Mercedes AMG F1 Team 2012

[Ganxxta]

sack all of schumachers side of the garage.
give your QA guys eye tests

There's no need for comments such as this.

Yes there is!
lets sum up:
1x Gearbox on P3 < TEAM!
1xGrosjean
1xWheel not fitted on P2-P3 <Team Again
1xDRS broke in Qualy < Team
1x Driver error
2nd time Grosjean + Engine failure < Team again

So we got in 6 races 4 Team mistakes, not bad for a so called professional team...

Come on guys, the team need to stick together. Things like this happen, it is motor racing. Schumacher understands this and we should too.

[Ganxxta]

Just for how long will he "understand" this?

Anyway, my bet that he isn't going go get more than 10 points out of 20 races is still on the go^^
At least something.

I'm sure you'll be back here to detract that statement, when he wins in Montreal. Won't you?

[marcush.]

I´m pretty sure the team could do well without these issues and sure feel the pressure...Schumi talked about himhaving a special "private meeting" in the runup to Monaco to go through the issues until know again and try to find new approaches to avoid those happening again.
Schumacher is not allowing himself to get himself into a bad mood because of this ,he will turn that page and commit himself for Montreal knowing he has a perfect opportunity coming along ..
My bet is ole and Win there ..

Yea 3 times Grosjean. That guy deserves to get punted, he unlike Schumacher will suffer no penalty as well

[Dragonfly]

Strange enough I find myself somewhat relieved that MS got that penalty in Spain. Otherwise I'd have to watch him retire with a technical problem while leading the race.

I agree. Retiring from leading? That'd be extremely painful.

I'd want nothing more than him winning there, but LOL...not if Schumacher's W03( which is less reliable than an ass) or Grosjean has a say.
Sources claim that Tony Stark build Rosbergs car, whilst Wile E. Coyote build Schumachers.
But yeah, as Dragonfly said If he retired from the front...I would have thrown a table through my new TV.

HELLO EVERYONE, JUST A FRIENDLY NEWBIE INTRODUCING HIMSELF.

I have chosen to introduce myself here, as it is this thread that is most specific to my interests, made clear by my username, eh?! haha!

So my name is Johnny, I am 28 years old and am married with 3 children. I have just finished archaeology at Queen's in Belfast, but have been a fan of F1 since about 92/3 - since schumi came out of retirement it has become my sole side interest, quite sad really, but just being honest. I would not miss a practice session, that is my type! I became a big schumi fan from his early battles with Senna, and some of his spectacular performances have reinforced that to the extent that I might be his biggest fan in the world. i was keen to join this forum, because i have been so impressed at the knowledge and also the technical understanding I have seen with a lot of you guys. I am afraid that i cannot contribute to that, but know the sport quite well and may have some points of value to make - we will see. Anyway, as a massive schumacher fan I am just desperate beyond words to see the man do well, and like some i am sure here, i was way beyond delighted to be given that little present on saturday, "what a little star". Anyway, that is enough of the ramble, thank you for reading and allowing me to be part of this, even though I am not a technical expert - hope that is okay guys!

maybe i should start with a question, how will schumacher do in Canada, will mercedes stop these issues with his car

[munudeges]

I think some of us have already went through why Bigois was never good enough.
