How can you say that you "haven't really been a fan until this season", but can comment on the career of M Schumacher? I think i've missed 4 Grand Prix races over the past 15 years. Some of Schumachers tactics have been disgusting, & some so called lesser drivers would have been disqualified for doing the things that he has done.

This is the main reason that a lot of people didn't want him to win. If you want to know more about the more controversial moments (1994 - Schumacher drives into Damon Hill & wins the title by 1 point. 1997 - Schumacher tryed to put Jacque Villeneuve into the wall, in an attempt to win the title.) of the Schumacher career, there is a program on tonight. Driven to win, ITV1, 11pm.

I do agree that he is a fantastic driver, especially in the wet. I just feel that, some of his achievements have been overshadowed by his silly antics.

This is a team sport ,you can have the best driver in the world but if you dont have the car under you or the team your going to win diddly .

Exactly. How many times did the Ferrari number 2 driver help Schumacher win the title?

thats my point

ayrton senna alain prost nor fangio

neither of them said ok u move over cause i'm more important than u so i have to win

i really felt sorry for irvine and barrichello - fair enough they sorta expected it when joinin ferrari but not for it to b htis bad...

from seein what he was doin the rest of f1 started doin that too in order to compete for the p1 position

Yeah,don't know how they would police it, but team orders should not be allowed.If Shumacher would have been in second place yesterday it would have been intresting.Does Massa let him past for a win on his last race or do they let the Brazillian win his home Grand Prix?Or even more intresting if Alonso hadn't finished the race.

If Schumacher was behind Massa, there's no doubt in my mind, that Massa would have let him past.

well they get past the whole team orders by sayin the drivers are totally independant ad know what they have to do for the good of the team

thus by not actually sayin move over thus incriminating themselves

mthead · 27-10-2006, 12:40

Wonder what would happen if it was changed to one driver,one car per team?I know it wont happen but it would make things interesting

AccyJay · 27-10-2006, 12:44

It would be veery good. What really annoy's me ............. is that if M Schumaker really wanted to go down in history as the greatest driver ever, then he should have drove for free for a season at a small team.

That would be great for them, and great for the sport.

mthead · 27-10-2006, 12:52

Yes it would prove who is actually the best driver,because no one will be moving over to let someone pass unless they were getting lapped.

AccyJay · 27-10-2006, 12:58

It would be a good way to give something back to the sport. His experience alone would be invaluable to a team like Midlands F1. Footballers do it at the end of their careers, helping morale at smaller teams. Their youth players learn directly from the greater players. So why not in F1?

Thats a good point jay. I think he might become a team manager.
