Mosley has been talking late last week about the effect Hamilton will have in 2008 and likened it to the negative effect during the later Shumacher years as crowds dwindled. This is in contrast to Bernie who likened LH as being 'mannah from heaven'
when compared with Alonso and Raikonnen, both of who never really bring anything to bernies weekend F1 parties for the rich.
Speaking to the BBC on the programme Hardtalk Max Mosley has said Lewis Hamilton could have a negative effect on F1 if he is as successful next year as he was in 2007. He went on "If he does the same thing next season as he's done this season, it will certainly have a big effect. It will start to be negative because we'll get the Schumacher effect where people start writing to me saying can't you do something to slow him down." LH has helped to raised the F1 profile in the UK, but Mosley says LH's part in it has been exaggerated. and went on to say "He's also got a lot of interest world-wide because he's not come from a rich background. He's just made it. There is always somebody new. If it wasn't him it would be either Rosberg or Kubica or one of the other new stars, a Vettel, would suddenly be the big one, so I think there is a tendency to exaggerate the importance of Lewis Hamilton."

All these Swiss F1 residents are the same. Selfish.

Is there a Schumacher Strasse in Erpen ? Probably not - in case there is some confusion with Ralf saying it's in his name.
