Suman you gotto hand it to the anti-schumi fans .... they will never learn to appreciate

madhav · 7th August 2006, 17:03

Khaadu and Suman, I'm a schumi and ferrari hater myself... I know the kind of nasty things that they've done and don't like them one bit. Schumi is a good and lucky driver and he has won titles... but he does not rank among the great drivers in my book. In yesterday's race he just earned a lil bit of my respect by trying to race than try to get close his gap with Alonso so that he it will be easier for the championship... I loved this race for that reason!

PS: See my profile photo...it is a McLaren and have you ever met McLaren fan who likes Schumi??

Everything around us can be appreciated its just people should know how to pick up things which needs appreciation no matter who, where and what it is.

In few days time im gonna come with a thread listing few all time great drivers (and whom I feel needs APPRECIATION) choose them and state a reason why you choosing them. And some brains over flowing with extra F1 knowledge, are welcome to comment each and every driver.
So all the people start googling if you all dont know that an era existed before Schumacher - Hakkinen and Senna - Prost Eras
I know a similar thread exists. But that will be added with more spice.

How come no one said anything about Button and the other 2 winners (okok the Honda fanatics did ) .....but each and every race discussion ends up like this one - Schumi Lovers v/s Schumi Haters. And it goes on and on and on and on......................so all you guys hold on till Turkey now.

Now that this season is turing to be one helluva thriller, with only a few more races to go and just 10 and 11 points saperating the constructors and drivers championships, its gonna be a tight one.

Now it would probably be just GO! for FA and MS, no backing out or taking it easy anymore especially as the latter has nothing to lose. Ferrari looked very strong, but IF it rains, Renault are clearly way ahead. Anyways, should be very good to watch.

ess_a · 19th August 2006, 00:15

Well you wont say Renault is way ahead if it rains, if you had watched the last 20 laps or so from the CHAMP... I tell you this no matter what Schumi is gonna kick Alonso's b**t, hard, really hard. It will be a TURKEY party in Istanbul for Ferrari!!!
Well no offence to any of FA's fans, its just that for me Schumi RULES....

karthik247 · 19th August 2006, 00:19

One the track dries out, them its Ferrari but otherwise the Bridgestone tyres can't hold on in the wet conditions.

ess_a · 19th August 2006, 00:28

I guess three weeks was enough time for the BRidgestone guys to wake up!!!! hope to see them performing well in Istanbul... Cant wait for schumi to reduce the championship points gap further....

aZa · 19th August 2006, 00:34

Yep if it rains then Renault or Honda are Strong otherwise its gotta be schmuck.
