Favorite moment: Michael Schumacher's performance in Brazil. He clearly demonstrated why is he is acknowledged to one of the all-time best. To charge from 10th to 5th initially and then from 19th where he was 65 seconds behind the leader to finish 4th only 24 seconds behind. He made up 40 seconds and overtook about 20 cars today. Magnificent.

Michael's qualifying and race performance at Shanghai and at Imola were also fantastic.

This has been one of best seasons ever - tons of excitement with only one or two dull races.
