I replied to a similar post in Gen discussion. Can't be arsed re-writing it.

Schumacher leaves me cold - he's a cheating git. When people compare him to Ayrton Senna , they urinate on the great man's grave. He's got none of his finesse. He's glorified as the best driver in F1 because there is no one of any interest there - Villeneuve has dropped out of the picture entirely. I least he was a bit interesting.

F1 is crap compared to 5 years ago - they only overtake in the pits now, very rarely on the track. Gone are the days when it was man vs man - the safety measures introduced have made the 'sport' too technological. Yet the personal gripes between racers is always played up, to disguise the fact that there is very little between the top drivers in terms of skill. If it wasn't for the pit stops, the starting grid would also directly translate to the finishing positions. Racing was racing back in the 60's, when the drivers really were dicing with death. Brave men, one and all.

As for CART - they don't even race in the rain!!! There's no fun in watching them crash (which a great majority of people watch F1 for). At least they go a bit faster and overtake a little more, shame alot of the tracks are dull ovals.

Racing drivers always remind me of astronauts - brave, intelligent and capable, but dull as ditchwater.

Give me rowing any day of the week.

BTW, this might be a trawl.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Schumacher is not a cheating git - he's God of F1 drivers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). I got hooked on him when he drove a complete race including pit stops with his gearbox stuck in 5th and came second.

He's an arrogant son of a squeak and probably a complete bastard to deal with but cheating git he is not. (I know he's German, a friend of mine blames them for everything too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))

He can drive a car, but he IS a cheating git!!!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The god of F1 is Ayrton Senna.

Or any British driver who has won the title hehehe   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Cobra - Scots count as far as Brits go.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

After all, Scotland is part of Great Britain, I guess.

Actually two Scots won the title, Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark.  Clark was arguably the greatest driver of all time.  Like a lot of 1960's drivers his career was cut way short by death.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

That was when racing was racing, back in the 60s (or so my Dad used to keep telling me, since I wasn't there  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)).
