Michael was the best driver in his generation, maybe of all time and I will always rate him very highly. But I think that he is now past his prime and getting desperate because of his ill fortune. And about this argument that the racing is not pure, stop it. Pure is an ideal, never a reality. We have good, entertaining racing. I don't want the bad all days, when overtaking was impossible, nor would I want a rule which penalizes smart drivers, who care about their tires. And I am sure that you don't either - but the Internet encourages moaning about all things, from F1 racing trough movies and music.

IMO the purposely shorter lasting tyres make a much less predictable and more fun racing, I prefer to watch this season than 2010 for example. I'm surprised the shoe is saying this, his career is so long now that surely he will have had to adapt his driving style at some other point in his career to suit different tyres! He should be a veteran to this by now.
Ha'wey Hamilton, bring the WDC crown home and the beers are on me :up:

I'm still with Schumi on this. F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. The drivers should be balls to the wall throughout the race and the fastest person with the fastest car over the course of a race should win. This is what true racing is about. Last year wasn't too bad, I felt they got it pretty spot on, but this year it's glaringly apparent that most of the drivers are nursing their cars throughout a race. While it's good for the show in all, it doesn't echo to me what F1 should be about and that is racing, not gently nursing your tyres. I don't blame Pirelli because this is what they were asked to do but overtakes because the guys tyres in front of you are shot and yours are in better shape don't give me excitement. I'd rather see a guy having to work for that overtake. It's up to F1 to find a solution that provides enjoyment for both the drivers and spectators. At the moment they have one but I'm will to suggest that if you ask any driver on the grid, they would much rather driver a 2004 spec F1 car with Bridgestones than todays ones.
