GOD's walk amongst commoners!

Ok i will admit the title isnt mine.. Harsha Bhogle had used it to describe Sachin (the other GOD)after he hit a century after wat seemed an eternity (for HIM!!others would have been happy to score a 100 after 7-8 innings).. I m just borrowing it!
Schumacher decided to come back to F1.. Everyone went berserk.. The media, the fans, the devotees everyone was happy.. When the CEO of F1 says its great that Michael’s back it speaks volumes of the man and his capabilities.. Personally I had moved on and decided that my expectations and hopes rested on Alonso in the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro.. I was actually a bit disappointed that Schumi decided to come back with Mercedes Benz GP.. (For my dilemma read my earlier post “The day God changed his religion”). But Ross Brawn.. A 2009 championship winning car and more than that a GERMAN team was a major part I think .. I have followed Michaels comeback as much as I could.. In my limited reading.. Ferrari couldn’t convince the FIA to allow a third car for their team (they were in talks supposedly..)
Now the question of people criticizing him for his lackluster comeback performance.. I have read that some are even writing him off.. Its strange.. 7 world championships, 91 race wins and people still doubt his abilities.. Greatness is a double edged sword…If u look at his first interview after he announced his comeback, it read.. “Don’t expect me to be the WC immediately..No 8. is definitely an aim though in the next 3 yrs”. I think this speaks volumes of the humility of the man.. With his credentials he could have gone on to make BIG statements..
And now is F1 only about the driver.. that Mercedes GP car is struggling like hell.. I know ppl say Nico Rosberg has been bringing the results.. but lets not forget he has been here for the last 3 years when GOD was on a holiday.. and the new rules didn’t give Michael an opportunity to practice.. He used to practice pit-stops 500 times every weekend when he was at his prime!!! And what abt the horrendous tactical errors??? Rosberg’s never been caught in them!
HE has already said that “this car is not really a championship winning car and I m looking for the 2011 season already though my commitment to 2010 is a 100%”.
All this said and done I m not supporting him for the WC, I would still prefer the Matador on the Prancing horse ride on the top step.. (Looks unlikely in 2010.. ya! Another post is coming for ppl criticizing Alonso’s performance…) but this post is just for what I feel about this unwarranted criticism.. Though when he (wrongly another Mercedes GP blunder) overtook Alonso in the dying stages of Monaco, I couldn’t stop grinning.. (Something’s never change.).
“When in doubt, just look up to the sky Michael.. That’s the only thing bigger than you!”
