cavallino 2 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Michael would sell his mothers lifeless body if he thought it would make the Ferrari faster. Giancarlo acts like a real human which is something Schumacher has never achieved. That's pretty low coming from anyone, I am surprised it came from you. hmm... see, I thought fisi would have found out after the race that his friend had died for him to be acting that way on the podium... If he was like that after the race, would he have been like that in the c#ckpit? It is a bit bizarre that he would let it all go on TV 3 days later. Grief can take time to sink in and different people express it in different ways. Doesn't matter, do it any way you want, nothing bringsthe person back.

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Hockenheim '97, after the death of his father and a spell in hospital for Gerhard himself. A dominant win, and Benetton's last. Oddly enough Berger also scored Benetton's first win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Player(1) 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Can no one see MS's charity work and public displays are PR stunts? Not saying they are in any way false but there is effort into making sure the public knows about it. Other drivers do charity work (Alonso is the spanish ambassador for UNICEF) but their managers *cough*weber*cough* dont go around leaking it to try and increase there tarnished reputations on the track... MS's body guard was killed in the tsunami which is why he was motivated to give a record breaking ammount incase you didnt know. Not even a scarifice for him to give 10mil anyway....make that back in a month or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is alonso really poor that he needed to shift to an unreliable mclaren just for money. if there is another reason for his shift please enlighten me. And if your an ambassdor for something don't you often recieve money from them rather than giving.(just asking. don't know the answer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it makes complete sense for charitys to pay famous people... Just shows your small mindedness when you equate real life issues with on track matters. My point is MS's PR is doing that.

So thus alonso being brand ambassedor just earns him more money. So what if MS's Pr guy is doing it. He atleast contributed right. Maybe for the wrong reasonns, but the cause isright. At least someones's life became better with it right. What has alonso done for charity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
