[quote=Kobe][quote=davetlv]Damn damn and damn, unfortunatley the wrong Schumacher got injured![/quote]

What a vile and classless comment to make. :(

If my comment offended i'm sorry. There is no doubt that MS is the best driver this planet has ever seen. It just gets a little bit boring to watch all the time.

The fact that RS sustained no serious injury does, as you quite rightly commented on, show how much the sport has progressed in terms of overall safety.

However, that does not do away with the fact that F1 is fast becoming the Michael Schumacher show. Its meant to be a sport. Its not. The fact that he could win the previous GP based entirely on pit stop strategy and not racing performance is a shame.

Reports since Sunday show that in US, which is the biggest potential market for F1, very few people are motivated by the sport. The fact that MS has dominated for so long takes the fun out of it and people lose intrest in it.

This year the only real excitment has been to watch Button and Sato, especially Sato, take on Schumacher.

My previous comment, no matter how unfortunate, was made out of frustration that this man can not only not be beaten but could be around for a good few more years to come, something, in my opinion at least, which will not be good for the sport.

mate it [i]is[/i] the michael chumacher show!

its sad and lame, but what do u suggest they do about it? you can't go around penalising performance. eventually ferrari will hit the peak of their curve and sato and bar will be there to overtake them! :Bingo:

just be patient my friend, good things don't lsat for ever.

davetlv: I appreciate your rebuttal, and I'm glad to know that you're not the type of race fan that watches just to see accidents. I probably overreacted to your comment, but seeing RS not hop out of that car brought back too many memories of Senna to make jokes IMO.

Ferrari is dominant, no doubt. I can tell you as a Ferrari fan I waited a long time for them to start winning again... many years of Williams and McLaren domination. I know how you feel and it is frustrating, but I'm sure you'd rather see Schumacher beaten on merit rather than through rule changes or worse yet injury. Like Slim mentioned, these things run in cycles and soon it will be someone else's turn. In the meantime try to appreciate what you're seeing, because it is something special.

God i'm reading this thread trying to figure out why your so somber about Ralf's crash and then i see:

[quote=kobe]the impact was brutal and because the car backed into the wall, Ralf's head was slammed forward and therefore did not benefit from the head rest.[/quote]

:Bullshit:

No wonder your so uptight about the incident.
