Same old, same old! :rolleyes:
It's obvious that changing user name doesn't help one.

It is getting ridiculous, isn't it? Now because an old champion is way past his prime, some people claim that he is on par with a guy who never won anything in F1. This shows how much hate some people have for MS for owning their favorite drivers for so long. I wonder whether Makinen is judged in the WRC for his final season, Foyt in Indy Car, etc...

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

The latter counts for little when comparing current performance of two drivers, which is independent of anything else.

Although Schumacher as you say is past his prime and Nico is certainly a very talented driver, to compare a driver yet to win a race to a man who won 91 and 7 world titles, is insane.

At this time, Nico is ahead of Michael at the moment but overall he does not compare yet.

If at the end of his career Rosberg has won 4 or 5 titles and won 50 odd races, then he is in the same ball park.

Weel at this time of the last practice, Micheal is ahead of Nico by over a minute a lap.

Of course, Nico will probably blame those new areo additions to the front of his car; you know, those things that look a lot like guardrails

MS parked at La Rascasse again :dozey:

DejaVu :p :

:laugh:

Schumacher had a great race on Sunday until his retirement and he was comfortably faster than his teammate throughout, even passing him at Loews hairpin. Sometimes he was 2-3 seconds a lap faster than Nico and was the 4th quickest car on the circuit pumping in times comparable to the leaders after his first pit stop. It appears there were no issues with Nico’s car but he did say that he wasn’t at his best. It was one of those days for Mercedes.
