Schumacher will be fast this year, you saw it here first :-)

Hehe nice to see the banter is still alive in this forum.

Schumacher looked strong yesterday, missed the start of the race as I was in QLD and time difference threw me, of course he retired 10 seconds after I walked into the pub, so it was my fault, I should have just waited until I got back to Melbourne and watched the recording.

Bud I still follow Scumi but I have turned into a closet Button fan. I just love the way he's gotten the team around him last year over Hamilton, and since Whitmarsh took the reins Im starting to like McLaren as well

It's funny since Schumi has been at Mercedes I'm starting to like him too lets be friends

After the good qualy performance I was expecting an awesome race from Schumacher.. too bad his car betrayed him

He hasn't "allowed" anything; Nico is faster.

Who's qualified 4th and who's qualified 7th?

As I said before, Nico made a mistake on his lap. Did you not see his lock-up?

No, didn't see it but I'm restricted to the BBC's coverage.

Shame you're restricted to the BBC coverage, mate; it means you miss a lot of facts. :/

Indeed, us lot that don't have Sky are going to miss a lot but that's the way it is unfortunately.

Not at all. Turns out us BBC viewers miss very little actually.

I wrote that before the race but after the woeful attempt at covering the qualifying session.

[LewEngBridewell]

I didn't think qualifying was too bad tbh. Didn't seem to miss much... only a few laps at the beginning of each session, which is usually where a HRT or a Marussia just trickle slowly around.

Lol yeah even with the team around him he still can't figure out how to drive the car quickly. 0-7 to Hamilton in qual so far, not too shabby for Mr Nice Guy.

7 championships v 1 championship with a pal pulling over to let you past.

Show some respect.

He was always doomed once Hamilton sorted his head out. Still, I grew so much distaste for Hamilton blaming everyone but himself for his mistakes it was a pleasure to see Button get one up on him, regardless of how he did it

Haha fair enough...similar to my perspective of the Merc pair actually and the fact Rosberg is doing so well, I never liked Schumacher in his Ferrari days though he was a hell of a driver and caused endless problems for my dream pairing at the time at McLaren.

He had a habit of doing that ;p

What was your dream pairing?

[Hammer278]

The last dream pairings McLaren had - DC/Mika and DC/Kimi.

Then it all went to hell. I found myself supporting only 1 side of the garage since then.

Ah of course, DC & Kimi, how could I forget? Couldn't have two more polar opposites driving lol.

I was expecting you to say Prost/Senna or Hamilton/Alonso. If only they managed those personalities they would have been a force to be reckoned with.
