Re: Hamilton vs Schumacher and their contemporaries (split from Official Hamilton Thread)

Rosberg pits lap 10 and comes out behind a Caterham that he overtakes on lap 11. He then has clean air. Schumacher pits on lap 11 and comes out right behind Alg and Trulli (within 1 second). Schumacher overtakes Alg on lap 11. Lap 12, Schumacher is stuck behind Trulli, but overtakes him too. Next u...

Re: Uncharacteristic errors from Hamilton and Verstappen

It's amazing how harshly drivers are scrutinised now. I guess because F1 has become so much a game of perfection. I remember Schumacher's 98 win in Hungary. It's held up as one of the greatest wins of all time. If a driver put in a performance like that now they'd be panned for it because he took a...

At the time of his crash I heard it was a brake failure so I'm not sure how that got out. Probably because Ferrari said it themselves...

Schumacher had the microphone on him outside the car a hell of a lot, he NEVER criticised the team so publicly, and he had a lot of ammo with which to do so in 2010-12 when his glorious comeback looked destined to be mired in the midfield (see the BTG interview linked earlier for how Merc brass saw...
