You would think that Nico wouldn't want that number either after all said and done.

As if.
Bet he wasn't bothered about superstition when he won 5 years on trot.
Just wnts to be no.1 on paper.

Well everyone knows Schumi's the Team Leader - how could he not be, after all. He's the winnigest driver of all time and he's using the Champion's race team. I don't really see that the number is necessary, considering. So I suppose it must just be preference after all?

..as I have already pointed out in the other thread, this is just the start of his mind games to assert himself within the team.
I do not like this man, I have little respect for him after he punted Damon Hill off and did the same to Villeneuve, not to mention him deliberately "crashing" at Monaco...
In my humble opinion, its not always the winning that counts, but rather the manner in which you win.

I really don't think Michael Schumacher needs to put much effort in to win the mental battle with Nico Rosberg. This is not Hamilton or Alonso Schumi is pairing up with.

But it seems he still is the same jerk he has always been, so this is just natural to him...

I don't think Rosberg will really care, as long as he has a mirror next to his car.

Yeh but Schui is going to walk up to Nico during Friday Practice One snatch his comb out of his hand and snap it in half then grab his mirror and throw it away, Ruffle his hair finally laughing at him while walking off.

Sounds about right, and then Ross Brawn will leave some banana peels lying infront of Rosberg's car for good measure.

Had he won half the championships he did without his poor sportsmanship, I would have huge respect for him. As it is, I have none.

I'm almost with you. I have some respect because he's clearly very talented but I really don't like his style and it doesn't help that I'm a Rosberg fan
