I guess you would think it would be OK that he would walk down the grid and puncture everyones tires?

Schumacher's is better in cars than in karts. He used to practise a lot together with Jos Verstappen and Verstappen was around 0.2 and 0.3 seconds quicker.
Hell, even my teammate beat him at world championships at his home track in the late eighties and became World Championship. His name is Frank Eglem, but he never made it really into cars. Other famous names from that generations were Frentzen, Jason Plato and Mike Hezemans.

I rate Fangio and Nuvolari higher.

Some facts:
144 days to the next race.
Alonso wants three titles to equal Senna.
Coulthard had a crap year and says he's glad it's over.
Big Ron never got a podium this year.
FIA now stands for "Ferrari International Assistance"
Vettel will get a race next year and will go on to dominate F1 (IMHO)
Renault did the business this year.
Sato with the Super Aguri was brilliant at Interlagos, in spite of the results.
Michelin did the business this year.
and just to drive it home:
Renault did the business this year with - Pat Symonds.

I rate Fangio and Nuvolari higher.

...everyone at his time....

Pete. · 10-24-06, 07:07 AM

Senna, Clark, Brabham, Moss, Fangio, Carriciola, Nuvolari and many more. I don't think you can compare from different era's. All were great in their time, as is Schumi.
A great talent who's win at any cost attitude diminishes his achievements.

David, Di and I just booked for Monaco next year look forward to catching up again and celebrating Fernando's victory.

David Morton · 10-25-06, 01:31 PM

Pete,
I am hoping to be in Melbourne in 2007 for the race - just for fun.
I'll get back to you in a few weeks with some travel plans etc.

Renaults tribute to us Brits ( who really built the French cars ) Turn up the sound - its for real ! pics.eggs-world.com - a place to put funny pictures and stuff

I wonder how long it takes to program that rev sequence into the computer?
Very cool stuff.

David, good stuff we will give Pete's bar a huge nudge.

Imola was officially cancelled by Ecclestone today.
Oh well.....

Rick Muck- Mark IV · 10-26-06, 08:05 PM

Frank,

Why would they want to play "My Country 'Tis of Thee"?????

Just like the language, shared but different!

Probably a quarter million worth of time to program that number.......If top flight teams only spend HALF of what is published, it still boggles MY mind!

Here is a view on Schumacher and F1 that appeared in Investor's Business Daily on Tuesday of this week. I would have to say that F1 was a lot more interesting in the past when championships came down to the last races of the season.

Schumacher’s Drive Placed Him In The Lead

No way to send Fisichella to Abu Grahib or Guantanamo?

Think I can start a new petition online against him...

David Morton · 11-09-06, 02:19 PM

On the FOSA (F1 Suppaorters Association) website 97% voted to listen to the race commentaries on Radio 5 Live instead of the drivel (my opinion) dished out by ITV's James Allen. If you are interested in change, go to the ITV F1 website and when it offers 'ask the team' or some such, just post the question "when will you sack James Allen".............

David Morton · 11-17-06, 05:33 AM

F1 engines to run on Peanut oil from 2011.

Scott Calabro · 11-17-06, 07:31 AM

Wow ..........655 posts. I think I can clear up the entire situation with four words. Ready ?.........BRING BACK GROUP SEVEN !!

Scott Calabro · 11-17-06, 07:45 AM

I think I forgot four other words......... "No Rules....Just Right!"

Keith Hardy · 11-17-06, 08:55 AM

As a matter of interest Dave, I notice that James Allen does raise ire in some people but he bothers me not. What is it about him or his delivery which excites such negativity?

The guy I would want to see banned from commentating on motorsport is Carlton Kirby, him of Motors TV fame and a bigger twat you'll never hear. Up against him, I reckon James Allen is like Richard Dimbleby...

C'mon Dave, what's with JA?

PS F1 to smell like a McDonalds? Cool....

Ian Anderson · 11-17-06, 09:11 AM

So how many people are allergic to Peanuts?

Now it will be suing season when peanut oil vapour comes in contact and causes problems. Just as well Bernie is rich medical costs could be high
