Yep. I totally agree. Used to watch the races, but now, most of the times a short coverage is more than enough for me.

Not luck! It's MS. He has made the SF a perfect team.
...
Agree that he played the vital role in SF. In fact he was the heart of the team in most of the situations. Very eager to see next year if F will meet a resonable downfall. BUT i still agree that engine failures in F1 depend alot on the mechanics/materials/team...but that's not enough. You still need to have that certain amount of luck so that nothing goes wrong. MS is the best pilot out there (or used to be j/k) BUT he is not a God. He cannot just lay his hand on then engine before the race and make it perfect or flawless. He has probably the best atributes when it comes to comunicating with the team about the car mechanics/set-up etc and that is his merit for lifting the team with him, but he cannot control all the screw-bolts or tiny little things in an engine. If a part cracks then probably the race is gone and he cannot control those things. Yes, yes they do make the parts to resist only for 2 races and do it specificaly for that but humans often do mistakes, or don't have the expertise yet to measure/test in micronic (or less that micronic aka "PERFECTION") all the engine parts. So if the engine of MS resisted so many years without blowing-up, then a big reason it didn't do so, is pure luck. That's why MS had bad-LUCK when he suffered the engine blow-up exactly when he least wanted.

I that why Schumacher is not racing next year he will win again, and again...... if itis down to the driver.

His attitude made SF almost perfect. So it's not really luck, it was the factor Schumacher that let the mechanics give more than 100%, or at least try to do so. They wanted to give him the perfect set up, and mostly did.
It was no surprise to me, that the engine blew up just now.
They are now in a kind of a depression.

Hmmm...so are you saying that probably thay didn't give that much feedback because they knew that MS will soon retire?! I really don't think that. If SF would have smth to give back to MS that would be a nice and glorious retreat not a punch when he least needed it. Or maybe the Ferrari mechanics never stoped crying since MS announces his retirement and didn't do their job properly
BAD LUCK my friend. We've seen how much they struggled with the pit timings and race preparations and all that stuff and not only in Japan but in China too.
Or maybe i'm wrong and smth else is wrong there.
