Schumacher isn't dead yet. When he dies (and hopefully sponsors some charities in Germany), then he will be seen as a racing legend.Kevin Watts;577872 said:

People tend to remember the bad moves of Schumacher. With all respect he lost his mind what five or six times in a career that is already lasting since 1991? How many races did he drove in total?
I was never a big fan of him before he retired but since he is back I am following him with close attention. Great stuff to see a 41 year old back in business.
Of course the move he made was a little over the edge. He said sorry now and I am sure there are no hard feelings anymore on the side of Rubinho.

The man's an idiot.
With the greatest of respect Kevin, Omer... F1, along with the Book of Drivers Etiquette has moved on quite a bit since the days of Senna.
Why try to kill yourself over a point?
It has been blown out of all proportion as all things F1 do, but it was a really dumb move to make.

Yes Billy its become sterile with no overtaking. I don't want to see drivers hurt or worse killed but I can remember wheel to wheel weaving down a straight between Mansell and Senna, I remember Senna taking out Prost and Prost taking out Senna to win their championships, I remember seeing Senna hitting many a car...and driver! I also remember Senna's charitable work and I'm aware of the charity work and large donations Schumacher has made and his input into making F1 a safer place for drivers in his years in F1. It makes me wonder how this character of some horned devil people see in Schumacher came to be yet the likes of Senna is held up as an idol. Sadly a lot of this stems from the British media and the childish view of him because he is German and the small minded 'little Englander' "who won the war" mentality and unfortunately some misguided souls buy into it completely.

Personally I think some of the moves of both Senna and Schumacher were over the top and fully disgraceful. Hang me. I'm happy to talk about the negative side of Senna all day long. The few poor decisions (poor in my view) of both the guys during their careers will never take away from the legendary status of either. Just remember that Schumacher is 'of the moment', still in the here and now it will die down eventually.
A whole generation of people who idolise Senna would see Moss as a great despite never actually seeing it in the there and then, just as there is a generation who idolise Schumacher and see Senna as a great. To these guys in the later generation Senna is slipping into the history books as a great name who only did good just as those before him did. Fear not as Schumacher will go the same way, to hold station the all the great names of 'motorsport past' as the new generation of here and now are scrutinised day in, day out.
That's the price of super-stardom. Like all the saints who where canonised after their deaths, or the penniless artists whose work sells for millions in auction houses today.

schumacker is a legend on formula one, this was a really bad act from him, but remembre vettel made a similar thing at the start on hockenheim...

I disagree. I think the during the glory years when Schui was way out in front was when F1 was at it's most sterile and boring. In fact, I stopped following it for a time because it was so predictable. I think over the past few years it's got better and more exciting... then there's this season.... It's so far been one of the best I've ever watched with all sorts of action going on - and a hell of a lot of overtaking for F1.
I'm fully aware of the charitable work of the Schui.. I've been to the ROC on a couple of occaisions, I'm also aware of the man's achievements, it's inescapable. But the way he presents himself (to the media), his demeanor, personality and ruthlessness are all bad points for me.
On a good day, yes he's genious. On a bad.. he's an idiot.

I am really curious if the old meister can do it off in 2011. In 2010 he was outpaced by his teammate on almost every occassion. Let's hope that the development of the 2011 Mercedes GP car did him any good.
Would be a stunt if he can fight for the win in 2011.

well he had claimed that his car wasnt faulty.. so hopefully he will have something to be pleased with..
wish there was an option of EQUAL PERFORMANCE in the real world..

I am going to be really disapointed if the new developt car won't improve Schumi's performance because that will prove that Schumi was quite the liar to say that this years car was not made for him.

I think he'll be on better form next year. He was actually quicker than Rosberg at the end of the season.
I hope he will be competitive a lot I love the imagination of that big number of champions fighting for a tittle

I'm with Chris, towards the end of the season he was on a par, usually quicker towards the end.
But doesn't that have to do with the fact that he finally learned the car and how it is ment ot be setuped in order ot suite him?

Georgios, remember that the last car Schumi drove was a 2007 Spec ferrari when he was seeing if he was up to driving a 2009 car. Of course it is going to take him a while to learn a 2010 car. Rosberg hasn't had a break like Michael did.
But still it took him more then half a season to get used to the car. I think as the champ that he is, he should atleast need just need half a season to get used to the car and learn how to setup the car to become quicker.
I might be the one who just have high expectation on Schumi but I will wait and see how Schumi will do on 2011.
He already did better or the Pirelli tires. I also read it somewhere during this season that the tires were the biggest problem for him! It will be interesting to see how he'll perform next year.
I want Kimi to come back and see Great Fight of the Champions!I love the imagination of that big number of champions fighting for a tittle
Schumi is old. I don't expect much from him next season.
well also he just came back after hardly any racing at all to f1 at a newer team. i think hes just getting back on track as the car was different in 06 then this year. he'll give it his shot an also he is the oldest and that plays a factor. car will help though but think about because rosberg had good races too and he has the same chasis
