No but iirc in his last year with Ferrari he was starting to look a bit ragged on track and was making silly mistakes.timbo wrote:Does he really need to prove anything?djos wrote:If true it's awesome for us fans but I just cant see how this can be good for Shumi's reputation in the long term especially if he has a poor year?
He can damage his reputation only if he would do something awkward. But he's older and wiser now.
He always seemed to make some stupid things once he lost concentration or felt uncomfortable. But I think he would be much more relaxed if he comes back. And he seemed bloody fast at RoC - beating Button and Vettel fair and square.djos wrote:No but iirc in his last year with Ferrari he was starting to look a bit ragged on track and was making silly mistakes.
It was Japan.WhiteBlue wrote:Thats debatable I would say. Ferrari used to enjoy bullet proof reliability and then at a critical point in China he had an engine failure.
He also had totally unnecessary crash at Australia that year. Crashed under a safety car at China at previous year and also spun at the race at China the year before that.WhiteBlue wrote:The only dumb thing he did was the Rascasse parking which was one of his black outs that really were totally unnecessary.
He wants a piece of Hamilton now. I could smell it from Massa's accident.timbo wrote:He always seemed to make some stupid things once he lost concentration or felt uncomfortable.

It's more than that, I think after seeing what LH did to Alonso, shumi might be interested in challenging Lewis. Both their talents may supersede the car car potential argument.marcush. wrote:not to mention the few championships he has won with all these flaws...sorry guys but not to like him is ok but isn#t it a bit nitpicky to dwell on possible faults with that spectacular resume speaking for his alround universal potential ?
He surely went too far at times ,but that can be said about senna and prost as well.
Maybe one could argue about his age ,but then he was not exactly sitting at home
gaining weight lately ...and if I remember correctly his last race with ferrari was nothing less then a spectacular ,stellar drive .
So to think he might struggle is possible but surely not something one would put money on.Will he be blown away by lewis ? this is more a matter of car potential
Will Rosberg blow him away ? Lets wait and see.
I hope takes out LH on lap one of race one just to piss you offISLAMATRON wrote:Rosberg will on occasion beat him just as Massa did. MS does some crazy things when the car isnt capable of winning, If he does come back I hope we dont see any more of his shenanigans.
