Schumi's 300th event at Spa!

Postby Nin-Chin » 04 Aug 12, 14:47

Lots of milestones at Spa but it will be his 299th start, so just like Barrichello 300th weekend at Spa

Not something i'd get excited by tbh.
Great acheivement i suppose but wish he'd give he's seat up
at merc to a younger, faster, hungrier driver. Winning titles with ferrari, those days were a borefest.

There was nothing boring about Schumachers glorious winning years. :cloud9:

It would be amazing if he won in Spa but unless Merc have decided to turn up with a decent car it sadly ain't going to happen.

Button, Whitmarsh, McLaren, Lauda, Anderson, Pirelli, Brundle, Stewart, Michael.....anyone else?

:rofl: Very true.

Hopefully it'll be a more successful race for him than his debut there, all the way back in 1991. Looking at the way things have been going for him in 2012, I wouldn't be too sure...

He goes very well at Spa, and if it's a race with mixed conditions we might see him on the podium again. Problem is, the first two spots are already reserved for Lewis and Kimi, in which order I can't tell yet. :twisted:

Yep, those first two spots immediately behind the winner Fernando, and runner-up Felipe, can be filled by the Maccas as far as I'm concerned :D

Just on a technicality, it will be Shumi's 300th event but, assuming he races, it will be his 299th GP race. At 1996 French GP his engine blew on the formation lap so technically he didn't start the race and it was recorded that way. He was on pole I think for that race.

OK OK, even I admit the Massa bit is far fetched based on his performance, but, you know I'm Ferrari through and through and I do like the guy and would love to see him have a good result again. :cloud9:
