I've had enough of Michael Schumacher

Matchew · Sun 19/12/2004 14:40:15

It's about time that he gave up, He's already ruined three f1 seasons, and nobody seems to care anymore. I propose that we group together, as we are an international band of people capable of ruining his career, It aint goin to be easy, but we can sure as hell try.
I'm going to need snipers, Pyromaniacs, ex- KGB agents and a hell of a load of thumb tacks. If you wish to get rid of Formula one's most hated driver ( one who has no surprises up his sleeve) you've come to the right place. To join the I've had enough of that poncey, overrated german winning every single feckin race club, call 1800- schumi will die

*calls cost â,¬50,000,000 per minute, each additional minute is free.

c'mon there's got to be more like me out there. 8)

Eeer...

Two revolutionary posts in the same week?

You need help, man...

InCreator · Sun 19/12/2004 14:57:54

Indeed.
Besides, nobody gives a heck about F1.

Right.
Right?
...
Right.

Yeah, the scum. How unsportsmanlike of him to be the best driver. You'd think it was a competition or something. He's not even American!

btw:

Three golden rules:
1. Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.
2. Post in a mature manner. Remember, the minimum age here is 16 - if you're unable to act that age, don't post.
3. If you're not a moderator, don't pretend to be one. If a thread needs to be moved or locked, the moderators will deal with it.

See if you can count the number of rules broken in this thread by only the 4th post!

I've found a place you can look for help, my young friend:

Your illogical rants humour me...

Pumaman · Sun 19/12/2004 18:11:21

As illogical as that reasoning might be, I do agree with the overall point. Schumacher has made F1 boring with his constant winning -- I used to enjoy it, but nowadays I don't bother to watch.

What's needed is for the people in charge to say to him "Look Micheal, you're the best driver we've seen in a long time, but I'm afraid you're just too good. We're going to have to let you go."

Can't say fairer than that.

Michael Schumacher · Sun 19/12/2004 20:11:17

Don't make me come over there and put my foot up your ass Matchew.

I agree the F1 got boring since Schumacher wins almost every race, but I don't blame him. I blame the weak opposition. And perhaps the FIA too, because they need to invent some rules to make the F1 more exciting and fair. Perhaps with adding different weights to the cars that finish in a different positions or something similar.

He! But Formula one is not an spectacle, like boxing where everybody has its chance to fight with the same weapons.

F1 is also a laboratory. Toyota, Fiat, BMW, Mercedes, Ford... They're all testing things and the given spectacle is secondary.

That's why it'll be an exercise of everybody trying to go faster and faster.

I'd like somebody cloning Ayrton

... IMO the faster pilot ever.

Good man Michael, I wonder what you'll say when me and Eddie Jordan reverse over your badly broken body in your ferrari.

Most likely something like "Ouch" or "Damn that hurt"....But one really dosen't know what they'll say till it happens...

Were you watching Top Gear earlier, I think a renault beat a ferrari on the track, or was I imagining?

...Anyone who thinks that that is actually Mikey (instead of what is is: Matchew's alternate account

) needs a labotomy.

I find it funny that Matchew joins, then asks people he hardly knows to join in in not one, but two, violent rebellions against people are frankly, on a global scale, insignifigant.

If only they'd do that to Celtic and Rangers....

On a similar rant, why is it that Pixar keep making great blockbuster films?!? Could it kill them to make at least ONE DUD?!?

At least all the other studios have the right idea:

Maybe it would be better if someone just got off their ass and practiced enough to be able to beat him.

I swear that I didn't call myself Michael Scumacher, It was some other guy. I am telling the gospel truth as my Ip does not show up.

And I think it's time you said sorry for insulting poor michael.

And to whoever said he was just very talented is wrong, his team have an enoromous budget and it's hardly surprising that they were able to do so well. I think the FIA should restrict budgets and create a more level playing field for racing in general. Eddie Irvine was right when he refused to let guys lap him as that adds to the competition in the race and it is more of a test for a driver ( it's a race, not a motorway)

Nacho · Mon 20/12/2004 15:48:00

Yeah, Benetton had an enormous budget...

Exactly, with enough money you could win anything, just look at most soccer teams, or Nascar (which is feckin mind numbingly boring, they go round, and round and round)
The only real sports are where the teams are all in the same boat like our national sports, Hurling and Gaelic Football (much like aussie rules) there are Madrid and Barcelona teams too. They operate on the idea that all of the players play because they want to, they aren't payed at all but still they play, and it leads to fantastic matches and eventually some true ledgends being created. As a result of this, no one county in Ireland continuously wins titles, and that means that every match is different, and you can't predict the outcome ( unlike in F1 where you just flip a two headed coin and pick heads for Michael Schumacher) Even the Bookies have a hard time making money.
I know it would be impossible to do this in F1, but a scenario where the teams all have similar budgets would lead to different outcomes. The cars should all use manual gearboxes, as it's too easy to use a playstation like interface to control a race car that handles so well, it's time the skill returned to motorsport.

By the way, Jackie Stewart recently commented about Michael Schumacher's driving on Fifth Gear on channel 5, and he said that he makes so many mistakes in f1 every race, that if he were driving a car ten years behind, he'd be losing (even against cars and drivers of ten years ago) I know you might say that he was racing ten years ago, but he has lost skill in the long run. Last but not least, have you noticed the way Michael scumacher has lost all emotion for the sport? after winning his first race he looked really happy, after winning the championship he looked like a stick was up his ass (no offence man, but it's gotta get boring someday) 8)
