Schumacher & Hamilton videos

Some corners you can get away with a faster car but certain corners is all about the tactics.
This is one of those.

or tires...... with all respect for HAM but if you compare him with Michael ) that's really funny. Yes he outperformed Michael in last 3 years but we talk here about car...... when this old guy have something in his hands can do nice jobs (not everytime but for his age it's ok)

On this video he performs the "Villeneuve moving chicane" quite well and in the best traditions of BAR Honda

Im not talking about seasons.... Im talking about the battle on track.
Schumacher defended brilliantly for 2 laps but eventually got outsmarted.
No more no less. Both provided some fantastic entertainment.

I might as well be talking to a wall here.

Solved the problem!?
His car is probably 2 seconds faster, what else should he do than passing him?
It is actually funny that it took him so long to manage it.
We all know that the Mercedes is a dog slow car.

Yes, solved the problem!

Schumacher showed off his best art by deciding the pace out of that corner.
Eventually Hamilton solved it by undercutting him.
The very overtakes has nothing to do with cars really, its a mental battle on how you outsmart your opponent.

Speed can only get you to the car, brain gets you past the car.

Actually a faster car makes a HUGE difference in overtaking. In my limited club racing, I've passed cars slower than mine and cars equal to mine. Against a slower car, it is much easier to just leave a little room in front entering the corner, then run through the corner quicker and pass on the following straight. While I'm not joining the debate, Hamilton did not accomplish anything special to pass a much slower car. Oh, and Micheal is a very dirty blocker, that's not even debatable.

=D> Schumacher sure kicked up a fuss after barreling into the back of Bruno Senna in Spain. Senna didn't show him enough respect.

Schumacher a dirty blocker....?!

You folks hould have been watching F1 in the 80's. They nearly ran each other off the road in those days and in much faster, massively more powerful cars with far less structural integrity. Schumacher is just a product of a different era.

If Schumacher is a dirty blocker, then Hamilton is a dirty overtaker. Looks at his moves on Massa. Never completely alongside but trying to push Massa.
The move last year on Kobayashi at Spa. He moved back onto the line which the rules say you can't. Then a race later at Monza he moans in the radio when Schumacher does the same to him. It was only his moaning and McLaren stomping their feet in the Stewards office that prompted the call from Ross.
Schumacher comes from an era when men raced. Hamilton is from an era of unsportsman cry babies

Oh dear. (edited) same thread scraping the barrel.

At least next year we won't have to hear the inane ramblings of over sensitive Schumacher fans. Or is that being too optimistic?

This last sentence is brilliant, and a great,great(and sad) truth. Nowadays any good defense is too agressive, ahh I miss the old F1 so much.

The Merc AMG Team thread had become an extravaganza of Hamilton & Schumacher overtaking skills. We all know this sort of conversation is heading in one direction.

However there are some fun videos in those posts so I've parked them in their own thread for posterity.
