Who thinks Schumacher finally should retire?

Merc fails Michael another time... pathetic.

Would it have made much difference if he had finished. Outclasses by his team mate again

Don't worry Knock On. He will find something to blame :laugh:

1) In qualifying Mercedes doesn't tell him that he is running out of time and therefor he cannot do a fast lap
2) In race 1 second behind Nico and being held up, Mercedes calls him to pit - he gets stuck behind another load of drivers (di Resta) and is unable to pass, as was the case for quite a few drivers yesterday actually. So in reality he was screwed over by bad choices by the pitlane in both quali and in the race.

Yesterday was full of team blunders and poor luck, but he's had his fair share of brain fades of late with have cost him dearly. His crash with Senna in Spain was a prime example of getting it completely wrong and costing himself and the team valuable points. I hope to see him improve further because it is good for the sport, but the truth of the matter is, he is no longer as good as he was and able to realistically challenge the younger guys in the top teams. I hope he steps away with dignity at the end of the season and allows a driver with long term potential to build himself within the team and bring Merc the results they are very capable of achieving.

Other than the very obvious idiotic move on Senna, what other brain fades has he had this year?
Perhaps Shanghai where his tyre fell off?

Was he or was he not outclassed by Nico?

Make excuses all you want but if this was Kimi you would call him a Car breaker. When the car isn't breaking then he's bumping and if not, manages to finish with a single point. Is that all the car's capable of?

You're getting more like ioan every day. Cry me a river :p

Are you menstruating?

Find a post where I have ever called Kimi a car-breaker or hell, even find a post where I have attacked him with venom. Funnily enough you won't find one because he is among my very favourite drivers.

But really, your "arguments" are on the level of a justin bieber fanboy here, I expected somewhat more from you.

The tyre falling off thing was an obvious joke. The incident at Spain `with Lewis was not a brain-fade, but just a stupid move which doesn't in any way make his season better or worse quality wise. Bieber did worse to Senna at Canada. The reality is that other than the incident with Senna, he hasn't really done anything wrong this year.

That incident alone was lucky not to attract a ban for the race or at least being sent to the back of the grid. When you consider the penalty Lewis recieved for not having enough fuel, a reprimand for taking a short cut and attempting to stop a competitor on the final chicane is rather inconsistant IMO.

---

The penalty for Lewis was a joke.

To be honest Michael has lost so many front wings over the past 2 and a half season's due to mistakes its difficult to filter them out between seasons. Its probably as difficult as finding an English Schumacher supporter at Silverstone. :D

---

So basically when you said he has had many brain-fades as of late, you really had one example to show and the rest come from 1 year ago which have little to do with the current situation?

This kind of post is pretty low-class. You have been warned for insults in the past and basically this is another one, which warrants a warning...

Also Knock-on and whoever discusses with Garry Walker should avoid getting personal as well. You know that after that the quality of discussion goes off the rails.
