Mazzacane the worst of the lot!

neutral · 11 Sep 2000, 02:05 (Ref:36386)

No one needs reminding of the atrocity witnessed in Monza. But I would like to remind the forum about the incidents between the leaders and Mazzacane. When I saw his first go at Schumi I was just thinking "that was a bit stupid", but I could not belive my eyes when I saw what he had done to Mika Hakkinen. That was outright dangerous and the worst bit of driving today. The only difference is that nothing happened so it tends to be forgotten. I do not mean to sound cold considering the events at Monza, but I think what Mazzacane did has to be looked at just like the other incidents need to be looked at. Ok no one was hurt, but maybe next time, we wont be as lucky.

Unknown Soldier · 11 Sep 2000, 02:17 (Ref:36389)

I think Martin Brundle said it best when he called Mazzacane's driving as Pathetic.

Dino IV · 11 Sep 2000, 19:32 (Ref:36531)

Oh come on, give the fella a break. It's the only fun this boy has! Mazza outbreaking TGF at the first chicane was great fun! He probably grinned from ear to ear for some laps.
Imagine you're driving a Minardi ... at Monza. Chanceless al weekend (although the Pugs proved equally worse

).
Then this top gun called Schumacher in his shiny red zillion dollar supercar slipstreams up your back and will pass you at the first chicane.
Wanna outbrake me? Well come on outbreak me ...

I agree. It would have been fun for Mazzacane, but thats the only person it would have been fun for. I thought Minardi were an Italian team, which is why I could not understand such disloyal behaviour to their big brother. I admit the Schumi incident wasnt that bad. But he was weaving all over the straight when Hakkinen was trying to pass him. I suppose at least we cant complain about favourtism.

mazzacane and gene
dumb and dumber

Minardi fan · 16 Sep 2000, 10:23 (Ref:37485)

I didn't see anything wrong with the first incident at the chicane. However his swerving on the straight was ridiculous.

I will NOT, on the other hand, have words said against Gene...

Ralf's Girl · 16 Sep 2000, 17:19 (Ref:37524)

Wouldn't dream of it, M-Fan!

Mazzacane = what are those things attached to the sides of my car?

**Bononi** · 16 Sep 2000, 17:56 (Ref:37535)

He had fun ! His dream was to be in front of a 2 WDC champion, in a red car ! Just a few seconds, while his family record that on tape ! Then after 30 years, he will show that to his grandsons : "See ? That's me in front of that German Fellow ! Ok I know you don't understand what the commentator is saying... it's english, he's saying how GREAT I am !"

Silverbabe · 16 Sep 2000, 17:56 (Ref:37536)

I second that ralphs girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

as I said dumb and dumber

LOL at Bon

Toth · 16 Sep 2000, 19:10 (Ref:37544)

Come on Mazzacane isn't that bad. He's doing his laps and gets the car to the finish. Everybody will have forgotten him in a couple of years. Compare that with the Legendary Taki.

And no badmouthing Gene. He's a mighty fine driver.

Silverbabe · 16 Sep 2000, 19:21 (Ref:37548)

Sorry I disagree, he is bloody dangerous

and will cause an accident with one of

the faster drivers when they are overtaking him

RIKB · 16 Sep 2000, 19:27 (Ref:37551)

If I may pick up on an earlier comment here.

Ferrari supply engines to a swiss team and now a French team, whilst their "little brother" is tooling round at the back with an out of date Ford. Now where is the loyalty?

Toth · 16 Sep 2000, 19:28 (Ref:37552)

Who? Gene or Mazzacane.

Gene: No!
Mazzacane: I don't really care, he'll be gone soon. He still IS the worst of the current lot.

Silverbabe · 16 Sep 2000, 19:34 (Ref:37553)

I thought there were always four minardis on the track!!!!!!!!!! Just an illusion I guess
Gene seems like a nice person and so is mazza
so I have read

wodonnell · 16 Sep 2000, 19:35 (Ref:37554)

When I saw the first incident at the chicane it looked to me like Michael backed off. It appeared he was a bit wary of shoving the ferrari alongside the minardi as he wasn't sure what Mazzacane was going to do.

As for Mazzacane weaving on the straight, I think it was a genuine (although a bit silly) mistake. Mazzacane was in the middle of the track as Hakkinen came behind him. A blue flag was waved and Gaston reacted to it by pulling to his left. Hakkinen obviously expected him to go to the right as most people would have done.

He has been pretty poor this year though. Surely Alonso will get the seat in 2001?

Minardi fan · 16 Sep 2000, 21:56 (Ref:37559)

RIKB: Exactly.

Silverbabe: Don't come in mouthing off about Gene. It will get you nowhere in this place.

Wodonnell: I hope we see Alonso and Gene at Minardi next season too.

Silverbabe · 16 Sep 2000, 22:21 (Ref:37567)

touchy minardi fan

Minardi fan · 16 Sep 2000, 22:34 (Ref:37569)

Well wouldn't you be if someone came in bad mouthing your favourite team without any backing-up of their opinions?

Silverbabe · 16 Sep 2000, 22:46 (Ref:37574)

fair comment minardi fan I guess you are right
suitably apologetic
but I did say that they were both nice people,
probably the best on the grid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
am I forgiven????????????

Tip: read carefully the post,
mind your words before posting,
take your time to reply.

C'mon this a free world, but it would be nicer if you don't point your finger on my face...

Silverbabe · 16 Sep 2000, 23:32 (Ref:37580)

silverbabe is to tired to argue
