Well since there are soo many quotes I want to make, firstly I dont know how and secondly I'm too lazy to try what I think could work.
I dont support him because he is good in the sense of being a 'glory hunter' ever since I have been watching F1 and actually remembering some things, I have been a Schumacher fan since his Benetton days (1994). Yes, I will admit that the 1997 incident was his fault, and I will also say this, you do turn in on people now and then, its racing! But I will concede to the fact that it is controversial.
The other incidents except the DC one were all blocking, its never been illegal to block someone however aggressive the manoevre may be, blocking is legal as long as you dont swap lines twice.
The Austrian GP wasn't Schumachers descision, it was upto Jean Todt and Ross Brawn how can you blame the driver for team orders? Explain that to me please.
Unfortunately I am now going to have to turn to something I wish to avoid but it might be the only thing I suppose I could use to emphasis my views is, for example, had Schumacher lost his life last weekend at Monaco, many of his haters I suppose they could be called would suddenly change their views on him, why should death influence that?

Ah yes I remember about that now.
There was a documentary on the crash a while ago on Discovery.
Motorsport is incredibly dangerous, especially the Rallies. Greece for example, within inches of peoples houses.

Wow, can't believe Schuy went from 1st to last to 5th! Quite amazing considering the circumstances.
Yeh, Motorsport is really dangerous, especially if you make 1 little mistake and the results could change lives.

Not really when your in the car he is. It would of been all different to come from last to 5th in a car like the BMW or the Torro Rosso etc. He does deserve some credit but not that muchIloveGilly said:

But it shows that he would have practically won it if he didn't try and drive into the wall.

And especially in F1 where your car has no structural integrity (carbon fibre breaks like you wouldn't believe - they use it sometimes in ice hockey sticks and they seem to break all the timeSureshot said:
) and every impact is magnified when you are going 300 kph. It's VERY dangerous, but that seems to add to the excitement.The strength of the outer Carbon Fibre is irrelevant, it makes little effect to the driver or safety of the car.
It will be stronger than the CF used in hocket sticks though.
The main strength of a F1 car is the chassis, made out of Aluminium, iirc.
Drag Racing despite only going straight, is far more dangerous than F1 is now.
People seem to have an impression of Drivers not having to do much with the steering wheel, but to the contrary, they move it around with incredible force.
Nothing beats Drag Racing thouugh :cool:

One of the main competitors in Malta drag racing is a 4.2 tonne truck that does the quarter mile in about 8 seconds iirc.

All that needs to be done firstly, is that the cars need to be able to overtake each other properly again. So get rid of all the silly vanes in the wings! It just creates turbulance! From there they should strip most of the silly current rules, use as many engines as you want. Why? Well we wont have cars going slowly because they are saving their engines for the next race mainly.

Perhaps something like a cap on how much you can spend on your car. I mean, there's no way the Midlands and Aguris can compete with the financial likes of Toyota and such. If you cap the amount of money, then competition amongst the constructors should increase, right?
