Exams. Again. Just when you finish a semester, its vacation time....which flies by...as fast as Schumacher on his qualifying run. Then the next semester begins and before you know it you are inundated with projects. Then the projects are over and you barely have time to get your head out of the quagmire of work and draw a deep breath and in you go again to prepare for your exams. Will there never be any respite. Isn't it enough that we prove ourselves in the practical war that we have to face the armies of theory every six months? Man its frustrating!

And, moving onto my favourite topic, what of the Chinese GP eh? A gritty performance in qualifying to line up sixth on the grid, followed by a sublime drive in changing conditions to win and take the lead in Drivers' Championship for the first time, albeit on account of more number of wins? Thats Michael Schumacher...still the at the top of his game at the end of his career.

And what of Alonso feeling the pressure? Making comments in the press about feeling alone at certain times and saying that some people in Renault don't want him to win because they don't want the number one going to Mclaren next year?

As for the championship, I'm so tensed, I'm not placing my bets either ways, especially since its more open now than it ever was.
