Did he go to the same school as Schumacher or at least swapped notes.

you need to look up as the sarcasm went right over your head

If he was the greatest then he could do it all without cheating, without pushing other drivers off and without flexing the rules so much that they start to get stress fractures.
Get him in a Minardi and see him knock 3 seconds of what any other driver can do and then I will be impressed.

huh?

And those who hate him, their just plain blind
He's the sort of driver, you either like or hate. There is no inbetween. I've seen every single F1 race he's done and I can say I like him as a driver. As a person? Not so much but his job isn't in my opinion to impress me as a person.

Quote:

His comment was meant as a sarcastic way of saying both he and Schumacher have the history of running into people on the race track. Not a litteral they went to the same school thing.

Quote:


Schumacher will never be in the same company as Fangio, Moss, Brabham, Nuvolari, Villeneuve, Ronnie Peterson, Lauda, Prost and Senna.
Even Mansell looks good in comparison.
There are 'great drivers' and 'Schumachers'!
There are no 'drivers' in the present generation of 'Video Gamers' ..... just as Formula One no longer exists.
Period.

PS: Schumacher 'drove' for all of 600 metres in the Jordan, he was often outraced by Martin Brundle in the Bennetton and if it was not for Senna being killed in a very poor car (that Williams was a PIG!) he'd never have 'won' in 1994.
As for PT....he's just a bonehead!
Never driven for a bad team in his career and never done anything with the opportunities, he belongs in NASCAR along with Robbie Gordon and Tony Stewart, fellow boneheads.

Villeneuve!? Are you having a laugh? He was good for about 2 seasons, and only won the champ coz he was in the williams which at the time was by far the best car out there. I consider loyalty to the sport to be one of the most important characteristics of a sportsman, and villeneuve has now fecked off twice turning his back on his fans and his sport. I only hope this time it is for good, there shouldnt be space for people like that in such a high level sport.

As for the other drivers in your list, I would disagree that teyre all better than schumacher, in fact, I think non of them are better, but some are on the same level as, Fangio and Senna. The others, though very good, cannot be said to be on a level with, let alone better than, Schumacher.

Youre right, this is the playstation generation, the same as how in the 1950's it was the brave as heck generation. Things change and the sport will roll with it. Consequently, now a days it is alot down to the cars, but how you can say Schumachers 7 championships are all down to the car is absurd. He is an amazing driver.

And to those who criticize schumacher for incidents surrounding him, should I remind you that for several consecutive seasons, Prost and Senna made a habit of taking each other out (occassionally while they were in the same team). Racing drivers should be ruthless, otherwise there would be no point racing:

After you mate
no please, after you
no I insist, I won the last race
no honest I dont mind

...What a load of fun that'd be

This IS the sport and he IS the best. Deal with it

EDIT: The thought occurs that you mean Gilles Villeneuve, in which case:

I still dont think he was as good as Schumacher is, but unfortunatly he never had the chance to show what he could have been. Still ana amazing driver though, no question!

If you meant Jacques... Then what i said before...
