Sometimes I'm really wondering if you really are an ass of this magnitude or
just plain stupid.
Cause if this is "just" acting you deserve an OSCAR....  - shoved up
youknowwhere ofcourse!!

DGF'ed again:

I haven't forgotten how boring you are.

(And it's 'zee'!)

Not at all true.  Anyone who's rented a hotel room or stopped in a 7-11 in
the US knows better than that.  :-/

On another point, why didn't he drive right off the track when he
stopped the second time? Very strange thing to do when there's so much
grassed area available.

We'll check the stats in 12 months time and see how the speeds
compare. 4 years experience makes a hell of a difference.

But if the carbon fibre is razor sharp as the drivers have suggested I
believe a punture would be caused immediately.

"... Q: Were you worried that the race wouldn't be stopped immediately
after the accident at the first start?

PD: Terrified. The track looked a bit like a battlefield. It would have
been dangerous not to stop the race, because you don't want tyres
picking up pieces of carbon shrapnel when cars are travelling at 350km/h
(217mph). Debris like that tend to be razor-sharp and work their way
slowly into a tyre before causing it to puncture. The race director did
the sensible thing by showing the red flag. "

If you have a look at the pictures you'll see that Michael was already in
the middle of the street at the start and the cars were flying on both sides
around him. Lucaiano Burti wasn't able to see Michael, because of a car in
front of him and that's the reason why he hit Michael. After Michael stepped
out of the car the first thing he has done was to ask Burti if everything
was alright with him. The next thing was that he walked back to the pits,
slowly, because he thought the safety car would come out and his race was
over and out. As he noticed that the race was stopped he started to run back
to his crew to get in the T-Car.

It would have been much more dangerous if Michael would have tried to go to
the outside or inside. BTW, why are drivers trying to take their car back to
the pits even when the engine has blown up and oil is running on the track?
In qualify was someone on the track (Jarno Trulli), trying to drive the car
back to the pits and he has chosen the best line to do it. Rubens
Barrichello wasn't very happy about this and he has shown the driver about
his feelings.

It seems whenever Michael does something, it's wrong - no matter what he
does. Why do you people have such a problem with him? Ayrton Senna wasn't an
angel too, but he is known as the best driver in the world. He has done some
stupid things in his career too, but it seems in Michael's case everything
is stupid.
He IS the best driver in the moment and if you have a problem to deal with
it I can't help you. You don't have to like him, but is it too much to ask
for a little respect? Well, it seems it is.
Have you ever talked with Michael Schumacher? Have you ever seen him in
private? All I can say that he is a great driver and that I don't know
enough of the person Michael Schumacher to make my own judgement about him.
Why is it so difficult to respect one of the most succesful drivers in the
history of F1. It seems there are the same problems with Jeff Gordon in
NASCAR. Are they just too succesful?

Then again, a lot of drivers have shown great promise and never really
delivered, so you might get your "I told you so"-moment. In this case that
doesn't seem very likely to me, but it's possible.

And what about the pole vault, the shot put, etc.... ?

Only things Americans excell at are showcase events like the 100m and
4x100m, which is a good strategy as these people intend to make a good
living out of a career which, through physical constraints, can't last very
long. Therefore they also excell at selling themselves when they win. Not
very gracious, not very in tune with the phylosophy behind the sport, but
effective. They even got you believing they win everything.
