TGF : Too old for F1, too young to die - retirement is sweet
Im not blindly defending Schumacher, but the Hungarian move against Barrichello, could have been very normal in the 80's and 90's.

Schumacher has shown us enough who he really is and returning to the competition after 3 years is a sacred challenge and i personally applause him for this! What could THE PROFESOR A.Prost do with Ferrari in 1990 and 1991? |

Could not agree more. Certainly not even a shadow of any of the all time greats . As for comparing him to Prost with the Ferrari, as has been said Prost nearly won in that car.... indeed he won 5 races in it in 1990. TGF cant even compete with his junior teamate, who has simply obliterated him this year. Even Schumi resorting to his well known book of dirty tricks cant help him even look reasonably competitive. Frankly he is a waste of a good opportunity for someone on the up rather some fantasy nostalgia trip to satisfy Schumacher's mid-life crisis. Last edited by E.B; 18 Aug 2010 at 23:21. |

I think you need to get your eyes tested. You mean the move Massa tried around the outside right? When Schumacher was already on the racing line? On the entry to the chicane the cars go slow close to the wall that there no room for another car to be on the outside. Right, so he's just meant to jump out the way. Even if Schumacher wasn't there Massa has cocked up his breaking in any case and would have over-shot the chicane. The Kubica incident was even better as Schumacher once again had the racing line (after some arguably strong defence to get on it) and Kubica oppertunistically tried a move down the inside, whilst being way offline. If Schumacher hadn't skipped across the grass then there would have been an accident that would have taken them both out and it wouldn't have been his fault at all, imo. Watch the youtube videos and calm down on the hate. The Rubens move has been his only questionable move of the season, the other moves put equal or more reesponsibility on the other driver Want to see people ignoring blue flags? Have a look at Damon Hill in the Arrows holding up M.S at Japan 97'. That is ignoring blue flags my friend. Last edited by beau1; 18 Aug 2010 at 23:25. |

The Kubica one I wont argue, that was debatable. Wasn't there a 3rd that race? Against Kobayashi or one of the Force Indias? I forget. Quote:

The worst thing I saw in that race was Kubica's rather dangerous cut into the pits right in front of someone, I can't remember whom but I'm surprised that didn't go without punishment. Quote:
I meant questionable in the context of blame for other incidents this season thats all. It wasn't a 50/50 situation like the ones above which you attempted to blame Schumacher for just because he was involved. Agree with the penalty, by the way (in the current context of the sport) but I still don't agree that other incidents haven't been punished [/QUOTE] Quote:

Actually Schum is suffring from a car completely incompatible with his aggressive driving style,you can't blame the 7th world champion ,Schum and Rosberg have very different driving style.He is nearly driving a car built for Button's racing style of the last year,exactly like the Red Bull cars that are driving themselves now. Btw, be less aggressive and more polite when you post your opinion. Last edited by Schumiforeverever; 19 Aug 2010 at 14:16. |

I think that had he stayed in F1, even if it was for a midfield team, he'd have been winning races. Hell, Red Bull had a seat that opened up after 2006, he'd have been in prime position if he had taken it. But he didn't. Because he didn't want to come back. For two and a half years he was content with sitting on the sidelines, winking at the camera here or there. Now he's come back, even with his old buddy's team, the World Champion Constructor, with the best engine in the field. He was handed the keys to the castle. He just flat out isn't up to it. Nico Rosberg, while not complete toss, isn't a superstar. He was mediocre more often than not at Williams, now he's beating the black off Schumacher.(probably not the best euphemism, but I digress) He's taken to this car quite well. Had they kept the car they started out with, who knows? He might have knicked a few more podiums and maybe even a race win. |

Didn't Senna get castigated (rightly) for pulling a similar move on Prost. So no it wasn't normal back then either.

The F1 is a jungle and with that move Schumi shown us that he hasn't changed,he still is the wild fighter we love. Too many words for nothing,the guy wrote the history revolutionized the F1, beating all records and it easily could attract a lot of jealousy. |
