Michael Schumacher For Life !!

[wazojugs]

The difference between senna and schumi was that senna would say before hand what he would be doing before the race started or state after the incident why he did it even though majourity of people thought he was wrong and take their point.

Schumi on the other hand would sit there and swear blind that he did nothing wrong until the cows came home i.e. monaco 2006.

That is one of the main reasons why people don't like him. However we do acknowledge that he man had real good talent.

I mirror what Martin Brundle said at the end of the race i just wish he had one less title and 10 less wins!

But senna and schumi are in my top 5 drivers but still dont make the top of my list.

Thats my only bit i am going to say to this thread, opions are like arseholes everyone has one!

That's one of the joys of racing, how in the end it's about people. Real people, with warts and flaws. There's been a lot of ranting from different camps comparing Michael Schumacher and Aryton Senna. Both are/were great drivers, displaying fantastic driving skills, and personalities. Very different personalities, very different perspectives, very different set of rules.
Both just human beings, with strenghts and flaws. Maybe that's the human condition, that we can't be perfectly strong in all areas. Left brain, right brain, ying and yang. If you are strong in one discipline, then somewhere else you suffer. And maybe that's the line of my rant. That we have these two individuals under a microscope, and are studying them with 20/20 hindsight. Every move, every decision dissected and examined and re-examined. And considering the pressures they were under, the self-imposed isolation of decisions, some were bad choices. And more were great ones, because both Michael Schumacher and Aryton Senna, found in their own ways, how to win, how to intimidate the opposition, to sweep it aside and conquer the obstacles they perceived.
Yea, they both made mistakes, errors in behavior. But one does not justify another, or excuse it. They just did what they did.

Good post Dave. At the end of the day none of know how we would react under the same circumstances that Senna and Schumacher have found themselves in over the years... but everyone's an expert... or so they they think.

Then again, this forum would be very quiet, if we could only talk about things we have experienced ourself.

You think? Since it was his last lace i dont think i heard any nasty words from SHUMI towards FISI. I think shumi would have thought it was fisi job to do that
