Schumi is the best F1 driver of modern times!
Traditional German devotion... Wittman, Hartmann and now Schumacher! :D

Hehe..and of course, traditional Italian automotive craftsmanship! :)
Cobra

He still has yet to equal Mansell's record of winning the Championship with 5 races to go.
Schumacher needed an extra race to seal it. ;)

Nice car! Pilot doesn't mean much in F1 anymore. :(
-
Hmmm... Funked - nice car? Yes. But his team mate Barichello (sp?) is driving the very same car... A few years ago the very same Schumacher drove a race with a gear box stuck in 5th gear and came second! Pilot is not important? Oh, please.... :rolleyes:

Funked, you know WHO gave the specifications for that car, huh?...
When Schumacher arrived at Maranello, the car ferrari had was completely remodelled following...you know WHOSE specifications? :)
Schumacher has such a car because he ALSO made it. He doenst just drive, you know... ;)

umh, rememeber when Schumacher joined Scuderia Ferrari ? at what level was Ferrari that time ? better dont ask, they had problems to be in the top 10 !
What we today have is the result of hard work of Schumacher & team Ferrari, They earn the fruits now and they deserve it !
Guess what, where would Ferrari be today without Schumi ? hah!
"Pilot doesn't mean much in F1" my a**

Ahh, F1-racing... my favourite of all times has to be Ayrton Senna. Not only because of his excellent driving skills but also because of his style. He gave no quarter, I'd say he could even be described as having been a vicious driver.
-
I'm a big race fan, but I have to say I no longer wake up at 5:00am to watch F1.
The race is over at the first turn (barring engine failure). The point I think Funked was making is that you could put any F1 driver in the Farrari and he would most likely win. Ferrari dominated no doubt about it, but it's more "the car" than the driver IMO. Put Shumacher in a BAR car and I bet he'd be lucky to make the top 10.
F1 is the cream of the crop (supposedly) but the racing is boring and the TV coverage plain SUCKS!
BTW...congrats Ferrari!

Hes not pure german :p

If you think Schu designed the Ferrari car you have a lot to learn about engineering. As if he was in the wind tunnel testing diffuser shapes or if he was at the CAD station drawing gear tooth profiles... More like he picked the color of the steering wheel cover. ;)
All he's proven is that he is faster than Irvine the drunk and Barrichello the concussion victim. ;)
Gh0st has the right idea - it's Schu AND the team. But in the reverse order. :)
At least he didn't have to ram his opponent or use illegal traction control this year. ;)

Schumacher admitted to ramming Vilneuve recently, in that tight championship run-in a couple of years back.
And we all remember the strutting march down the pit-lane to confront Coulthard who had apparently just tried to kill him - by driving his car at constant speed in a straight line no less.
He's a salamander. ;)
But a great driver all the same.
Anyone remember what happened at Hungary in 1989? Mansell 12th on the grid, in a Ferrari on a very narrow circuit with little in the way of passing opportunities. And he wins.
-
well, what counts are the wins and the Championship titles. In the future we will only remember the World Champion Pilots, and maybe the Pilots with alot wins. Everyone else will be forgotten, or do you remember all the pilots from '80 or '90 ? ;)
And maybe its easy to drive the Ferrari, but you first have to do it succesfully and win!.
I quote the famous words from Ron Dennis:
"To finish first, first you have to finish!" ;)
As for Ayrton Senna, he was my Hero, i have all his races on video tape, the last one from Imola'94 :(
I meet him once real '92 in Hockenheim in the paddocks. He will allways been remembered
as the F1 Master.
-
Didn't like him because of ramming Villenevue and the episode with Hill.
But he has earned it all and is one great driver. He is a type who can win even in a undedog car - remember those seasons when McLaren was dominating and Ferrari was only an average car ? They had to take Schumi factor into account anyway.
-
Yep, his constant cheating over the period 1994-1997 means I will never cheer anything about him except when he crashes or his car fails or he retires from the sport.

Nobody force you to cheer about anything.
But you should realize we talk about 2001 and not 1994. Looks like you stuck in the past, and cant get over it.
I'm sure you cheer'ed when Schumi crashed at Silverstone and broke his leg, no doubt.
