Michael Schumacher's just won a record breaking sixth Formula One drivers world-championship and, though I'm not a particular fan of his, credit where it's due, he deserves to be congratulated. However, is this a good thing for the sport?
Schumacher's now won the last four successive championships and I don't think it's coincidence that over this timeframe I've found myself watching ever fewer of the races. With the exception of a few enjoyable Grands-Prix, generally as a result of something going wrong, the races have got more and more dull to watch.
I don't know what the answer to this problem is and I don't think the Formula One bosses do either. I'd like to see a return to the sort of racing I enjoyed during the late 80s when it was quite possible that any one of four drivers - Mansell,Prost,Piquet or Senna would have been in with a good chance of making it to the finish line first, but there's not that much sign of this happening...
