SCHUEY IN A SPIN

Last Updated: Thursday, 15, December, 2005, 11:04

By spinning again Ofcourse the "great man" is back I really do think he past it now I mean basing your team around him now is just waiting for another lacklusture season for Ferrari. He should retire after this season.

Brave of you to say that. I'm very surprised really. A driver like MS doesnt just lose his supreme skill. I think he'll be fighting for the title in 06. A spin in testing means nothing. He almost has a reputation for spinning in practise sessions then dominating the race

Anyone got an eraser?

Basically, all testing times are useless.

indeed, but at least they give us somthing to talk about!

Exactly.

Trust ITV-F1 to mention that Schumacher has an off road excursion (I mean seriously, how often have other drivers had a little 'off' in testing recently) and then to prematurely post that 'news'

(Disclaimer: I realise testing times are practically meaningless but it must be said..)

AND then failt to update the bulletin with the fact that Schumacher sets the fastest time on his return with the (it must be said in comparison to the restricted V10) weaker V8 and this being his first drive (although I think, I maybe wrong) with a V8 Ferrari. All this on debut return to testing

Ahem, I don't think he's passed it...

[ButtonGod 0]

Too soon to say if he's past it. We'll know more next year... I don't think we'll see him a dominant again but we'll certainly see him battling it out more with a number of drivers hopefully.

There is a certain ambiguity inherent in that phrase

[ButtonGod 0]

I think Kimi is the fastest man on the grid at the moment but how far Michael has fallen down the pecking order remains to be seen.

A sagacious comment.

Schumi past it? The perils of starting a post too early.....The guy did less laps than any one except Webber(10thfastest wit g/box trouble) and is clearly the quickest!

[pumpdoc 2]

Schu past it? don't make me laugh

[F1 FANatic 1]

i dont know, one season where he isnt on top and hes past it aparently.

i know alot of divers that didnt win all their WDC titles in a row. what we really need is to see Alonso Kimi And Michael drive in the exact came car, fuel, tiers, setup. then put them on a neutral track, then see who really is the best. i bet if it ever happened people would think quiet differently

also, we dont know anything about the car setups for the test but if it turns out that MS was drving with full downforce and full gas tank it would be really funny (i know he wasnt but if he were....)

Michael still has what it takes, he's still competitive and hungry for success.

Well he shut me up didnt he but i still think he isnt going to win the championship he should of retired when he was on top but now ill remember him as the driver who got beaten by Raikonnen and Alonso badly unless he changes in 06 (which i think is unlikely)

Well the only time thats going to happen is if Raikonnen goes to Ferrari and Schumi is still there that would be the day but I dont think Schumi will be there in 07 and im not sure Raikonnen will move. But that would be the scenario which would prove me wrong that hes past it. But I dont think he will win the championship again unless he has the best car. I mean Schumi has never won a championship with a car which isnt the best as for Alonso he won the championship with the 2nd best now in my opinion hes better than Schumi but is Button, Raikonnen better than Schumi it remeans to be seen.

The fact that you even put Button in that threeclover (Alosno, Schumi, and Kimi) shows that your head is on another planet. I can't mention one thing he has done that merits a membership in that crew. When the new guns come along (eg. Rosberg, Paffet, Hamilton etc etc) Button will get so that the hat fits.

Well I didnt put Button up into the top best drivers as I clearly stated he isnt as good as Schumi and if he is it remains to be seen. As for Raikonnen he had the fastest car but not the most reliable so hes quick but is he consistant. But in no way will I put Button as a top driver he hasnt won a race.

Sorry but anyone who thinks Schumacher is past it must be completely stupid, I mean really, really stupid. So he had a bad car in 2005, he still dominated Barrichello and was consistently in the points. The problem was the Ferrari, not Schumacher. I'm completely baffled that people who claim to have been watching f1 for years suddenly think Schumi is now the 3rd best driver in f1, just because Alonso and Kimi in far superior cars fought it out for the title
