Re: Would you like Schumacher to remain in F1 for one more y
I voted yes. I didn't like him in his Bennetton, Ferrari days. I didn't like the way he would never allow a team mate to race him head to head & I didn't like the way he turned Ferrari into a 1 man team. Thats 1 reason why i don't rate him as the G.O.A.T. Now - I'm impressed by the way he is handlin...

Re: Webber will be 37 when his contract expires...
Stir, stir, stir. Seriously dude. I'm not stiring. The general opinion of PlanetF1 is that Webber is useless. Yet despite his front wing falling off in Spain causing a non points finish he is still well ahead of Vettel in the championship. I don't understand how he can be rated anything but a top d...

I don't think it would have made much difference...

I think he'd already shown them in other races what they ...

So a 2x WC is on the same coin as his team mate who has not finished higher than 3rd?
Find that very hard to believe. Surely Vettel would have had an upgrade clause in his contract should he become WC.
