MS @ Spanish GP

Hey Race, it's ok talking to yourself but when you start arguing with yourself you have problems and will get a little visit from the men in white coats :laugh:

How can you possibly ask yourself to post a link? I nearly fell for it, but double checked to see who you were talking to :p :

guilty as charged!

but I had myself a good laugh with myself though.

thanks for indulging me. :)

I would think MS knows a thing or two about setting up a car. Perhaps he is there to compensate for Kimi's weakness in this area? Then again, maybe he is using his trained eyes and experience to notice what the other teams are doing? Or, maybe he just likes hanging out with the gang on Sundays? Maybe he still owes the mechanics a year's supply of pizza?

We can speculate as much as we like, but only MS and perhaps Todt know why he is there.

I think that any team or driver that can afford to dismiss out of hand the experience of schumacher is a team with their head in the sand. he obviously has a wealth of information that any team would benefit from and ferrari obviously wont reveal what he's doing for them. why would they?

come on guys, i know a lot of you think schumacher is the anti-christ for some of his past mistakes but who here wouldnt want that experience on their fave team? I would.

Ioan posted a link a week or so back, when the technical director (was it him?) had nothing but absolute praise about Kimi's technical feedback.

Where do you get the opinion Kimi's is weak at setting up a car?

He might be good, but compared to MS' experience he might be weak! :p :

I think that for specific setup, i would rather go with kimis feedback. hes done thousands of miles in that car and as for setting it up for the optimum way he needs to drive, then hes not only the best person but the only person that can do it.

where schumacher would be of huge benefit is general advice, how to get the maximum out of the lap, where to maximise the car and squeeze a couple of thou. that sort of thing. particulaly for massa, that experience would be invaluable and im sure he benefitted from having his old mentor at hand whereas kimi wouldnt. i dout kimi would be flustered by schumacher being there, why should he. its just kimi is in his own zone and focused on his game.

Honestly I couldn't care less about how much Kimi needs or not MS. What I am happy with is that MS can and does help his team.
Ferrari always comes before the drivers.

That's what the discussion is about :rolleyes:

Flat.Tyres, nice to see someone who knows what they are talking about. Your analysis of the situation in your last post is spot on :up:

I also explained why I think that way.
