I wonder did those Schumacher drove into or off the track have similar experiences?

I agreed with Mark. Senna was the dirties driver in the modern F1 by far. 90 Suzuka is the darkest moment of this sport. I think 94 was Damon's mistake. He has no room there. It was a stupid move from Hill like a lot of others (95 Silverstone or Monza for example).

Thanks SpongoF1, I don't recall that one but it sounds like the type of example I was looking for.

@ Foo yes he drove into JV. JV was on the inside and Schu turned into him. He did not drive him off the road. I realize that we are spitting hairs but it is not the same thing. Intentional or not the LH - Glock incident is what I would consider driving someone off the road. Even the Kimi - LH incident at Spa was borderline driving someone off the road.

People the subject is "I thought I was going to die" not relating to anyone else, this is scumacher we are discussing, therefore with that thought, back in those days he may have been a bit more considerate to other drivers, with the fear of death always behind every corner, but he didn't. He exacted revenge on Spa with coulthard at Magny cours and had a few run ins with Montoya, one clearly seen to continue to steer on the rumble strip to keep JM on the grass. enough said scumacher he is and always will be

“As for Hamilton, I personally don't beleive he tried to push Glock off the track, I don't think he realised how close he was. It was very wet at that point and you can't see out those next to useless mirrors at the best of times.”


How can you not realize how close you are when you are passing somebody on a straight away. This is a cop out, and rain had nothing to do with that. I would give him the benefit of the doubt, but this wasn't lulu's only incident, last year, when he deliberately was pushing somebody off their line without regard to the safety of the other pilot.

You cheatMacher **********s really love hitting out on Senna when the word is out on schu.

You shouldn't even spell Senna's name in the same sentence as cheatMacher.It's a big insult to Senna.

Also you brats know nothing about F1.I can remember cheatMacher pushing Frenzen DELIBERATELY off the line in high speed in Canada '98.That is one of many instances I can name about that ****ot.

I know I am in the minority, but I've always considered the incident with MS and JV to be as much JV's fault as MS's

Given the distance he was behind MS, the amount of speed JV was carrying, how deep and shallow JV had to take the corner, and the fact that he hit some dirt and rubbish brought onto the track earlier (clearly visible in all the available replays), I 100% doubt he would've been able to take the corner without running wide and possibly hitting MS anyway... Its pretty obvious in the replays that JV's car was starting to under-steer at about the same point MS turned in... MS was just too pigheaded to let JV have the corner

Really doesn't matter what you guys have to say... does it? All this discussion leads to nothing...
Schumi is/was the best...he has the numbers to prove it... done.
Senna wasn't alive for enough time unfortunately, but yes, he wasn't the cleanest driver out there either...
Next in line? Vettel!
