Schumacher was a fantastic racer and driver,­ there's no doubt of that, you don't win seven­ world titles by being average no matter how much­ support you have. BUT he is not THE greatest ever, and­ much of his success needs to be accredited to other­ people and luck. At least TWO of his world titles­ should never have stood (He was let off for ramming­ Hill at Benetton and there was a strong case for points­ being deducted from one of his Ferrari crowns following­ racing an illegal car). On top of that you add his­ ramming of Villeneuve and parking antics at Monaco and­ you have the foundations for a very dubious driver to­ even clain greatest ever. Fangio and Senna may have­ had their moments, but not like the German had.

Arshad- also, Senna died in Imola, Italy and NOT­ Brazil. So you get your facts right.

arshad - Sorry mate, but I think Schumacher is nothing­ but a cheat. Dont forget 1994 when he pushed Damon­ Hill off the circuit so he could win the championship. ­ And did he get penalysed. NO. The FIA have always been­ in favour of Schumacher. I wonder if being German has­ anything to do with it? FIA, Max Mosley, Germans and­ Italians (There is a connection there somewhere) The­ whole of F1 has been about and around him. It should­ have been called the Schumacher championship. Even­ Barichello has no respect for him. Schumacher always­ has his way with the team, so they concentrated on­ designing the car around his driving style and not­ Barichello's, and with the amount Ferrari spend on­ F1 it's no wonder he won seven world titles. No­ one else could stand a chance. You've just fallen­ for the Schumacher propaganda, like thousands of­ others.

He wizzo loosen up man. When Big Joe goes to watch­ Ladies topless mud wrestling he don' wanna watch­ any ugly @#$% noe does he?

One thing that peeves me is when certain people make­ comments on the facial looks of drivers.What flaming­ difference is it if they look ugly or beut, this site­ is for expressing views on F1 and is not a beauty­ parade.The fact that you dont put your own facial image­ on as a comparison says it all.

No. 46 "In the same way as you report racist­ comments, let us all report 'Marnio from Peru'­ for its stupidity. Enough of this @#$%."

Not just­ stupid - libellous. Mosley conceded McLaren had not­ used Ferrari intellectual property (IP) in the 2007 car­ and the sanctions imposed on the team included­ inspections to ensure none was used in the 2008 car,­ either.
As for stealing it - McLaren didn't. One of­ its people was (allegedly) supplied with the IP by a­ disaffected (allegedly) Ferrari employee. Without the­ knowledge of Dennis & Whitmarsh, as Alonso knew­ full well - otherwise he wouldn't have used­ revelation thereof (allegedly) as a threat (allegedly).­
Yahoo - block the buffoon's access. He's­ putting the site at risk of legal action.

smartcaruk, Schumacher is the best ever, better then­ even Senna who was sensational. And the year Senna died­ Schumi had won the first two races and Senna had­ actually flown off the track at home in Brazil while­ trying to keep pace with Schumacher. Get your facts­ right

To Rav A, can I suggest the name of a possible book­ too? How about "The rest are cr*p because I­ won" by Lew Hamilton. Or maybe "Ah­ diddums" the Ferrari biography for 2008? Keep­ smiling mate, keep smiling!

Lewis Hamilton should have won the 2007 season. He­ earned it. 2008 season he earned it even more. Dont­ forget Ferrari got away with a lot of penalties in­ 2008, and Hamilton got a couple of penalties that­ wern't even his fault. i.e Massa hitting Hamilton,­ Massa overtaking in the pit lane, Massa being released­ into the path of another car (he only got a stop go­ penalty for this when historically other cars have been­ given 5 or 10 place penalty, or even a race ban). You­ should really analyse the facts before you critise­ Hamilton. Also, Schumacher was a very good driver, but­ not the best. Senna was. Dont forget, Senna was­ leading over Schumacher when he had his fatal crash.

Ferrari are run by the mafia, and Bernie is in the­ pockets of the mafia and gets bummed by them on a­ regular basis, how else do you explain such a dominance­ over one sport by one man? ahahahaha FACT! ahahahaa

marnio from peru: You read much rubbish? More like­ you post much rubbish. JBolan, Ollieboyyy, or whatever­ your name is, give it a rest already, at least til the­ season restarts. If not come up with something new­ instead of simply rehashing the same old @#$% over and­ over again.

BMWs not my favourite car either give me an Austin­ Allegro 'S'.
Stroke me a Stripper

to not printable
as for the blue and white yes a good­ colour but the cream and white or turquoise and white­ are better looking on this car

Christian who?

The rule changes I thought were to make the drivers in­ more control and make their influence the deciding­ factor in a race. Im all for that. Admittedly you have­ ask about the technological side of things and F1­ supposidly being the innacle of whats new and­ innovative in the car industry as a whole, but iit is­ also a sport and you need competition to be a sport­ which F1 did lose when Schumacher was the dogs­ boll*cks. Fingers crossed more competition will come­ with the new changes, unfortuantely it might make the­ cars very ugly...OMG that is a foul looking machine!!

These F1 cars look stu**d. The ones from season 2007­ look much cooler. These new regulations every year are­ gonna make the sport very uncool

In the same way as you report racist comments, let us­ all report 'Marnio from Peru' for its­ stupidity. Enough of this @#$%.

The uglist car a bit like BMW driver Robert he so ugly­ he makes babies cry eh eh I agree the car is ugly and­ F1 is going backwards like the governing body who is­ destorying F1.

aormk 1800 - give it the full and correct title austin­ NASH metropolitan (in blue and white of course)

Rav A get a life, every bugger was stealing stuff it is­ part of the game get caught and get blown thats all You­ seriously believe that Marinello didnt nick a pile of­ stuff, grow up and open your eyes and stop prattling­ about nothing
