Things Keep Going Worse

Hohum...after two weeks of anticipating whether or not my boy Kimi would actually win another race, well let's just say I'm disappointed again.

Yes, it wasn't his fault.  The rear wing just flew after a good pitstop.  It ended his race before he was really starting.  The engines were good, the chasis were bad.  And honestly I wonder why.

So this year, instead of actually winning races like he was suppose to be doing, he's had one crash after another.  Again, it wasn't his fault.  He's really a good driver, but bad luck after another has cost him so much that he's not in the running for Championship unlike last year and the year before that.

In another aspect, Hockenheim isn't the place where you will see him at his best even if he starts at his best.  He hasn't finished a race in Hockenheim eversince he started racing in F1.  Even when he was in Sauber, he didn't finish the race there:

2001 - retired: Driveshaft
2002 - retired: spun
2003 - retired: Accident
2004 - retired: rear wing failure

I have this strange feeling that he's cursed never to finish a race in Hockenheim.  While he's really good in racing, if Lady Luck isn't with you during races, the chances of you winning is really close to 0.

My poor Kimi.  What can you do to actually salvage this season?
