I hears that he beat the plane 1 out of 3 times.

In the wet even. Dry track, Ferrari hammers him. I'm surprised Crashmacher didn't try to ram him though.

Yeah, the 1 time he did beat the Eurofighter is was by the slimmest of margins. I heard Schumacher put banana skins under the wheels of the Eurofighter

You'll notice that they made sure they put a nice wide median between the two of them.

Great driver, piss poor sportsman. If he was the best ever he wouldn't need to cheat to win.

I still think Fangio, Clark, Senna, and Stewart are the best ever F1 drivers.

Fangio yes Clark yes.
Stewart was a whiner.
And I was speaking of the # of championships won.

MS Is a smartasrse that Is true and he Is smug as hell.
But he is very very good at what he does Win championships.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2003, 03:45:33 PM »

Fangio didn't even become a regular in F-1 until he was 40.

different era of cars back then not nearly as safe as it is today and the speeds weren't that much different.

I don't think Stewart was a whiner, he just got tired of seeing several of his friends die each year. F1 was very unsafe in those years, and track conditions were terrible. And notice out of the 4 drivers I have mentioned 2 died on the track and Stewarts teamate/friend died at watkins glen in 73? Stewart quit after the race.

Im not a big Shuie fan either - but he does lay claim to the best F1 quote EVAR!

Reporter: "Michael, do you have any comment on Jaques Villeneuve's statement concerning the new United States GP circut at Indianapolis?"

MS: "Im am not aware of any comments."

Reporter: ""The Indianapolis circut is Mickey Mouse.""

MS: "Then it should suit him."

If F1 and Indycar was safe there wouldnt be any spectators...

I always tune in for the starts, hoping for a big crash....

from what I read the F1 won by .02 sec in the 600 meter.
the jet won by .02 sec in the 1000 meter.
and the jet won by 2.5 sec in the 1500 meter.
