was that before he did this:
and this (non-british vs german example)
Would've never guessed that you bring that up...
Interestingly enough, Murray Walkers opinion on Adelaide 94 was this:
And my opinion is that Hill was a fool to go for the move right after Schumi smashed into the wall instead of waiting one or two corners and comfortably taking the lead. Served him right, even more because in my opinion he wouldn't have deserved to win the 1994 WDC as much as Michael did even if the FIA tried very hard to make it happen.
And look what Jacques Villeneuve has to say about Jerez 97:

Quote: "I would never have made that corner without his push. There was no way for me to pass him there but I tried anyway. I thought he might bump me because I had remembered what he did to Hakkinen in the Formula 3 finals in Macau "
Not trying to say that what Michael did wasn't unfair and dumb, but JV wasn't quite the innocent angel being attacked by the teutonic german as many people see it.
i'm not going to argue and say that some people don't like a person dominating as that would be untrue. However, you seem to have some racial tendencies that are nothing to do with schumacher - you are alledging that it is only british who don't like vettel? What, like at Monza? by ferrari and italian fans? Vettel has dominated the sport in a car designed by a British genius. It is no coincidence that he has been booed after ignoring team orders earlier this year...the boos we're not that bad last year were they?so a bit of a flawed argument there.
First of all: I have no racial tendencies, as this is impossible. British people and german people do share the same race, we're all caucasian (with a few exceptions but I hope you get the point).
Secondly, where did I say that it's ONLY british fans hating on Vettel and other german drivers? I didn't. But as this is a british forum, with most of its users being british and the topic on Michael Schumacher I thought that it wouldn't be wrong to assume that nationality plays an important role in the way british fans and their media look at certain personalities.
Let's be honest: There's nothing worse for many british fans of whatever sport to see a german team or a german individual winning and it gets even worse if it's a domination like in F1 or football at the moment.
Just wait for the next match between the german national team and the British national team and make sure to read all sorts of british newspapers a few days before the game.
But as this is a topic about F1, let's get back to the main point: How do you want to measure if the boos in Silverstone were not as bad last year. Isn't it unfair to make that comparison given the fact that Vettel only finished 3rd last year compared to nearly winning this year and dominating the whole season?
I don't buy the whole Malaysia-TO thing as the reason for the boos, it's a welcomed excuse, but to my mind that's not the real issue. It just sucks seeing that german guy dominating race by race with a team that has got all the financial ressources you can have because of their austrian boss being a smart cookie and billionaire.
nico rosberg has beaten hamilton a few times. people love him. nico hulkenburg...there are a lot of british fans who want to see him in a top car and he has beaten british drivers.
i never liked frentzen. thought he was moody and not that talented tbh
That's why I said wait for Nico to become a serious threat. He has beaten Lewis several times, but please, he's not a threat compared to Vettel. Nico has never finished better than 7th in the WDC and even though he gave Lewis a hard time every now and then it's fairly clear that Lewis is the teams #1 (it was clear early on or did you forget about the teamorder in Malaysia?).
i still don't get the point about senna. My comments had nothing to do with him so it is nothing to do with a simplistic point of view.
It was an example, I'm telling you for the second time now. Could you please read my comments before responding?
In short, i posted a complement about schumacher and you have tried to take this forum down a british versus germany thing. you make second guesses about why i would think schumacher was arrogant in the past - referring to senna, referring to britain and germany etc.
but you are wrong with your assumptions and if you are telling me that you know what is in my head more than I do, then I will let others decide if that is a clever comment or a bit "simple"
In short, I didn't like schumacher's arrogance in his career. I also didn't like the incidents with hill, villeneuve and parking his car at monaco to stop alonso. in 3 years at mercedes, I must say, he was outperformed by rosberg in every season. he learned to lose and became a nicer person.
now i look back at the cars he drove and his driving, i enjoy it more because i don't have to watch the rule breaking - I can look at the clean laps.
Wow, someone's sensitive.
You gave your opinion, I gave mine. I was trying to give you a different perspective on Schumacher's first career, underlining it with snippets from the past. Ever heard of broadening one's horizon?
Reason was that it's boring to see the same old stories when people talk about Schumacher, it's always the same and it's never the whole story.
If not, are you then saying you are the "master race"? (no doubt)
Yes, that's exactly what I was saying.
