Is Schumacher Arrogant ?
Discussion
I've always had the impression that he is very arrogant and aloof.
I also think he's not as good a driver as he appears to be. The Ferrari F1 cars have so much technology in them to help the driver it's unreal.
Apparently, whilst going through one corner, MS can program the car with different settings for the next corner. It seems that all he does is tell the computer where he wants the car to go, and it takes most of the work in keeping the car in the track.

Not as arrogant as most F1 drivers I could name.
Why is sending a video in arrogant?
He could have had very good reason he couldn't attend.
Besides all that, I have the impression a lot of people don't like him just because he's proved himself BY FAR the best f1 driver ever, and he's German.
I can't understand why so many people don't want to see the greatest F1 driver ever racing any more.
I am pleased I saw one of his many victories at Silverstone last year. In years to come, people will (rightly) look back at Schumacher with even more awe (if that's the right word) than they do now at Fangio.
It's the others lack of performance that makes F1 a bit mundane sometimes, not his excellence. (Example, when it was absolutely chucking it down at Spa several years ago and he went into the back of DC in zero visibility, he was at 100% throttle in those conditions, DC was at around 60% I believe).
Rant over.
I never said he is not a great driver - definately one of the top ten best ever .. no doubt and I'm sure a bit like Valention Rossi - if we were to put him in a middle order F1 car - I'm sure he would still shine and get wins but not to turn up to an award ceremony - voted no.1 by his own country men & women ..
Well that's just ungrateful and slightly disrespectfull.

Never met him, never ssen anything to suggest he's any different from any other very competitive type of person who competes at the very highest level. If he were a Brit, I think he'd make a very good national icon.
I understand he's not keen on the British press. I think this is 'cos of the treatment he and the Benetton team recieved all those years ago. And possibly because Jeremy Clarkson called him a "dirty cheating Nazi German stormtrooper" or suchlike on Radio Le Mans a few years back.
Now thats arrogant.
