marcus said:Pat, I agree.
There can`t be any serious discussions about things like Monaco 06 and some other things which you must strongly disapprove.
On the other hand it seems a bit too simple just to call it all "cheating" whenever he became WC.
Anyway, speaking of Teutonic wonderboys, have a look at those guys

What about the 1994 Benneton (Sp?) team using traction control?
It's been widely speculated and confirmed that their engine mapping
allowed for this to occur. Thanks!

marcus said:"That will go well with his new book "It doesn't matter if you cheat as long as you win""
Now if that`s your proposal for an upcoming book then it should rather become an encyclopedia written by almost all teams and drivers in F1 history.
But then following your logic, compared to Schumi all other drivers and teams were not only 2nd class in driving but cheating as well.
(I personally don`t like Schumi at all but no one can seriously believe that you become 7 times WC simply by cheating...)
BTW, some masterpieces of that "cheating" were done with and by a team that is nowadays so cheerished when Alonso drove for it last season. Coincidentally, it still has the same principal...
Pete said:Marcus, I think most Grand Prix teams do as much as they can to push the envelope as far as they can "within the rules". Is it cheating? Some would say that ethically it is, others would say it is only cheating if you get caught.
BTW
I have never detracted from Schumacher's ability as a driver, I think he is one of the greats. It is a pity that his "win at all cost" attitude detracts from his success.
