Why Schumacher should be a politician..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/7661652.stm

I believe Michael has had enough of the Lewis hype. I feel it totally unnecessary that the BBC should get an interview with Michael.. Basicly to just ask him about Lewis!

10.42 is brilliant, totally shutting out the journalist!

I'm surprised anybody would stay around so long listening to that guy. He was being ridiculous! There are nineteen other drivers on the grid...

Of course Schumacher is going to talk down the driver with the most talent, the one who is most likely to threaten his perceived position. Also he will talk up his own position. Life in the jungle

They showed part of this interview on BBC News 24 this evening. I couldn't believe the bullpoo that the interviewer was coming out with! Imagine saying that when Schumacher raced Formula One was not a level playing field and ask does Hamilton remind Schumacher of himself!

For God's sake! After five or ten minutes you could see Schumacher folding his arms. His body language clearly indicated that he did not want to speak to that cretin - another moronic, selfish Briton who has star-gazed eyes when talking about Hamilton. I felt sorry for Schumacher. I would have left several minutes into the interview. I don't agree with Schumacher's views on Spa or that all Grands Prix should face the possibility of being taken off the calendar, but I respect his views nonetheless. It was nice to hear him speaking properly about why he retired as well. It certainly was the end of an era.

Agreed. I hate journalists like that. The way he went on reminded me somewhat of Steve Rider...
