Fair comment, and in their position i'd find it difficult to perform any
type of rudimentary task, let alone my job. But no-one forced them to race,
they chose to. And no-one, be it the FIA or their own team management,
subjected them to the usual administrative rigmarole that goes with race
presentation. My deepest sympathies go to Michael, Ralf and all of their
families at this difficult time.

You might think it is - but it is VERY much a matter of opinion.

Some people would agree - and wouldnt even think about racing.

Some people would disagree and consider the very best tribute to carry on
and deal with it.

Either way - their efforts were superb and Michael's result - especially in
his middle stint - quite stunning

Agreed.
Personally, I think it's harder to do nothing at a time like that.

Somehow - I think they were hoping for a result their mum would be proud
of - and they certainly got that.

Good sign off for the F12002 as well.

I pull my hat to Michael and Ralf for their dedication to their job, their
team, and their fans.

Good job, well done.

It depends where your priorities are.  Family or money?  If you value your
family more than your money, then yes it would be wrong.  But if that money
is more important, go for it!

...and if you feel obliged and dedicated to your team, your fans and your
job, then you'll do what the Schumachers did today.

Would it have been so wrong if he didn't run away with it...

Give the guys a break... Its called professionalism... everyone deals with
these things in their own way... who the hell are you to judge?

Or if the opposite were true they wouldn't race.

You wrote after.  After what?  You mean what, a minute, a day, a week, a
month?  Where do you draw the line.   _YOUR_ line is different then what
other people draw their own line.

Thus, is life.

I would imagine both Schumi's have guaranteed salaries, so it's not
like they'd be losing a huge chunk of change for not racing.

I also assume the starting money and the prize money goes to the teams
rather than the drivers, just based on stuff I've read about the old
financial wars in F1.

That's what's wrong with this world everyone wants to tell everyone else
what they should be doing and what's right and wrong. People should mind
their own ***ing business and the world would be a better place.

  I would also imagine that individual members of the teams have
performance clauses in their contracts.  Engine builders get XX ammount
more Lira if the team score XX ammount of points...same for designers,
enineers, even team managers.  Alot of a squad's payroll might be
determined by the performance of the drivers..
  Also you have to ask how much exposure Marlboro and Vodafone and Shell
are expecting for their sponsorship.  How many advertising managers in
those companies have their very careers tied to how often the Red Cars get
TV exposure?   The scope of a modern F1 racing team is vast.
