Alonso vs. Schumacher

[wedge]

It seems there's still bad blood between the two

If Mercedes have their car dialed in by Europe, then we're in for an Schumi V. Alonso showdown once again. I really want to see the Schumi kick butt against Alonso and get some payback for '06 and '07.

The oven is just heating up......

How lovely that Schumacher still bothers that jerk so much :laugh:

Funny part:

Alonso told my Spanish colleagues on Sunday that Schumacher should have “taken the matter up with the stewards, rather than the TV cameras.”

Looks like MS did take the matter directly to Alonso, but Fernando preferred to complain about the face to face in the press.

I think that it's a bit like Vader vs Obi-wan in A New Hope:
- You should not have come back, old man...

Still it'll also be interesting to see the reactions of diehard tifoso who have a soft spot for Schuey too.. What a dilemma.. :)

Which just shows that you know nothing about the Tifosi.

All Michael's previous success with the Prancing Horse will mean nothing come the day, if it comes, when he sticks it to the Scuderia.

At the moment, there is a soft spot for him still simply because he hasn't threatened to do that.

If he does, and does it regularly, it will make the Tifosi's relationship with Ferrari's drivers and Ferrari management a little heated to say the least, but there will be no love for Michael either.

This will be an interesting relationship to watch and I expect the media to make more of it than what it actually is.

It's a bit difficult not to like the driver who gave Ferrari 5 WDC titles and 7 WCC titles plus a truckload of wins and pole positions.

I am also rather sure he wouldn't be driving a Mercedes if not for LdM's antics back in 2006, also I am rather sure that LdM was the only Ferrari person who ever wanted to see MS leave.

So Alonso is winning the ontrack battle, and Schumi is winning the offtrack battle.

They should both be quite satisfied to be winning something.

By Schumie you must mean Alonso's Bitch.

[Saint Devote]

Its not "bad blood", it is two champions sparring at the start of a season.

Alonso seeks to achieve what Schumi did at Ferrari after doing what "Herman the German" did while at Renault.

Schumi, in turn, would love to beat Alonso and put to rest the 2005 and 2006 defeats, proving at the same time just how wrong dear old Luca was.

Its a healthy situation and if it was not that way THAT would be unusual.

I very much agree with Ioan and Saint Devotes sentiments here apart from the last sentence.

I think Luca is responsible for safeguarding the future of Ferrari and while he may respect and appreciate the achievements of the Schumacher / Brawn / Todt era, must still look at the next stage of Ferrari's history. That way lies with the likes of Alonso.

It was always going to be a difficult exercise closing off that chapter of the Ferrari story but sometimes a clinical slash is the best way.

[goodf1fun]

this is the way Schumacher will up his game...with war...

[Mia 01]

This far, Alonso is superior.

[Tazio]

How lovely that Schumacher still bothers that jerk so much :laugh: And how sad that Fred is going to punk him yet again!

C'est la vie! :s mokin:

From your lips to Gods ear! ;)

Alonso is no MS, and MS is no MS.

There can be only one, thats Kimi.

But when he left, Kimi was no Kimi :rotflmao:

[Saint Devote]

Its just journalist bs.

They are rival drivers in f1 - all the drivers have those whom they are friendly with and others that they cant stand or are neutral about.

But idiot journalists looking for that new Prost-Senna feud thing are pretty dimwitted and never experienced what happened at the time.

James Allen ought to be taken behind a motor home and "set right". The jerk off!

[Saint Devote]

Well with all the expectation pre season of how many races people thought Schuey would win, and its looking more likely now that he won't win a single race. This is down to a number of factors of course and most being out of his control, but this would be the first season since 1991, where he hasn't scored a win. Just goes to show how unpredictable F1 can be.

Schumi is dialing in that car. It is a logical definite process.

To assume he is not going to win a grand prix in 2010 is a highly risky statement where Schumacher is concerned especially when there are 13 grands prix ahead.

[Mia 01]

MS has loosed some of his edge, and so has the Brawn car but you could also say that about MacLaren and Lewis, Ferrari and Alonso.

MS will win a race or two this year.

Alonso has been trying too hard at times and Lewis needs to find who makes Button's lucky pants in races with changeable conditions.

Will need a bit more time whether the new LWB/front suspension geometry of the Merc has helped Schumi find his mojo.
