Why not?
In Singapore 2008 I was watching the Qualy and Alonso`s strategy appeared to me unbelievable. At the race, when Piquet had the accident and Alonso’s strategy became the best and leaded him into victory, I immediately knew that this race had been manipulated and I felt cheated as never before.
Nobody in Formula 1 or anywhere else said anything. But when Mosley wanted revenge against Briatore, the full story came out us a revelation. I think that Alonso was in the plot, but he has millions of fans and the real objective was Briatore. Unfortunately, that`s the way in what things are made in Formula 1. Business is business.
It had been so obvious. Just like this time. Nobody says a word.
If you open your mind and take a look at the Rosberg/Shumacher maneuver it appears so clear that I can't believe that you aren't able to see it. They failed for an inch and made it just at the best moment to assure the presence of the SC.
Nobody can be 100% sure about anything, but after what happened in the rest of the race I would gave a 90% probability that this was a simulation, or even more.
How much is the probability for you? 0%?
Be honest, please.
I’ve gave again and again the shame explanations and you ask me again and again the same questions.
The key factor for me is that I’m sure that MS simulated the accident. If you’ve seen the race and disagree with me, there aren’t more questions at all.
You've spent most of your time dancing around my question, finally admitting that you don't actually have any real explanation for why Schumacher would have done so. You might be sure that it was a 'simulated' accident, but you're the only one. People far more qualified than you (i.e. the whole world of Formula One professionals) have not come to this conclusion.
If not even the 'victim' in this whole affair has hinted even slightly that they feel cheated, does that not then tell you something? Current and ex-F1 drivers, team personnel, FIA officials, drivers from other motor sports and almost every fan (you being the only exception so far, it seems) have accepted this as being a case of:
- One driver making a mistake
- Several drivers, notably Rosberg and Petrov, taking advantage of a safety car situation to give themselves a better chance of a higher-placed finish
- One driver making the most of a long run on the prime tyres to move from outside the top-ten to comfortably in the points
- One driver having tyre graining issues and deciding (wrongly) that it would be the right decision to pit at the time
- One team pitting one driver to cover off the previous driver, but failing
- That same team then panicking and pitting their second driver to cover, losing sight of what is going on at the front
- Two title contenders being unable to cut back through the field and regain any hope of taking the title
- One driver, perhaps unexpectedly, winning the title
That's millions of people. Does this not tell you anything?
Most of us here have been watching the sport for a while and we've seen incidents like Schumacher's happen before. Some of us even race (see bud, Sam and I think billindenver as examples). Contact isn't necessary for mistakes to be made, for spins to occur. Formula One cars are very delicately balanced and putting them off-line, around the outside in a move like Schumacher's, is going to upset them. If at this point you get on the throttle too early, you're going to spin. Over the years, I've seen it time after time after time. It's part of the sport.Jack your English is interesting, what is your native tongue?
I wouldn't like to type out my guess.
