well IMHO
its because i was celebrating it with a good pint of beer
The guy is good but only because his generation died to early....
also i don't see him as a sportsman because he did many things wich wheren't sporty....
i compare him to the typical German Dog..
Sharp,Fast,Deadly,Determination.... is the word...
The battle of the future will be between alonso and raikonen.
and i bet everything i have that Schumi won't win this year. and with a bit of luck neither of the ships.....
Wy if you hurt Renault/Alonso they will do everything they can to fight against it...
What you saw on sunday was the risk of giving all we have and be on podium or go with a blow... this time it was the blow......(albiet Fisco finished
4th - points-)
F1 is for my known the only sport in the world that has that political interest between them (FIA and Ferrari) i see them as one.... its not strange
that FIA offered ferrari the most money to be in F1..
they where the first signers of the new rules... wy? because they are the longest running team in F1.... albeit they didn't show up the 2nd race
of F1... Enzo didn't agree with the money he was giveing for transportcost compensation.....
We will see if i am right or wrong.
Tks

Don't really like Schumacher but it can't be said that he is not talented.
He has driven round people over that last 5-10 years and looked in a league of his own. We have seen many drivers with better cars at times and they
have never showed consitency like he has, or the talent. He can win races by putting in fast laps at critical stages of races, which I have yet to see
others manage.
He may be a bit dull, but come on Raikonen - that's the dullest bloke to walk the planet.

no i'm not
i always went for mecanical teams.. so i support renault, but i'm doing it since benneton time so nothing to do with ultimate performance...
also when schu was at benneton i didn't liked his way of driveing albeit he is talented and fast its just the killer instinct wich in my opinion
doesn't belong on the circuit..

Err I don't follow.What do you mean by killer instinct?
My opinion is Michael is the best morden day F1 driver. He was winning at the dawn of his carrear,he is still winning in his twilight years.
Remarkable.

His problem in that respect is that he thinks exactly like a sucessful F1 team.
Using the letter of the law rather than the intent, taking advantage of loopholes, balancing the risks against the benefits of any and all actions -
if getting caught means a fine who cares, cheap compared with the engine bill! He's a product of the current system.
The real problem (IMO) is with the rule-mongers. If they deducted 20 points and/or a race ban for 'appearing' to knock a competitor off
the track delibarately it would have stopped him instantly. Problem being the lawyers would be brought in every week I suppose.
Not really a fan of F1 or Shumacher as it isn't exciting enough these days, but he's certainly an exceptional driver, and probably the
best F1 driver in the wet ever.
I'd put all the buggers in WRC rally cars and see how well they manage

It's called streatching the rules LOL!
I remember years ago Ford running lightweight Capris that had been dipped in acid! And Toyota with a clever turbo that was clearly designed to
circumvent the regulations!
I actually admire those people that push the envelope!
At the end of the day it's only a sport.

Have to disagree about the self confessed part. I can't remember him ever owning up to cheating, although we all know he did it, and he and his
teams have stretched the rules a lot when not cheating. I had much more respect for Senna because at least he said upfront if Prost got ahead of him
at the first corner he would take them both out, and admitted he had afterwards. Maybe once he has retired Schumacher will admit to deliberately
driving into others and parking at Monaco. A pig just flew past my window
