Discussion

I light of what is being confirmed today, he's on about oil co. Petronas, who have been pushing for Hamilton meaning he's out.........
He has been a waste of a seat to be honest. No idea what Mercedes were paying him. His performance in Singapore and his abrupt ending just summed up his return. Blaming Petronas would be pathetic, he should take a good look at himself.Being pushed out for Hamilton must feel like a kick in the teeth.

Your hate for the man is well documented if he retires at least you'll need to find somethig else to post about, maybe it'll be Hamiltons success at Mercedes, maybe not.Being pushed out for Hamilton must feel like a kick in the teeth.
ETA, don't think Ross Brawn shares your oh-so informed opinion.
"Speaking about Schumacher's future on BBC Radio 5 Live on Thursday, Brawn said: "It's still under discussion, I'm afraid. I can't comment very much on that, but Michael's been a huge asset to the team, he's really taken us forward."

Some of the mythology about lapping the whole field and driving half a race with 1 gear or whatever the story was make sense now - He was in a car equavalent to a Porsche racing against Mondeos.

For me the most impressive thing about the Schumacher comeback is that he proved you can still perform in your 40s as well as the younger generation. He may not be as good as he once was, but it's still impressive nonetheless.

Taken them forward? In what way?? Recyclying crashed body parts. Of course Brawn is going to try and big him up and make him look valuable & important. He has been a waste of space and time and like i have said previously has ruined his reputation as he now has a huge question mark over "some" of his titles in a car that must have been on a different planet to the other cars.

And how old was Rubens when he was out qualifying Jenson a few years back and actually winning races. Schumi fans just can accept that he is not as good as they thought he was.

It refers to tyres, off course. Have similar importance in F1 as oil in the real world.
While I can see why people have come to this conclusion, as Shui has complained about the tyres this year, I don't ever recall tyres being referred to as black gold before, whereas oil has been quite commonly for a long time. My guess is that Scui doesn't like the fact that GP races are now held in oil rich countires on uninteresting tracks and where motorsport has little heritage or interest.Actually no, its probably Lewis Hamilton for some reason (coz he iz black).

How good will Hamilton be when he's 43? Or Vettel?
Maybe they'll be good.
More likely they won't have the motivation by then.
It's become a bit of a habit in modern sport that people retire at the top. Personally I think that's sad. People should enjoy competing at the top level, even if it's not winning all the time. It's putting something back into the sport that you've taken so much from.

As for so what? Thats my point. He was driving a Porsche Turbo when the others were in Mondeos and Astra's. Schumachers almost biblical feats of driving will never be seen again and its nothing to do with his driving skills.

I'm not claiming anything other than facts.
And as to opinion, most of those close to F1 rate him as one of the top 3 drivers of all time, and some even rate him as the greatest.
