Schumacher

[htid]

So, were the FIA right to take Schumy off the grid after what he did in qualifying yesterday? Did he do it intentionally or was it a genuine mistake? What do you guys think?

I think it was intentional - as do most people in F1 judging by the reactions earlier on of people being interviewed.

total CHEAT

ive been watching F1 for years and years now and have become familiar with the tricks of Schumacher

Look at the days when he used to battle with Damon Hill - he was cheated out of at least 2 world championships becuase of his antics.

Then there was the year when Jaques Villeneuve won the championship - that race in Jerez, Schumacher tried to force him off the track.

bout time he got caught for stuff like this - and Ferrari

blatant cheat, and something that Schumacher is totally capable of. He's a sore loser and arrogant. He should of been taken out of the race not just put to the back.

Good race to watch today, Shame Kimi and Webber retired. Schumacher drove well tho today, annoyingly.

Schumacher= [Oi! Lowe]

This is the reason i don't like F1, too much cheating going on, much prefer MotoGP and Superbike racing, the riders there have such respect for each other

Hows there a lot of cheating in F1? Never really watched MotoGP and Superbikes closely but I'm sure theres just as much/just as little.

Well whatever, maybe that's just my view but compared to MotoGP and superbikes it's boring anyway imho.

99% of F1 is cheat free. Only Shoeshaker makes up that 1%! It was obvious what he did and he knew what he was doing. He should have had a 2 race ban.

How can you say that F1 is full of cheating then? Everyone knows what goes on in F1, it is there, in front of your face, that is why Schutzy's cheat was so obvious. Most of the players in F1 do a good, honourable job, fact!

I can't then can i, that's why i didn't say it was full of cheating, i said too much cheating - and as for your fact, i wouldn't call racing driving a good honourable job, a good job maybe because they earn stinking amounts of money but what's honourable about it ?

[Koolpc]

They do a good honourable job at driving! They work hard at it etc etc. 99% of them respect each other as to not put each other in danger. Not sure about Schumy though.

As for the money, i agree, mega amounts, just like footballers etc.......Give it to doctors and nurses i say, they really deserve the money.

There is a fine line between cheating and being on the edge of the rules. F1 sits on that line all the time.

Infact some would say in F1 that 'cheating' is only 'being bad at not getting caught'.

[Syd]

It's so easy to finger point, we can all do it from the comfort of our spinny chairs.

Yes I agree that Schumacher did appear to have made an 'intentional' mistake............was it premeditated, I think not, was it a milliscecond judgement on the lines of ----- **** i'm gonna loose it..... hmmm if I just stop now - then I will get pole, probably win the race and maybe I will stay in F1 for another year-----------then I put it to most of us, I would prob do the same. The guy is a genius, and an oppertunist, not some form of great Evil.
