First off Barça is just used when you refer to the footbal team, otherwise it´s Barcelona or "Barna".
I personally miss Schumi big time. It´s also amazing how he drove a bike like just 4 seconds under GP pilots. He pwnz!

I miss Schumacher as well, he is the reason I started following F1 in the first instance.

It saddens me to think we'll never see him race another F1 car in anger, I don't care that his ethics were questionable sometimes, he was the most exciting driver to watch, especially when he was winning the races nobody expected him to win...

I never liked Schumacher one bit, but even I miss him!

Yeah, FA just doesn't cut it as the new bogeyman, does he?

Easy im sorry. Still gonna call it Barca!

I am gald to see the back of Schumacher.

It was outrageous how Ferrari openely broke FIA rules to allow Schu past his pet monkey aka no.2 (a real no.2) driver.

The Ferrari domination coupled with only one driver being allowed to race in their two cars gave us the most boring era F1 has known.

deMuRe I agree his ethics did come into questions a few time over his career but if you really want to nit pick you can question any driver. The only difference is that when you’re out in front you’re the most visible target to be vilified so everything is magnified. You could even accuse Hammy of a few unethical things this year (eg safety car incident & holding Kimi up in qualifying) & he has only been here a year.
That being said I just found this cut and paste of all the records Shumy has.
Can anyone honestly say that with a record like this it is only because of his debatable “unethicalâ€

Yeah , an honest team would never order a driver to yeild to a teammate . Mclaren would never do such a thing .

It's all above boards at Woking .

BTW , I'd like to see your back .

[manbearpig]

I'd generally like the race drivers to be doing as much of the testing as possible, but since Kimi had already said he was taking the Nov. tests off, I think this is a great idea. I'd rather have Schumi in the car than Badoer. That's a pretty easy choice.

To be fair at the time Ferrari weren't braking any rules in doing this, but they took it to such extreme levels of farce when they had the dominant cars, it really made a mockery of the sport. That's why we have these rules now. In fact, there's a number of racing rules we have because of Schumacher...

never had a winless year in Formula One.... I dont think Schumi would really count Indy 05 on that one.

what makes Schumacher fans great is their love affection for stats. stats are worth as much as how you went about getting them and who you had to get them against.

No denying Schumacher is an all time great but i dont think anyone can categorically say he is the all time great.

Sorry to disappoint you bud buts it’s the real world & that is how it works. Everything else is opinions, assumptions & bias.
As we can see your opinion is the opposite to mine, so who is right? - THE STAT'S, because the how/when/where & if’s are just opinion/bias.
What makes Mc fans great is that when the stats don’t show in there favour they discount them.

No denying Schumacher is an all time great but i dont think anyone can categorically say he is the all time great.

Personally I think he was just too calculation & clinical so not my favourite type of driver, but he was very good.
