You've already equated me with Nazism (I'm Asian and supposedly oppressed by pseudo-Nazis according to our Harpist overlords), I've denounced the movement as Chicism, and it's all going down a very toxic rabbit hole, isn't it? I've pointed out you used a rhetorical device used by Nazis to persecute...

NO POLITICS IN SPORT AND TAKE YOUR DIVISIVE Harpist POISON AWAY FROM HERE. A literal re-hash of cultural bolshivism . How do you know that's not what Grouchos would want you to believe in order to deflect attention from all the Chicism? Are you starting to see already how divisive breaking the no p...

F1 has always been about car and engine advantages, Schumacher always needed at least the second best car to be Champion, most of the time he had either the best or equal best car. Without such advantages Schumacher wouldn't have had the success he had, was he not the most advantaged driver before ...

Yes Trulli by today's standards was top tier when coming into his peak circa 2004-5. His performances showed that well. To outscore Alonso despite what Briatore was doing is quite a feat. 2005 was equally impressive. The talent pool back then was underrated. Another top tier driver was Ralf Schumach...

Schumacher is a good driver, but as many people have said, he's never had a WDC as his team mate, and after coming back from retirement, and once paired with Rosberg, he lost. He's also had a few dubious moments like parking his car, ramming into others, and so on. If you ask me, I would rate Senna...

myattitude

Perez was overdriving, although it turns out his steering wheel was moving by itself in the first stint, that's why he changed it. So maybe we'll give him a pass all in all and wait for the next race. He does need to relax a little though and have faith in his abilities to produce results.

I think it is a very interesting take from myattitude actually - certainly not fantasy in any way. Schumacher revolutionized many aspects of the sport, the likes of which very few others have been able to achieve. Senna before him started with the importance of fitness, and Schumacher took it to an...

A major dynamic to factor in is the linear time in which their two careers sit relative to each other. Usually the new generation sits on the shoulders of the previous generation and takes many of the advantages of sitting on those shoulders. In Schumacher's case he arrived as a 22 year old and then...

myattitude

Me too. Whenever I discuss this on internet forums, I learn even more that Michael Schumacher is indeed the best driver of all time. A contender for the best in the history of sports, actually. That deserves a whole other thread. Schumacher or Federer is an interesting comparison because they both h...

It's a fact that Hamilton has beaten a better cast of characters within his own team (Alonso, Button, Rosberg) and a better driver than Mika (Vettel), the best rival the grid had to offer Schumacher during his best years, in another team.

The fact that we've gone through 23 pages of debate and precious little has been said about how Schumacher was in any way a better driver or racer is already a win in Hamilton's column. Resorting to dubious comparisons of their supposed 'mental strength' is fighting on shaky ground and a tacit admi...

myattitude

We saw as recently as 7 months ago how Hamilton descends into conspiracy theories and blaming others when results don't go his way. This isn't something he grows out of, this is an actual character trait. Hamilton hasn't galvanised Merc since 2017 beyond "well done guys you're awesome", the team wa...

Another telling comment: __________________________________ Vowles, the chief strategist, says he was not such a team player when he first joined. “When he joined us, he was a mercenary,” he said on the Beyond the Grid podcast. “He was here for himself to win races.

But that wasn't the point of the post, which was to highlight Schumacher's contribution to Mercedes's success today, that team building trait which Hamilton (or anyone else) doesn't hold a candle to.

Well, all indication points towards Barrichello being slower than Bottas. And Rosberg completely and comprehensively beat Schumacher over three seasons. But I agree, second- career Schumacher did not have these meltdowns under stress anymore. Instead, he crashed more into other cars during these th...

I'm not sure why you would object to prioritising performance analyses over points/results records. The latter is one of the fundamental flaws in F1 as a sport.

I find it incredible that this poster keeps casually putting out the idea that Alonso, Montoya, and Kimi were all on an equal level, and doesn't see how that creates a massive eye test fail for the very premise of the point being made.

When talking about cracking under pressure in respect to Schumacher I think of 1994, 1997, 1998 and 2006, in respect to Hamilton I see his 2017 and 2018 comebacks against Vettel, under pressure and mistake free. Against Rosberg despite having far more bad luck he also came back in the 2016 title ra...

Addendum to Hamilton's headspace. There are drivers who raise their game under a stressful challenge, think Montoya, Senna and Schumacher.

According to Eddie Irvine it was Jean Todt that put the team together. Eddie Irvine is wrong. Todt's job was in trouble by the end of 1996 and it was Schumacher who instructed (that word is not too strong) Todt to hire Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne as soon as they become available. Source? It was the R...
