Senna's last race win was Australia 93. After Monaco, he won in Japan and Australia. But still, in 94 he had no race wins...

That Shytie hasnt learnt anything from his Australian GP incident. What was the go with his move on Trulli on the first lap....?!?!?!?!

[rudo7]

come on hudsonhawk, give him a break!!! that first lap thing was good racing!!!

[SimplyFast]

what MS did was right. thats just called racing, everyone just got butthurt cause nobody can cut another driver as well as MS can.

MS is not a "win at any cost" type, he narrows his focus on winning fairly, and gives any other driver plenty of oppurtunity to advance during a race.

Anybody else would have done that move.

Ppppffffft......shuie himself says he will win at all costs.....believe me you don’t want to discuss this "winning at all costs" issue..... ......

Okay....we can see this as "good racing" and if you like as "anyone else would have made the same move"....sure....but its only a good move because Trulli pulled out and it looked good for Shuie.

My point is that Shuie hasn’t learnt a thing. This move is no different to the shuie/hieldfeld incident IMHO. The only difference is that Trulli pulled out!! He had the racing line and what if he pushed through the corner and didn’t back off ???? Would it have looked exactly like the shuie/hieldhoe incident in Australia ????

Look, I can't stand the guy !!! BUT I am not blind to F1 and how he gets away with things. There always seems to be a double standard when shuie is involved....always....and people praise him because they are puppets to what they hear and read!!!

Fish gets a warning over the Webber incident. Shuie gets to turn in on whomever he wants and doesn’t even get a "lets look at that again??"

WHY ?

Bottom line is that shuie spins money for F1 and they wouldn’t want him tarnished.....he is a protected species !!! F1 hasn’t been a "race" for quite some time. We are watching a "business"..... ....not a "race".

Join the revolution.........

Part of racing is defending your track position - what Schumacher did at turn 1 on Sunday was a legitimate maneouvre to defend his position. I'm not sure how you conclude that Trulli had the "racing line" - as far as I'm concerned the "racing line" only exists when there are no other cars near you on the track. IMHO, Trulli's decision to back off displays a mature attitude to racing - if he'd forced the move and crashed out, he comes out looking stupid.

Oh MY God... cant you guys just let it go.. Shumy is human... he makes mistakes.. maybe in australia he was rather stupid.. but u gotta understand.. this is racing.. racers are goin to try to pull of some optimistic moves.. I think they should just let them race.

[DaveKillens]

Shu hasn't learned anything? Why should he? It appears that what he is doing presently is the correct strategy. Winning everything in sight, and dominating.
When you make as much money as Shu, then tell me what's the thing he needs to learn.

[hudsonhawk]

So your saying because he is worth what he is worth, he can do what he wants...... thats WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING. .......oh sorry, your supporting my arguement !!! THANKS

EDIT by Tomba: stick to the topic and write something useful plz

Arrogance is nothing new to F1 racing, many of the most successful racing drivers have in the past been called arrogant and more than one accused of being a bully on the race track!! I think that what Schumacher lacks in comparison to these drivers is that red blooded passion and associated cool that seems to help us forgive the negative points. All the drivers make mistakes on the circuit every now and again; a little slow to let a lapping car pass or making a silly overtaking move. Little is made of these indiscretions but any mistake Schumacher makes is analysed and assessed to death and i think its a shame. Whether you hate him or tolerate him there's no denying his talent and his bank balance!!

Your cracking jokes with your comments above arent you.

I'm not fussed by what he earns.....infact i think its great that he can con those sort of dollars from ferrari. Ferrari have the best car, not the best driver. Just look at Trulli in a Toyota for proof of this ! Any driver is fast if he has the right equipment in F1....the drivers talent is so limited its not funny. Who would have thought Trulli hopeless would be running up front this year, let alone his whole career. Look at the Fish......he spent 10 years crash testing as many F1's as he could and now look at him.....(fish forgets he is running up front now and is already getting coverage so there is no need to crash to get attention.... )

Its easy to jump on the band wagon and yell "look at the scoreboard".

Peace Tomba.....

i dont quite agree with u . I think that drivers do play some part in the performance of the car. U can see why shumacher is so good... sure the ferrari was the best car by a mile the last few years.. but why is it rubens was not always on the pace? u can see it in mclaren also. how come kimi and hakinen was doin better than dc. I think there are a few drivers that has the extra 1% that seperates them from the rest. U can see. drivers like alonso, kim and shumy got that 1% more that makes them the best
