Michael was a very cynical competitor. You think very highly of him. Rosberg does something at Monaco that appears cynical, but not enough to pin him. You diminish him, and bore the rest of us, by never letting go and constantly calling him a cheat.

Michael was a cynical competitor that won 7 WDC. If a driver of his talent comes along again and does what he did without the cynicism and cheating, then I will rate them as the most complete driver ever.
As for Rosberg the Cheat, he's nowhere near the level Schumacher used to be and has only one a few races. I don't care if I bore you chap. You're just another germ on the internet to me. I can take or leave you. You may or may not read my posts. Choice is yours! Either way, it has no impact on my life

Interesting point to make is maybe the level of Schumacher in his comeback. He clearly wasn't quite at the level of pre 2006
However given the quality Rosberg clearly has, maybe Schumacher matching him wasn't too bad after all.
Just a thoughtI still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

So what you're saying is, you get seduced by the stats?
Rosberg has only had a race winning car since 2012. Schumacher, since the start of his career. Rosberg started winning as soon as he got into a race winning car. I remember Schumacher's early wins, he was pretty fortunate. Mansell would've had him at Belgium, til electrical problems held him back late. Prost could've won in Portugal, but let Schumacher have the win, since 2nd would seal the title. There's also the very suspicious 94 Benetton. It's interesting that Schumacher's huge success started once the sporting regs meant there was a bigger influence from the pits. As in, not as a result of his driving.
I don't know. Using the term "germ", a personal jibe, suggests it might have a teeny weeny impact?
I remember at the start of 10. Everybody banging on about how successful Schumacher was going to be, Rosberg was going to get shown up. Nowadays? Fans go on the internet and reflect in glowing terms of what was a mediocre three seasons. Hehehe

Or maybe an indication that Rosberg is underrated. I'm surprised he has pushed Hamilton so hard in both qualifying and in the races.
I'm probably Schumacher's biggest critic, but I am going to take it easy on him until he's doing better. Picking on a guy who is fighting for his life just doesn't seem right to me.Last edited by Doc Austin; 3rd September 2014 at 02:25.

I would argue that it's difficult, if not impossible, to judge a modern driver's 'completeness' given the range of information at their disposal from the pits. Does the concept of a 'complete' driver exist any more?
It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
