F1 without Schummy?

[two40]

i can't help but think that F1 without Michael S would be a little bit more exciting even though he has so many fans and is a freak. without him we can at least get to see a bit of variety on the podium.

what do you think? looking forward to his retirement or are you dreading the day...

[chaos]

hes the best

They try to change the rules to stop him from dominating but yeh hes the best there is. People pay to see him so without him the F1 may lose money. He doesnt always win and there is competition out there for him they just gotta get that bit better. He started to dominate when Mika Hakkien retired, he was his only real competition besides his team mate Rubens Barrichelo

[two40]

i doubt f1 will loose money when he retires. even if they do, it will be negligable

by 'they gotta get that bit better' do you mean they have to spend that extra million or ten? lol

[chaos]

lol not money wise just driving i mean a lot of the guys today were making those small mistakes and he was perfect

[Duncan]

ahh, all Aussie like to see a tall poppy cut down, don't they. That's why I back anyone but schumi

if you don't mean it....

hes the best

don't say it. lol

dundan, we sure do suffer from that poppy disease but to be honest with you, f1 would do a lot better if they'd get rid of him and let me drive for the ferrari team.

they never listen though.

[chaos]

no no not that part that people pay to see him

i meant the other teams dont need to pay more money to beat him just to sort out the little problems and driving that slowed them

roflol

let's just sweep this one under the carpet and move on shall we...

we shouldnt blame someone for being good or better then the rest. and honestly, he derserves it. He is so devoted to ferrari, helping them change so much to the team they are now. Not only that, but he works so hard off the race track, keeping fit more then anyone else in f1. Basically he is as devoted as u can be. He deserves to b top.

Dont think though he will be unbeatable. Far from it. This season will be the closest id say, and it will be hard for ferrari and schuey to win again.

[chaos]

he'll be at the top though

The way he races pushing his car to its limits it willbe hard to stop him though

[two40]

enrico, no one is blaming him for being a freaky talent. i just proposed a scenario and everyone seems to think i hate the bloke. lol. he's my fav driver after webber.

what a dominating victory by ferrari. preview of the season ahead?

Interesting to read this thread after watching today's race :Oops:

I sure hope not. Close racing is good racing.

[PRO_32]

I sure hope not. Close racing is good racing.

Still You gotta think that we are witnessing history in the making with shummy dominating so thouroughly for this long with no sign of letting up His statistics are pretty impressive, And seem to be only rising further and further apart from those of past greats.

things will change guys, as the bridgestones are ferraris weakest link. The conditions today favoured them hugely. Dont expect this too happen too much thou in the future. However was a very impressive race by ferrari. I cant believe how crap Mclaren wer. Even DC at the end was askin the channel 10 commentator if they had any ideas cos Mclaren have none. Alonso was excellent as was Button. Wish he finished ahead of montoya aswell.

[PRO_32]

dissapointed kimi lucked out with engine fail..

Any idea what happened to webber's car???

Mclaren sucks ass anyway:P

[blx]

It is just a shame that it is so biased. It would be alot better if there cars were of a more equal set up. I think it would then put the presure back on the drivers. Watching it today was a bit boring because ferrai just whopped and no one even looked close!

But seriously F1 without Shuemacker (I can't spell) is like basketball without Jordan! I know i lost interest once he retired...

[two40]

Any idea what happened to webber's car???

lost 6th and 7th gear

[Kaido_RR]

i say that it is as much the car as it is the driver, i think that if he wasnt driving the might horse that he wouldnt be winning as much

p.s i could be wrong

[EnricoPalazzo]

i think u guys over estimate ferraris package, and ill say this again. u are only as strong as ur weakest link, this being their tyres. And today they wer lucky that the weather suited them. All last year ferrari struggled due to the tyres. They have obviouslt worked really hard on the car however im sure that they tyres will let them down again.
