If your talking about Michael's "parking" incident in Rascasse, Monaco... that wasn't just impeding a driver he stopped all the drivers behind him including Alonso who was in a hot lap, Kimi as well as webber and the rest. That was downright cheating and in the most blatantly obvious manner. Considering that it was part of the track that was imposible to make mistakes especially a driver like Michael. Try to take a look at the facts my friend before you say things. The stewards punished Alonso with 5 grid places for apparently impeding Massa's lap. But if you look at the video and the tech analysis it doesn't make sense. Even the drivers have said that the punishment was a joke. Fernando just happened to get out of the pits ahead of massa as he had punctured his rear wheel. Massa was about 200 - 300 meters away and was in no danger of being impeded by Alonso. Massa was slow on his own. If you see the videos of the two it actually supports Renault's case. Even the ESPNstar guys agreed it was an unjust punishment. fernando's race was indeed decided off track. But then again when has anybody ever called the FIA just. It wasn't enought to have Alonso start P5...noooo they wanted him waaay behind in case he drove well and outdrive Michael possibly stealing his thunder on his last Monza race like Alonso did the last 2 races. Don't you know. FIA means Ferrari International Assitance?

That said, I'm glad he's retiring but I have to agree with Jacques "Michael will not be remembered the way Ayrton Senna is remembered." Goodbye Michael F1 moves on. Its now Alonso and Kimi's time to dominate. Also I thought Kubica did very well. :mrgreen:

How amusing.... I did look at the facts, but facts can always be viewed or interpreted differently. But one fact remains....Schumi won and Alonso got a DNF. The Monaco incident for you and perhaps majority may call it cheating but some may call it strategy...a strategy that unfortunately backfired. As far as the ruling goes in Ferrari's favor for alonso to be down to 10, perhaps the stewards saw it better than we....those are the breaks of game. You can't always win em all, Ferrari didn't win all the time . You can never avoid some underhanded tactics or dirty plays and etc....as far as Biatorre's complaining hah tough luck BOOHOO..... rather than b*tch and whine about it like a sore loser....he might as well start the focus on the next race. Waste of time and energy when it's all said and done. Bring it, don't whine about it.

As far as Senna goes....he's a martyr of the sport, people will always remember him. It's too early to say how people will remember Schumi...only time will tell but another fact remains....Schumi is statistically the greatest, ragardless of the controversies and etc. Touche.

yup, Michael is the best i think he has won every record!!

[kersty]

i must agree, schumi has made his contribution to formula 1. it's about time for the rest(kimi, alonso, massa,etc) to show. gotta agree, schumi & ferrari is one hell of a pair, don't you?

[darkwing]

yup, i wonder if kimi and massa can propel ferrari next year hehe

[usrolla]

schumi n ferrari really made a good pair (best driver n best car) but i agree that schumi must retire after this season coz he really made huge impact to F1 and its about time nga lain napod...there are so many young drivers now nga pwede mo puli sa iya throne.....but i still love ferrari and toyota! :mrgreen:

[kersty]

i have been watching kimi. i think he has what it needs to be champ. he just wasn't so lucky with mclaren. not a very reliable car. i still think the cars performance has contributed to the unexpected retirement of mika n the past. if paired with a ferrari, he just might.

... we have another anti-ferrari here. This is how you react when Alonso was unjustifiably penalised. You cry about it. Especially Briatore, sending out comments that is ruining the sport. And talking about facts, the Steward that punished Schumy in Monaco was a Spaniard. But the bottom line is Schumy is now 2 points behind Alonso .

...And you saying, Fernando's race was decided off track... c'mon, how long have you been watching F1?? you still have a lot to learn. Fernando overdrove his car, he literally killed his car. Comparing to Schumy in Monaco, he was moved at the back of the grid and yet he still got to 5th place.

... don't tell me about " learn the facts", i'm very very old in formula one that i know how the sport runs.

... and i would expect that you will believe JV's comment's since you're an anti-schumy yourself. A true f1 fan would know what JV is and their history with Schumy. Senna was the Jimi Hendrix of formula, died in the peak of his career. Do you really want to know what most people think of Senna?? Senna was made immortal due to his death coz of the " hanging questions" that came out after. " WHAT IF QUESTIONS ". Example like, " what if Senna was still alive, where would Schumy be", stuff like that. But, Schumy was already there during Senna's peak, Schumy was in fact the driver behind Senna on track when he died.

.. Schumy will always be remembered as the most successful driver of all time. The complete driver. But no one will forget about his incident with Jacques at Jerez 1997.


.... can i ask you, how do you remember JV

[yatakitumbi]

hahaha thats how mostly people react when their team loses... go michael go...im very excited to see kimi and massa next year...go ferrari!!!

[fingolfin]

... as for Kimi, he's a very good driver. talent all the way. he beat montoya time and time again which lead to JPM retirement. And kimi is a professional, he doesnt make unnecessary comments. well, he just push stewards away when they try to assist him out of the car when he's on an accident. he still has this temper.

[bad_dongz]

FIM definitely not for Ferrari, Since when did ferrari got so acclaimed by FIM only whem schumi Joined the team. In fact Schumi won his first Championship under Benetton-Renault. Renault is just over acting cause their championship is slowly slipping away.......
