Correction

A keen-eyed reader of this column has picked me up on a bit of a howler:

"I am not sure I agree totally with the statement that we have not been here before. Two examples:

1. Nigel Mansell's rear tyre exploded in Adelaide with the 1986 title almost in the bag.

2. In 2003 Schumacher went to the final race in Japan needing just a point to be world champion while Kimi Raikkonen had to win and hope Schumacher did not score. Raikkonen led that race while Schumacher had a nightmare, colliding with local hero Takuma Sato at the start and dropping to last place. He finally moved up to eighth as Barrichello took the victory. "

I am pleased about this and would encourage further responses on things I say which you may disagree with.
