Mercedes AMG F1 Team 2012

it was not ross speaking was it? pretty sure it was someonelse

[FoxHound]

maybe if you look at the timestamp on my post and the time of that incident ?

either way schumacher should go and punch his engineer in the face for his remark on the radio , never before has someone been so professional

I really don't see why Mercedes is more fallable than Schumacher. You posted the remark, and Bang, Schumacher makes a mistake that costs the team valuable points. In future, it may be more prudent to wait until after the race before making such grand statements?
Why should Schumacher physically assault his engineer?
Is this really your mindset?

i went back just in time from holiday to see this old man how embarrassing himself.....

that engineer was Ross...

Stop posting rubbish.

[clipsy1H]

then michael should ask him wtf is with the stratergy calls for the last few years.

why merc didnt bother to set a time and then started on the tyres they did..... hand him his resignation take his sponsors with him and go to sauber.

see how merc like a fairly plain looking car as we already know 30mil worth of sponsors on the car are from msc as dieter said as much in 2010

man please stop blame team!! Rosberg drove fantastic today !!! they bring great upgrades here and not the team's fault that Michael doesn't have anything in his head. Why should we discuss what happened in the past to further protect Schumacher?

He's a great 1 lap driver and probably in Japan will be in top 3 after Qualifying but with this move he ruined himself chance for another podium like Barcelona-Monaco.. We must to accept he's not capable to win a race even if he's in a RB Ferrari or McLaren.
Today team lost many points because of him and could finish with both cars in front of Lotus

i went back just in time from holiday to see this old man how embarrassing himself..... after this race i hope Lewis announce his contract with Merc. Zetsche is crazy if he keep Michael .... Rosberg was fantastic today.

Can't belive how can you do same mistake 2 years in row.....

edti: maybe next year HRT bring him .... there he can't destroy other races

So did you say the same after Barcelona? then you know what happened in Monaco....sometimes its better to keep the mouth closed.

A bad race for Michael, a big mistake, it happens, then I want to see him flying in Japan, as he did in Monaco.

Schumacher makes a mistake ...

What mistake? He said they need to analyse the telemetry to understand what went wrong; he said he even broke earlier than usual.

[NonNewtonic]

Actually I think it's a mechanical failure as you can clearly see that he is braking hard but the car doesn't seems like stopping maybe another throttle problem suffered like the one in Marussia?

[zyphro]

There's so much fail in this thread.

[Dragonfly]

There's so much fail in this thread.

That's certain.

Well, they can paint it that way. The way I saw it, is that Schumacher locked his brakes, on cold tyres, and when this happens....well you see the results.
If the throttle stuck open, the on board footage will quickly come available to vindicate Schumacher. I also wouldnt rely too much on the BS PR release this team issues either.
So its an open case still I would agree.

[FoxHound]

"After the Safety Car I broke a little early, then the car didn't accelerate and then I just went straight on the brakes and it locked up," Schumacher explained to the BBC.

"The accident was unavoidable.

it was not ross speaking was it? pretty sure it was someonelse

i think it was pollock.
maybe hes the mole in the team and the reaosn schumacher had so much failures at the start of the year.

yes i am quite taken back by this comment - can't see michael letting that go, or would his personality llet that one go???

either way, i agree, you would usually hear these guys say "are you ok" or something similar first of all, and never would you expect that sort of response - schumacher will come out all guns blazing and shock the living life out of the paddock in suzuka - wait and see

[zyphro]

Schumacher won't say anything about it in public, there will be words exchanged behind closed doors no doubt.

[Adamski]

Michael Schumacher suspects mechanical failure caused crash with Vergne

So it's official now until telemetry will confirm Michael:
