A Bittersweet Day at Imola
Michael Schumacher won the San Marino GP today at Imola, just hours
after his mother passed away. He and his brother, Ralf (4th), were
surely
it by the mix of emotions.
It’s a tribute to Michael that he was able to hold it together
at such a difficult time. Can you imagine? Imola is often emotional
(Ayrton Senna died there in 1994). For Ferrari to get their first
victory of the season (and for Rubens to pick up a 3rd place), under
such circumstances, adds another chapter to that legacy. His
mother, who avidly encouraged the Schumacher brothers
throughout their karting years, would have been very proud.
Condolences to Schumi and Ralf.
