Well, if this weekend's events are a major barometer, it is high time for Herr Schumacher to take that well-deserved long vacation.
You're past it, boy. Face facts... :s

Of course, it's up to him, not external observers, but what I find puzzling is the manner in which he seems willing to accept being second-best or worse. This is not the Schumacher we know of old.
Unfortunately, his frustrations are starting to appear on track now.Quote:

Time to revoke his Licence.
terrible incident with rubens and I think it merits some kind of grid place penalty for the next race.
But finishing 11th in a race with a car that is obviously ( and I can hardly beleive what I am saying) no match for the Williams right now is not exactly a terrible job worthy of immediate retirement.
It is obvious the car is not that competitive, and seemingly getting less so with every race, so its hard to know how much of it is him and how much of it is the car. I still say wait till the end of the year and probably give him another. Even Yamamoto driving a RBR, Ferrari, or mclaren would be finishing in the points and maybe winning a race or two. If MSC was in any of those cars, we would all be having a different discussion.
You've got a grudge with him, obviously. First you accuse him of trying to kill Rubens, then you ask for his license to be revoked.Quote:

MS did a dangerous move today and he has to be/was punished, however he didn't do it out of carelessness or lack of control.
PS: Don't know why but you remind me of an old 'friend' around here, he used to call himself Knock-on. He also hated MS like you do. ;)
I agree, but what we are seeing is a driver displaying none of the positive attributes of what made him great in the first place. What is there to praise about that?Quote:

All this gnashing of teeth, wailing and predictions of dire consequences by so many is quite funny actually.
Michael Schumacher has always been my guy, and he's still one of the greatest to slap on an F1 car -- but what he did today with Rubens was just stupid, and dangerous.
After what I saw today, well, he could be forced out of F1.
:rolleyes:
