Schumacher should know better

"I am very disappointed for Jos," Schumacher said when asked about his Dutch friend.

"Probably it's better to not be employed by a boss with a reputation such as he has for throwing drivers out.

"He (Verstappen) didn't really enjoy it at the end of this situation. I believe he now has some very interesting new opportunities and I hope they come true for him."

Is this the same Schumacher that kicked "Pupo" Moreno out of Benetton in 91? He should know that feelings are not a consideration when deciding who is going to drive for whom.

Well, Schumacher has friends BBking - something you obviously dont otherwise you'd understand he's simply supporting a friend of his the only way he can. But guess you need brains to figure that out...

As for Benetton - Moreno who ?

BBKing · 28 Feb 2002, 17:57 (Ref:224582)

Verstappen who?...LOL
Same thing don't you think?

BBKing · 28 Feb 2002, 18:03 (Ref:224585)

Plus you smart... person (LOL) my point of this topic about how unimportant are feelings (frindship is a feeling in case you did not know) when it comes to decide who drives for whom. Get it?....LOL

Mania · 28 Feb 2002, 18:20 (Ref:224602)

You should lose the ridiculous "LOL" **** since it just makes you sound more like a 12 year old kid who lives and breathes in chat rooms.(or maybe thats what you really are - who kknows - who cares )

That aside, Schumacher is saying what any good friend would say. Pretty uncomplicated and simple but like I said you need brains dude

facco · 28 Feb 2002, 18:22 (Ref:224605)

Well, at the end of the season we'll see if HHF was the right choice over Jos.
This is motorSport but, it's a business, and you got no friends while in business. HARD BUT TRUE

A wee bit of politeness would be a nice way to start off the season folks. (and by the way, just what does lol stand for, always thought it was lord o lord.?)

BBKing · 28 Feb 2002, 18:28 (Ref:224613)

I will leave to the smart... person the petty name calling. People find dificult to disagree when they too much brains...LOL

facco · 28 Feb 2002, 18:32 (Ref:224616)

djb, if you tell me what djb stands for, I'll tell you what LOL stands for.

I thought it meant "Laugh Out Loud", its like bad Borscht Belt comics laughing at their own jokes.

I agree with Mania in that Its merely TGF sticking up for his friend.

Hey, I've got an idea, Ferrari should dump Barrichello and hire Jos...

facco · 28 Feb 2002, 20:35 (Ref:224712)

hmmmmm Eric, you ruin my LOL moments....

Speed · 28 Feb 2002, 21:47 (Ref:224735)

LOL stands for Laughing On Line.

I don't think you're 12 years old, BBKing, just for using LOL in your posts. I know mature people who uses a lot. It's like using ten-tenths' smiling faces.

BBKing · 28 Feb 2002, 21:55 (Ref:224752)

NO problem speed. 12 year old forums are not my fav hang out places so I am not worry about it.

About the LOLs. There was a Forum where ...LOL would be replaced for an image of a man that was laughing on the floor. I got used to it....LOL

I don't see anything wrong in what Schumacher said. All I am saying is that he should know that in F1 feelings don't count.

paulzinho · 28 Feb 2002, 21:56 (Ref:224753)

I was told it meant laugh out loud!

Anyway some politeness wouldn't go amiss, but thats already been said!

Valve Bounce · 28 Feb 2002, 22:36 (Ref:224809)

I thought LOL meant laughing out loud

when used on forum discussions at jokes or when someone is pulling my leg.

I personally like to keep things light in this forum, hence some of my lighter posts like using vegemite on the piston rings.

Perhaps if we talk to each other here as if we were trying to be polite to a stranger (and most of us here are to some extent strangers) then things will always go well and we avoid misunderstandings. Of course I am well aware of some inthis forum that actually go to race meets together, and they communicate with a totally different understanding of each other because they know each other. And I hate long winded posts that more or less say nothing, just like this one.

And this came from chatting rooms, where everybody was On-line at the same time..., different to this kind of Forums, where sometimes we talk to a Server, and replies come next business day.

Yeah I had that idea too. And I had another one in another thread too. (but been adminished for both)

Lol means fun in dutch

"Probably it's better to not be employed by a boss with a reputation such as he has for throwing drivers out. "

Does this mean TGF thinks his career would gone in a better way if EJ didn't 'throw him out' in '91?
