It doesn’t matter if he did a little differently or exactly the same as Senna did (which is impossible) people will try to find a way to condemn him, not Senna.

If Senna crashes into someone, it’s ok.
If Michael Ownen dives for a penalty kick, it’s ok.
If Schumacher does something like that it’s not ok.
Its funny because we live in a town call hypocrisy where people are talking about fairness, yet they fail to recognize that they are not acting too fairly.

Don’t get me wrong, I think crashing into someone is just wrong, no matter what. Both should be remembered that way, equally.

It was not Michael Shumacher presentation. But it was Pele’.
It was definitively lack of good taste on Kimi part, to say the least.

There is no need to be British see that Schumacher’s driving ethics were seriously lacking in Adelaide when he took Hill out of the race,….and of course Schumacher wouldn’t express regret for what happened because his action had won him the WDC instead of Damon Hill so to express regrets would be to admit that he had won the championship unfairly.

The situation was Schumacher had 92 points and Hill was on 91 which meant that either could take the championship by finishing in front of the other. Schumacher’s action not only put himself out but also ended the race for hill,…neither driver scored points which means Schumacher “won” the WDC.

A lot of you have expressed frustration at the fact that Schumacher cites Jerez, and not Adelaide, as his biggest regret.

I’m also betting most of you are British. Not trying to pick a fight here, but, there’s more than enough evidence to suggest that the Hill incident was simply a racing incident.

Maybe Schumacher doesn’t cite it as a regret because he didn’t intentionally ram Hill? And one that makes sense, considering that he has essentially admitted that Jerez was intentional, but has never done the same for Adelaide.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have very fond memories of the 1997 season, and the great battle between Schumacher and Villeneuve. I think it was a great shame that the two of them didn’t battle it out on any other occasions for the World Title.

Am I right that Villeneuve was the only driver to go into a final race World Title showdown trailing Schumacher on points and coming through to win?

I think he won on merit. He completely dominated and destroyed his competition. During his years I think most drivers gave up trying to beat him until Alonso gained the upper hand. He probably respects Hill more than Villeneuve.

That’s because Senna would at least give the other driver the heads up…He told Prost before the race that he was going to crash into him! (not to mention the previous history between them).

Our Local sport station (TSN-Toronto). We used to have ITV but since BBC got the rights they switched to BBC.
