Schumi first, everything else simply to slow
-
Not saying he isnt a good driver, its just that any sport with one very dominant athlete is bad for the sport in the long run and makes it less entertaining.

What type of Transmission are they using? It looks like some type of Automatic with an electric shifter on the Steering Wheel.

no idea, but today it looked like several of them had Ctrl+Alt+Delete on the wheel :p
-
Semi-automatic with up- and downshift buttons in steering wheel + a button or two for pre-selected shifts like straight from 6 to 3 etc.
Damn steeringwheel costs more than a familysedan.

Nilsen, i just think oposite, ok as a german naturaly i'm Schumi fan,
but i really wish to see another race driver who can beat
Schumi, but right now there is just no one.
Once i was a BIG Senna Fan and didnt liked the new one
called "Schumi", and today he is the new Senna, dominating
everything and fascinating us fans. But dont forgett he is simply
a human being and not a god, F1 is dangerous.

Thanks Staga, I knew there was something going on that I didn't understand.

You can't call a driver dominant in a series that allows so much differention in the cars. It doesn't make it a bad series, it just means that a monkey could drive that car and win.
-
God help the rest of the field when Kimi gets a car that works.

Yo mazz check the sig:aok

Hardly, Shuey performs in cars that are lesser than it's rivals, like last years 2003GA and more so Shuey dominates because of the way he drives. No-one can pull the required consistant laps like he can especially in the cruicial few laps before a pit stop. Ross Brawn and Ferrari can plan race winning strategies because of Schumacher's ability to drive the way the team needs him too.

In more traditional markets to a certain degree yes but in others not so, in areas where FIA is pushing F1, the middle east, china, malaysia/indonesia ratings are constantly rising.

Yes, he may have a slight edge over other drivers, but if you put Fisichella (example) in a ferrari and schumi in a sauber the ferrari would still win. If you had both drivers in the same car i would guess shumi would win but not by a huge margin. The overall skill level of the drivers in F1 today is very high except perhaps for a few drivers that have bought themselves seats. Fisi, Raik, Alonso, Trulli, Montoya, Webber, sato and button are all capable of winning the championship if given the best car AND team.

I don't follow F1 closely but I know Schumacher is dominating the sport as of late. It happens in every series eventually where one driver is in the zone and all anyone can do is sit back and watch him win. Steve Kinser, Jeff Gordon, "Hurricane" Bob Hannah, Dale Earnhardt, Emerson Fittipaldi, John Force and Mario Andretti are just a few names that come to mind.

True, put Fisi in the F2004, and Shuey in the Sauber C23 and Fisi would beat Shuey, but could you be certain that Fisi would beat Shuey everytime and by what margin?
Co-drivers are an excellent way to measure certain drivers. Often I have wondered instead of Barrichello trundling around what if JPM was given the second Ferrari seat. But don't forget, Ferrari weren't the best team when Shuey went to Maranello...far from it.
Ferrari are the team that Shumacher help build, and thats also where Shumacher dominates. Like Senna he is the consumate communicator to team engineers. Put Montoya in the '96 Ferrari/Team and would Ferrari be where it is today?
Alonso, Trulli, Button are all excellent drivers, and imo at least one will be world champion sooner rather than later.

Yup. One of shumis greatests strengths is his ability to work with the team and explain to them what needs to be done etc and help build the team. At that...a "teamdriver" he is truly a great athlete. Its if you only measure pure driving skills that it gets more complicated to find the greatest driver. Shumi does not only drive for his team like so many others do.....he is part of the team from top to bottom.

money put into developement...
Ferrari = 350 million(owns private race track...wind tunnel)
Minardi= 50 million(owns nothing)
oh ya.....good for racing
Chit load of money....good engineers...good driver = good team
Frank Williams is the only one that spends 1/2 what others put for developement and still win races
-
So you are saying there are lotsa variables in F1 racing? I agree. thought US GP was a good race. Those cars are so dam maneuverable.
-
All the F1 drivers are essentially excellent (best of the best) however... Schumacher is still driving at his best even at his age. Things will start to slow down though. Hes an amazing driver to watch.
Now the US GP was entertaining however I think the US GP should be more grand. I've been thinking about this since Le Mans. I think the US GP should be held on a bigger track like Le Mans between 8-12 miles.
