Does anyone remember this? :] :] :] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvx0xcrWwUk Schumacher vs Montoya , Monza 2003, same chicane. Schumacher even though touched the querb, didn't lose the control, had enough space not to colide and even more as a true champ didn't loose the place. :thumbup: :thumbup...

A crap car, made mostly from carbon fiber, light.... the V10 engine not having big enough tires to put down the power properly and this...most esentiallY: the fuel tank is in the middle of the car right behind the seats. If it gets broken and catches fire, well, thats bad, It's quite logic that thei...

xdan

Not a Kimi fan but either way you put it, the way LOTUS behave sucked...S**ty team.
This is not a way to behave to a driver which brought you victories, many podium and almost every race big points.

xdan

2014 season could be the key to determine who is better...
I expect harder fights o track.

xdan

What does this have to do with the thread?! Man, some of you seem to take more interest in venting your hate than on congratulating your driver.. You have to be gracious in defeat but even more so in success. Pathetic. Well there where here enough remarks about Vettel had won the WDC only because o...

The problem is how easy he has got it in his career. He has had 6 full seasons in his career and for 4 of them he has had the best car (50% of the time a car that was dominating the rest of the field) and another 1 where they had the 2nd fastest car (which ended up being the fastest in the 2nd part...

xdan

For those who are saying that Vettel it's not a true champion: What about the great champion Alonso? Where was him today? Nowhere. Nothing performance from him. Despite having some accidents with the car my feeling was the he just give up. As was in 2010 in the last race when he also fail to deliver...

I hope Pirelli will have better tires to cope with that...

xdan

A TURBO engine will never sound like an natural aspirated engine.
Also the traction i don't think will be so smooth on the V6 TURBO vs current V8.

xdan

This V6 sounds like a joke, a cry baby sound.

Just hear the V10 Honda sound. In my opinion V10 sound it's better even than V12.

Check this video, 0:36-0:48 screaming power sound:

Luca di Montezemolo should also remember how many drivers did come and go from Ferrari title from 1979 before first Schumacher title from 2000.

Booth the driver and that car must have quality and performance to win a championship.

xdan

Man you guys are arguing in vain.... :thumbdown: Schumacher still had it, even his crossing lane agresivity... Hamilton with Michael this year would had much though life than with Rosberg. For sure Schumacher would have not give position to Hamilton. Just rewatch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

xdan

Well it's clear that in qualyfing Schumacher was still very fast at least in 2012 and may be the second half of 2011. So he still had enough "it", to do a flying lap-full speed and comitment which at his age was something avesome. That i say comparing this year Rosberg with Hamilton, it appears that...

xdan

The curbes aren't at fault. There are circuits with bigger curbes. It's the fact that it'a a very high speed circuit with very high speed corners, so the curbes are approached at a much higher speed than other circuits, and in many points with a combination of acceleration not braking. The delaminat...

xdan

Man, it was time this to happen. These tires are junk, fairy cakes.... Stupid Pirelli. And the puncture....Man the tires just entirely explode, the driver can lose the control fo car( Massa) and a big accident can happern..... WTF.... Bridgstone, Michellin, man when they had puncture they were prett...

xdan

This years fastest lap in the race was quicker than last years and the year before, where was the cruising?

Go to a race to get a true reflection of speed

Yeah some 2-3 fast laps at the start of each stint that's the only time you get some speed.

xdan

What about Redbull with Vettel being chased and almost passed out by a Marussia car. This seemed right? How is Marussia becoming more competitive a negative? I thought it was fantastic that Vettel didn't just disappear up the road. Granted a lot of it was down to Vettel being on much older tyres bu...

xdan

What about Redbull with Vettel being chased and almost passed out by a Marussia car.
This seemed right?

xdan

how is having the current best drivers on the grid leading the WDC standings a "lottery" ?? Kimi is doing great, Alonso with his fair share of bad luck is doing great, Vettel is doing great... where's the lottery ? Tell me did Kimi or Vettel had a chance or the tires gave them a chance to beat Alon...

To the Pirelli haters

You complained just as much last year

So when were you happy?

When your guy could win?

When the drivers could do this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4cqCxMZSrw
more than 1 time per race.

xdan

If the race results are the same as qualifying, then people would complain about the races being a procession. Yes if it had been the same but the other way round. If Rosberg and Hamilton would have been nowhere to catch because Ferrari and Lotus, Redbull would have higher tires degradation. I miss...

xdan

To the "Pirelli" fans. I know that this tires brought more suspans, but there is a limit. It they last to long it's no good, if they are junk eating in 8-9 laps and having problem if to much downforce it's on them than they are to far to the edge, that it's also not good. In 2011-2012 there was a ba...

xdan

That was no mistake he was pushing to hard the car and first 2 sector he was 0.234s faster than Button that was already 0.67s faster than Barrichelo...
Whithout that loose of control i think he would have been 0.4-0.5s faster than Button and more than 1s faster than his teamate Barrichelo.

xdan

This season could prove that both Schumacher the old man beyond his prime and Rosberg were underrated, and the fact was that with a dog car in both aero and reability departaments, and tire wear problems, and with some junk tires that dezintegrate: There is nothing you can do about it. Even if you a...

xdan

Well it seems that Schumacher was not so slow in qualifying in 2012, Rosberg might be better than Hamilton in qualifying.

xdan

It's to early to say whatsoever. After just one race. Not want to be pesimist but the pace of Mercedes was pretty good behind Lotus, Ferrari, Redbull. With Webber without kers problems and in a better day, with Grosjean in a better day, with Sutil with a better strategy, Hamilton would have been 7,8...

xdan

Wrong strategy is true , but they made the super soft tyres last longer than anyone, so the car is NO tyre eater. I wouldn't say that. All with supersofts had problems in getting them into temperature, Vettel had them wear out from the qualy. If thee tires aren't in the temperature, they wear even ...

xdan

Time will tell, it's too early to say. After 3-4 races we can discuss much. Until now you it's only Q1. I remain at my opinion that Schumacher still had it but a combination of a weak car in race pace, realibility, and some bad luck didn't let Schumacher to showe full capacity of him even at not his...

xdan

If you put this way then with what is better Alonso than Schumacher was and Vettel is? I mean he also has no competing teamate. People forget that Schumacher fight and worked 4 years to have the best equipment from 96' to 2000. People forget that he won enough races with not the best equipment like ...

xdan

Dirty, dirty you say....Except for 2010 Barrichello i didn't judge any of the incidents puting in danger the life of the other driver.
Instead Grosjean with his clean driving in one season could have kill 2-3 guys more than one time

xdan

To make all his career in general dirty does not stand. There were some incidents over the years some with more importance, some with less. Schumacher move on Barrichello was slow not hard fast move, Barrichello had the brake pedal at his disposal and the outside line to try. Schumacher is as he des...

xdan

I think the author of this thread reffered at what i underlined: Jenson told me that Michael has lost none of his speed ," the Scot is quoted by Speed Week. " I'm not so sure. Look at Rosberg -- is he faster than Michael was in his prime? That's hard to say." First off all DC says that he can judge ...

xdan

Regarding performance of the car i think better.

xdan

Man, Schumacher has so much money that he could sustain a F1 team as hhis own for 3-4 years. A middle one.
It would be interesting. What about bringing BMW motors to F1 again.
Still some dreams.

xdan

Man, all this Schumacher did that, Torro Rosso did that, what did Alonso? Whithout Hamilton/Hulkenberg incident he would have been fourth and scoring only 12 points 2 less to beat Vettel and than Vettel could have DNF from first lap and still be WDC. Even at some time in the race, / middle of the ra...

A video, even more breathtaking:

That argument doesnt pass muster unfortunately. He should have also let Kobayashi past instead of spinning him around illegally Sauber vs Mercedes fight for 5 place in constructor's championsip. For me it seemed that Schumacher just drove the race dryer line and Kobayashi just didn't keep good enou...

xdan

A true champion like Alonso would have fought harder in the last 3 races and he would score 4points more. Massa was cleary better in the last three races. Alonso seemed to have lost race pace. He did this in 2010 also not being able to pass Petrov for so many laps. Now i can see only to drivers to p...

Just read my thread people the gap Schumacher- Vettel was 9s, Vettel was 1.5-2s faster per lap. Analysis on last stint. In the same time Schumacher war 5-7s faster than Rosberg his teamate and 3-4 laps faster or on par with Alonso. Schumacher vs Vettel,Rosberg,Alonso lap analysis for haters http://f...
