Every sportsman have their short comings, UPs & DOWNs. It doesnt mean that you always hold on to it all the way and all his life! That is why I say Get over it without losing much sleep. All these sportsman learn the right way of winning only when they face heavy punishments, which I beleive it did work for Michael. He is now the best! @Mclaren_Rulez, are you completely aware of the incident in 1994? Both Michael & Hill were trading the fastest laps for the day in their fight for the championship. BothMichael & Hill were squeazing every bit of time they could gain on the track. Michael collided with the wall losing control and Hill tried to sneak past him on the inside just to get his car damaged only to retire! But, nothing was as dirty as the one DC did in Spa! Driving an F1 car and he was unaware that he shouldnt brake hard on the racing line in a completely wet Spa. Yeah and Mclaren won their last WCC in 1998 which was 11 years back  !Last edited by anachronix : 31st July 2009 at 17:47. | |

Anyway I was about to call TSKY and cancel the Star sports/ESPN package, not any more. I was getting irritated with the ESPN as they have become a fulltime Golf channel. Golf may be a good game(personally dont like that game), but watching golf live is ... | |

People say Michael is a ruthless driver and all that. Its simply so unfair, Micheal has been taken out and has been at the receiving end of some "crazy" driving by other drivers. Belgian GP 1995 Schumi on slick tyre Hill on wet tyre. This is a text book example of defensive driving without being ruthless. This is fair ? both were doing close to 200mph Here are lots and lots of examples in a single clip | |

, they were just races.For some guys, F1 is just a sport = F1 is not fun presently But For Schumi, F1 was his life and he was damn serious about his races = Why do you guys think, the excitement has increased 100000 times by just hearing about his return. If Schumi was'nt ruthless, he would'nt have excelled, and grown to this stature. Last edited by PAVAN KADAM : 31st July 2009 at 20:21. | |

 He had such a bond with his team and even the mechanics that he's referred to them many times as his "family". He made sure, he gave his 100% in every race. This was very evident in his last season with the team when he had a below-par car yet, he managed to eke out performance from it. | |

 Only a roaring Ferrari engine in distress can wake the giant out of his sleep. Good he paid heed to Ferrari's request, that itself is enough to show his bonding with the Ferrari's. Else, Schumi out of retirement----- NO CHANCE | |

And in case anybody wants, read my previous posts on this thread. Not one actually is critical of Schumacher. The questions I ask about whether he has sufficient time to get his fitness and familiarity with F1 back to normal is genuine but I get a load of " you don't know what you're talking about, Schumi is god disguised as a driver...". As for those who dare actually criticize him, they get some angry, sarcastic and patronising responses. Can you fans accept any criticism or questioning at all or are we supposed to believe that he's the embodiment of all the good in the world who can never do wrong?

According to the rules in season testing isn't allowed. So they are letting Schumacher test using the 2007 F1 car that Ferrari let their clients use to get kicks. Also some testing photos showed the car on Bridgestone slicks which has the FIA in a tizzy. Check out the complete news Schumacher back behind the wheel at Mugello - Pics added - F1Fever - Indian Formula-1 Community | |
