Two weeks ago in Japan, Michael Schumacher, minimised his changes of winning his eighth world champion title due to an engine failure. The engine failure occurred a lap and a half after his last scheduled pit stop.
It’s quite a common that around the time of a pit stop the engine fails. It’s the quick change of the engine behavior; engine running warm - stop - start, that makes the engine vulnerable.

And here I am, on the first day on my last scheduled two weeks pit stop before christmas… with an engine failure. Tomorrow i’m of to Sweden for a week to celebrate my sisters 30th birthday, and this morning I woke up with a cold.

Before my last holiday I experienced the same thing. Think I need to slow down the revs…

I guess I am as vulnerable as formula one car engine.
