Schumacher kept getting taken out by Hill. That's all there is to it.

LOL Those two occasions were more Hill taking too big a risk than driving into him on purpose.

1994 I still think is 50/50.

I was hoping to cause some trouble but Tex and RA were too busy squabbling with each other. Schumacher did take plenty of people out imo but generally only people who were stupid enough to put their cars in a vulnerable position (with the exception of JV in 1997). Messers Hakkinen, Alonso and Raikkonen knew how to deal with Schumacher when it came to the crunch which is why i consider them to be Schumacher's only truly worthy adversaries.

Alonso and Raikkonen didn't need to put their cars anywhere when Schumacher parked out on the track at Monaco though.

Great Britian and Italy right? GB was just a poorly judged move, in Italy i don't think that accident would have happened if the backmarker wasn't there. The key words are 'on purpose' though, and we all reasonably know what happened in the convtraversal incidents throughout his career.

Anyway....

Looking forward to Spa, they're both very good around there. I had someone try to tell me that MS has the edge around there simply because Kimi crashed in the changeable conditions last year, didn't realise it was as simple as that!

:S He mentioned him.

I think Kimi is just genuinely faster than MS when he's absolutely on it but he never is these days. Schumacher always had a way of getting results even when stuff wasn't going his way so at Spa, even if Kimi is somewhere near top form, Schumacher will give him trouble

Whoops

Dyslexic moment i applogize Giles.

do you deny there was such an incident with mr whiter than white schumacker, if not then why defend him for something me/you/him/and everybody else knows is the truth and he is more than capable of repeating???

I would like a clarification of the bolded section please. What does he being white have to do with this in any way? I'm beginning to see what axe it is you are grinding here, and this is not the forum for it.

I think he means that he isn't as innocent as some of his fans would have you believe.

Exactly, it`s maybe a phrase we only tend to use across here and nothing to do with skin colour etc

Raikkonen, because he has been at it for the last two and a half years while Schumacher was falling off bikes, he was half a second faster than Schumacher when they tested together in 2007 and he doesn't have a neck problem. Plus Schumacher isn't really racing for championship points for himself and the team will recognise this. i also don't believe Schumacher can just come back and be on the pace straight away, I expect him to be at least a tenth or two off for a couple of races.

I agree. However, if Schumacher's return lasts for a good few races, I can seriously see him doing as well as Raikkonen, or better.

It's from an old UK commercial for Daz, a laundry detergent. "Get's your whites whiter than white." In reference to schumi not being the cleanest of competitors.

I'd put money on MS winning in Singapore if Massa isn't back by then. He'll be back up to speed by then.
