Formula 1 — tired of Schumaker winning?


Thanks to TiVo I can now watch every practice, qualifying and race of the season. It rekindled my passion for F1 racing—the only form of racing I have patience to watch (sorry NASCAR fans). [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]
I find F1 still very exciting, despite the fact that Mr Schumaker gets to the pole almost everytime and stays up front until the end.
I enjoy watching the battles in the pack.
I like Montoya as driver. He's a good kid. I hope he does well.
Panis needs to retire... bad! Has this guy ever done any good? Jeez!

I know it's silly but sometimes I hope we'll see some day an Italian driver racing for Ferrarri, a French driver racing a Renault, and a Brit in a McLaren. Guess I can keep dreaming... [img]images/smilies/icon_lol.gif[/img]

I love F1. And yes, Mr. Schumacer is annoying!

I think that all of the cars should be identical so that no one person has a car advantage, its a race based on skill. I think if this were the case it would be far closer and Schumacer would not win like he does at the moment at all!

Re: Formula 1 — tired of Schumaker winning?


I think Schumaker has already proven his ability to drive in a substandard car. He knew his switch to Ferrari in 1996 meant he was not going to win the championship for a long time because of the new car/radical overhauls. But he still kept on winning races when the car didn't fail him. I think he came back stronger mentally after the 1999 crash and has proven himself ever since as a brilliant driver.

That said, Jenson Buttons 13th - 2nd place drive on the weekend was stunning.

Shumaker is a brilliant driver, and he is currently in the best and most reliable car. Of course he keeps winning!

If he was in a slower car the races would be more interesting - but that will come eventually BAR are getting there - until then we are watching something that will probably not be repeated in our lifetime - they will be talking about the good old days of Shumaker 100 years from now.

F1 is rubbish anyway , its bloody boring to watch , they should introduce everyday obsticles like Old Age Parrafin Lamps in 1970 Morris minors out for a sunday run , or the odd Caravan , what about a stray black and white Border Collie or maybe 3 mile of Traffic cones when theres not a worker in sight !

Ferrari-overkill!!!!
I dunno........I don't mind the horse and poney show, I go to Indy every year to see 'em in the mickey-mouse section off the back stretch. You really see who's got balls coming to that left-hander just past the bridge !!!
I could listen and watch the 'cars' all day! Some of you guys may think it's blase, but I find the sound and acceleration quite BLOODY EXTRA-ORDINARY!!!!
Rory Byrne is a genius! Adrian Newey can retire!!!
F1 Rules, Nascar/IRL/Cart Drools!!!
