the master has returned... albeit temporarily. of course, without any time in the 2009 car it is difficult to judge how fast he might be, and he's n ot getting any younger, but the european grand prix in 3 weeks is the first race that i'll be watching since his retirement.

The master? pfft.

Those in the know, know that he is only in the position he is in through the death of the better driver of the two. Because if that fateful event had not happened at Imola in 94 things WOULD be different. This is THE reason why Shoomacker is the champ of champs.

So you are claiming with absolutely no evidence to support you that if Senna hadn't been killed in that crash he would have won every drivers championship from then up until the present day as well as winning every single race and every single pole.

Right.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

As for Schumacher returning to racing in F-1, this is hardly a shock. he's been working closely with the F-1 program at Ferrari for years, and it was well known that he was willing to step in if something like this ever happened.

Well, we may not even get to see him race. Evidently Massa is rebounding pretty quickly so he may be fit to race in 3 weeks.

senna was overrated. i know, he became a saint after he died, but he used teh same on-track tactics as schumacher, and was outgunned by prost at mclaren. senna only won the championship in '88 because of an anomaly in the FIA scoring system. prost also had more fastest race laps than senna, senna only had more qualifying laps (pole positions).

of course, prost and senna were in a class by themselves, but senna was never clearly superior to prost on identical machinery, except perhaps in monaco.

as far as schumacher is concerned, he was only starting his career when senna was already in his mid-thirties when he died. i doubt he would have continued racing past the 1999-2000 seasons, he would have simply been too old. schumacher's 5 championship streak happened 2000-2004...

things would have been different with senna still around in the mid-nineties, it is rumoured that he was going to drive for ferrari after his williams contract was up. imagine shumacher and senna in the same ferrari team... hakkinen&hill would have never had a chance.

i myself am not the biggest schuey fan in the world (i preferred hakkinen&hill, despite being german myself), but his record is unassailable, and he is easily better than any current driver, with the possible exception of alonso, who scored more points in the last 5 races of last season than the any of the title contenders did, and he did it in an inferior car.

so i am looking forward to it, and i am also hoping for rain, because then we might be treated to a driving lesson by schuey, like in 1996 in spain when he lapped 4 seconds faster than the rest of the field, in a car that only deserved to run somewhere in the middle of the field.

i guess it's maybe also a little bit of nostalgia. a lot of us grew up watching him, and then he left. this is one more chance to see him do what he does best.

as for his involvement in the F1 team: german media have been reporting that he is NOT actually involved with the racing effort, but serves as an advisor to the roadcar team.
 
One of my wishes came true. Now, i want Oliver Kahn to be back to Bayern. Rensing will be a total hit in 2011-2012 season.

Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa for 2010 (entire season)! Boost Raikkönen who is huge disappointment. I hope Massa will return in best condition.
 

Facetious

Moderated
but . . . but what about Bernie E. .. is he still praising Hitler in all of his lovesickness ?

:jester:


I'm a Scandinavian so I like The Hak :thumbsup:

It will be good to see how he does against Button & Hamilton ,it will be quite nice when he whoops their asses :D

Fixed that for me.

Yeah, being a World Champion is a HUGE letdown, innit?
Seriously tho', I think Kimi has achieved what he was after....He seems to me also to not be as motivated as he used to be. I am a fan of his.

Me too! He was my fave at the time. The man who beat the man. Twice. :bowdown:

Throwing false accusations at me I see.

I never stated any such thing that Senna would have won everything from that moment onwards if he'd not crashed. Your ignorance is clouding your judgement. I stated, and it is fact, as Senna's talent was proof of that, that with him in the fray, Mikey would not have wont as much as he did during his time.
