| BHPian  | Guys Guys... its not a Schumi vs everyone else thread. Lets not take it there, We are welcoming the King to the Ring oops the track. Pilotoons has one already that I posted in the other thread, here it is again. This from TSN: Imagine the interviews in the Thursday press conference: "So what upgrades have you brought to Valencia? Brawn GP: "New aero package for the car" McLaren: "Improved diffuser and new front wing" Ferrari: "Michael Schumacher"   |

Now I wud expect you to cry about his tactic in Monaco 2006. He was punished there as well and started from the pit lane to lose awful number of points. Get over it and have some good sleep! Michael is a great sportsman and he has won 7 World Championship & 91 Wins which is not easy job! And many hate him for the same reason. | |

| Actually, its a little unresonable to expect the results many of you are from a guy who hasn't raced in nearly three years. Adding to that, he can only drive as fast as that Ferrari will go. F1 is 70% car and 30% driver (well give or take a bit). If you ask me, Hungary, like Monaco, was an exception where McLaren and Ferrari did well because of the tight twisty nature of the circuit with few high speed corners. Ferrari are nowhere near the front at the moment. I expect the Red Bull to be much quicker in Valencia and since the temperatures are higher there, Brawn should also emerge back in front. Realistically, a Schumi win could occur in the rain or if Ferrari find a magic update. Oh and anachronix, he did crash into Hill for his '94 championship similar to the incident with Villeneuve not to mention other controversy including whether a traction control device was on the Ferrari when it was illegal. Factual correction only, because I actually like seeing a guy willing to do anything to win. Those who play by the rules end up with little reward. Those who bend the rules as far as they can (and sometimes break it too) are the ones who win. That's life  Last edited by McLaren Rulez : 31st July 2009 at 15:26. |

The driver does have a major role, otherwise two cars from the same stable should perform far more closely that they do. | |

These guys are sharp, they keep the favorite channels in separate packages so your forced to opt for both. Btw, is MotoGP also aired on Starsports? If yes, then will disable ten sports and get the ESPN/Star Sports package. | |

I am not losing any sleep over MS. Neither am I am looking to ruffle up the Tifosi / Schumi feathers. So request that none of you take this personally.All I am saying is the man had his shortcomings. While I agree with most of what you said. I personally dont fully agree with the term Sportsman yet.. Quote:
Would love to see the same Schumi as we saw in the TG interview on the Race Track. I do respect the Man. Afterall like I said in my earlier post: He is the best driver in the world and we were fortunate to see him in the prime of his career. 20 days to go...

Schumi did it. Quote:
If Micheal does it or blocks a guys its a big No, No. If someone deliberately slows down on the racing lane and takes out Micheal its allright ? See this please. well that's life, ain't it ? EDIT : If anyone has "doubts" whats Micheal is capable of, this is for you. 1994 was in Spain. Schumi was stuck in 5th gear for more than 40 laps, and still he finished second only to Hill. I'd say he can drive more that 30%. right ? Last edited by yzfrj : 31st July 2009 at 17:13. | ||

Remember his charges of Renault sabotaging his champinionship chances in 2006. Calling Schumacher as the biggest cheat in F1. Or his rants for not being given the NUMBER 1 treatment at McLaren....... At the same time I remember when the engine of Schumi's Ferrari blew up in Japan in 2006, he was seen cheering and consoling his team. Some of his tricks on track were out of the way but he never targeted anyone personally outside. Thats why Alonso became champinion, but still comes nowhere near to Schumi inspite of beating him twice. P.S. - Addy, not trying to oppose or contradict your words, just expressing my views on Alonso in comparison with the great Schumacher. | |
