Agony and Ecstasy of being a Schumacher admirer

Tags: race schumi
Heyy 
Wishing all my blog readers the best of health and spirits.
Its that time to hit break and have some crazy dose from ‘HONEST CONVERSATION WITH A SELF CONFESSED MAVERICK’
Quite obviously and honestly and honestly and obviously I got to admit that being in a club  ‘We The Schumi Admirers’  is not easy these days. One has to really work hard in defending him as well as finding out the positives from the midfield action packed race that now he is generally associated with. Those days of being in front runners hasn’t come yet except for rare wet occasions like in Montreal.
Come Friday and this is how our chain of thoughts would be on a typical race weekend.
Please my plea – Don’t laugh ….. Ya
the QUALIFYING –
The wish we have is somehow Schumi squeeze himself into the session Q3 wherein top 10 drivers have a last go for grid positions even if he generally manages 8th or 9th – lately mostly its the 10th though. There is that big sigh of relief once he crosses that Q2 session. Its like a mini battle won. At once 11th had become synonym for his qualifying result.
At one point of time we used to feel low after he qualified 2nd sometimes and now we refuse to accept that he is not that a fast driver over a single lap that he used to be with Ferrari days but feel happy that he managed to put his useless machinery in that position over mining his efforts. So what if his teammate is always there in top 6 ot 7 positions in that same useless machinery.
A  big  Vowwwwwwww  for
 ‘We The Schumi Admirers’
After all he is 42 whereas his teammate is just 26…..
and wait………………….
the gap is just 2-3 tenths of a second you see
now….
the RACE THAT SUNDAY –
Our hopes you see
He doesn’t bang the nose of his Mercedes MPG – W02 to someone in the first corner of first lap. Lately he is quite vulnerable – infact these days its like a good surprise if his car stays intact without any sorts of accidents. But it only adds to our agony coz we are deprived then of a good reason to defend him after the race.
His useless machinery gearbox remains intact and doesnt break is another wish we have for the race.
We never expected a race victory from him – how can that’s be possible with this useless Mercedes powered machinery.
And hang on…….
we don’t expect a
podium finish….
we are happy in top 8 finish…..its like winning the race
Again a  big  Vowwwwwwww  for
‘We The Schumi Admirers’
After all….
its not a wet race where in he can show his rain race crafting and have chances of scoring a podium,
But you see……

‘We The Schumi Admirers’ still have last of laughs
How?????
We still see him grabing headlines every race weekend,
We still have those record breaking power of stats with us,
We feel happy when current F1 champion is called baby Schumi,
We still have all those reasons of age, tyres problems etc to boost of,
and…
We still can say put him in RedBull, Maclaren or Ferrari and then see…..
Enough of Schumi bashing ….
Lets see the other side of me
Looks like I am a frustrated schumacher fan but to be honest im not really surprised that it been a struggle. As someone with a knowledge in sports science i understand the enormity off the task michael took on as a 40+ year old in sport that is more physically and mentally demanding than ever before.
As I am writing this blog I received a news that he would be driving next year as well and
I sign off with an image hoping to see Schumacher win atleast once before he retires….
