been going on so far this season i'm not going to even bother. as much as i hate to admit it, those damn renaults are just too blardy fast.

however, the tide's have been known to change once the races head back to europe so i guess it might be too early to say, but honestly.. i'm not holding my breath just yet (0k, actually i am). haha.

anyway, some interesting facts and figures that i came across:

  • schumey's P1 at san marino this weeked is his 66th career pole position, breaking the late ayrton senna's all-time record of 65 poles
  • coincidentally, this is the same track which senna won his final pole, a day before the brazillian was killed at this event in 1994 (choi choi choi, touch wood!!)
  • senna's pole mark is the only F1 performance record which schumey has yet to beat - he now has the most wins, championship titles, poles and points than any other driver in history
  • only riccardo patrese's achievement of competing in 256 GPs so far escaped schumacher, for whom this weekend marks his 233rd F1 GP.

so can schumey convert his P1 into a victory this time around? i certainly hope he does, seeing that he's pretty confident about it - "with the car we had, getting a pole was sort of obvious..", wah lau eh.. is it necessary to be so lansi? win first then talk la aiyoh! hehe..
