I'm with you all the way, but you can't take away the fact that he started 22nd and finished 5th - at Monaco too!

Mind you with his reputation I am not suprised, I would certainly be moving out of his way, before I am sunted out the way!! |

I view Schumacher the same way I looked at Senna. Never a shred of doubt about their talent as racing drivers, its the content of their character as men that I've always questioned. You can win a hell of alot of races and championships, and make millions along the way, but how are you going to be remembered? These two fall a long way down my list of all time greats.

Compared to Rossi - genius on a bike, multiple world champion, and a pretty nice bloke too. Except if your name is Max and you have a penchant for daft facial hair...

Flawed character without a doubt, I've actually met him and had a bit of a lengthy chat, too. Very charming, nice bloke. Just a huge shame about the brain storms. why oh why?

Maybe if the British drivers were a bit more ruthless like schumi they would have a chance of winning too?  ? |

Enzo, why would you want to condone cheating, its not ruthless, its just downright cheating, the guy should be banned for life ?
Just once, I'd like to see someone wipe the smirk from that elongated chin, just once.

I've never considered deliberately colliding with your opponents, or swerving at a driver trying to pass you, or stopping on the circuit to screw up your oppositions qualifying efforts ruthless. Its called being a immature, undignified asshole who doesn't give a sh*t about his colleagues or the integrity of his chosen sport.

I don't condone cheating I'm just saying a ruthless streak sometimes gets results Senna is never mention in the same way as schumi yet he would have driven over his own mother to win a grand prix, The british nation as a whole are to good at there sporting manners and sense of fair play push the limits push the rules to breaking point.
just like maradona teehee!!!!

I notice that Enzo just scored 9 out of 10 on the DR quiz. Mind you, it did take him four hundred and twenty something seconds.
Enzo, I wonder if you were cheating, sorry, being more ruthless than everyone else and Googling for the answers?

ha you get 9 but come bottom cause you take the full 24 hours the quiz is up to answer. You can't beat blatant guess work, that motto has kept me employed all my working life  |

Enzo,
Actually Senna gets mentioned a lot in the same manner as Schumacher. Most experts believe that Senna is largely responsible for the crap we see from the current crop of drivers. If the FIA and the teams he drove for had put Senna's balls in a vice when he first started driving like a jerk then the younger drivers who saw him getting away with it would have had to behave differently (read: Schumacher) As far as I'm concerned both Senna and Schumacher are (or in Senna's case was) total assholes. Both have done more damage to the sport than good.
