Old Tire mark thread

Digital Man · 2 Oct 2003, 20:50 (Ref:739121)

Has anyone figured out whose car (or what entity) applied the tire scrub to Schumacher's left side during the USGP?

I was there, but I didn't do it.

Inigo Montoya · 2 Oct 2003, 20:52 (Ref:739102)

It was from a brush with the curb after tangling with Coulthard. Schummi appeared a bit angry about it after the race.

Oh, and, welcome to ten tenths!! You will like it here.

Digital Man · 2 Oct 2003, 20:56 (Ref:739122)

Thanks, I.M.

On approximately what lap did this happen?

Kicking-back · 2 Oct 2003, 21:08 (Ref:739116)

Pity DC didn't hit him a bit harder

And face a penalty?

DC dare not, Uncle Ron would be 'SO CROSS'.

Perhapps it is the warm up for Suzuka where he'll do the job properly???????????

Jordi · 2 Oct 2003, 21:38 (Ref:739107)

DC still has a chance to hit him harder

Jordi · 2 Oct 2003, 21:39 (Ref:739108)

Seems like it's many's wish!

I don't think that DC will get close enough to Michael in Japan to do any damage. (unless of course, Michael comes up to lap him

)

On topic. When did this contact with DC occur. It was quite a tyre mark on his car and I am suprised nothing more has been made of it.

Obviously not a major incident, but possibly worth note.

**Adam43** · 2 Oct 2003, 22:03 (Ref:739104)

here is a picture of the mark:

I bet the other Ferrari had a similar mark as well!

Wrex · 3 Oct 2003, 01:49 (Ref:739101)

How ironic that some of those most critical of Jerez are suggesting DC should ram another competitor off the track.

The hypocricy of sone of the members on this forum amaze me.

While not a fan of DC, I think he has too much class for such a deliberate move. He also does'nt mind mixing it with Michael, and is one of the few to go wheel to wheel with him without major contact.

Does anyone know when in the race this occured?

GTV27 · 3 Oct 2003, 02:49 (Ref:739114)

He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword - many would view it at rough justice.

I'd like him to win or be beaten fair and square, but Jerez (and Adelaide) means the spectre of this will always hang over him.

I believe it happened the other way around, David closed the door, Michael hit the curb and they touched. Not sure, but I believe it was lap 5-7 or so, when Michael lost quite a few seconds.

PS: Oh yes, for the other subject of the thread.

Redlake27 · 3 Oct 2003, 07:40 (Ref:739110)

I'm surprised the mark isn't much longer.

The speed differential between MS and DC in that race was about 500mph......even the briefest touch would have resulted in a ten metre skidmark.

jonathanc · 3 Oct 2003, 07:53 (Ref:739115)

MS has had it coming for years. He's owed a few nudges. Just hoping it will happen in spectacular fashion in Japan and keep him out of the points.

ASCII Man · 3 Oct 2003, 07:55 (Ref:739112)

At first i thought the skidmark was because he hit Barrichello or something, but then shortly after i heard that it was Monty.

And despite the fact that i wouldn't mind seeing TGF being rammed off the road for a change, i would rather see him beaten fair and square on the track.

How do you know it didn't?

Redlake27 · 3 Oct 2003, 08:30 (Ref:739111)

Peter. Lets hope the championship tie break rules don't end in an underwear comparison test.

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Oct 2003, 08:35 (Ref:739099)

Well the championship results have been known to "stink" in the past.

Kicking-back · 3 Oct 2003, 09:53 (Ref:739117)

I'm not seriously suggesting DC takes him out. It's just that Schumacher himself is prepared to cross the line and make dirty moves, yet when anyone doesn't jump out of the way for him he always has to make some comment about it.

500 mph only if both where going full speed in opposite directions. More likely side by side and only a few miles an hour difference?

Hey, cliche time: 2 wrongs don't make a right!

So what is this thread? A new member comes here and asks a question. A reasonably interesting question? Except no one can answer! All that is suggested is that DC should have taken a competitor out and this would have been justified because it can be an excuse to turn it into a Jerez thread. It is mildly relevant, I suppose, but come on.

I share Wrex's disapointment here.

thread closed.

As it is quite interesting I've kept the thread going for the new member: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=44620
