Well, again a Pro-Con Schumacher argument... Just one thing to add: what some people misses in Schumacher's behavior is not if he apologizes or if he does not.
The evident problem Michael has is that he is never generous with his opponents, not even with his team. He always have some small pinprick for everybody. His cumpliments are perfunctory (or he has a strange smile, I do not know).
I have already told this: I really do not know if Schumacher enjoys driving. He certainly enjoys winning. And I am ready to bow to him: he is a great driver.
But I will try to make you understand my point of wiew with a couple of stories that touched my soul (apologies in advance for anyone if Hitler's mention touches a raw nerve, I do not mean to compare Schumi, who is a driver, with somebody like Adolf or his cronies, who were criminals):
FIRST STORY (taken from "
http://www.ddavid.com/formula1/story1.htm#The Greatest Victory of all time", great site):
'The Greatest Victory of all time
Before an estimated crowd of 300,000 fanatical German fans, Nazi officials and Adolf Hitler the German Grand Prix of 1935 was held. The Mercedes team consisted of Fagioli, von Brauchitsch and Caracciola while Auto Union had Stuck, Rosemeyer, and Varzi.
... Nuvolari instead drove a modified Alfa P.3 but suffered from a 50-100 bhp handicap compared to the German cars...
...Going into the last lap he (Nuvolari) was still 30 seconds behind the leader von Brauchitsch and all seemed lost yet never did Nuvolari slow down. Von Brauchitsch aware of Nuvolari's progress through the ranks from his pit crew drove his car at the limit and in so doing destroyed his tires. One let go a half lap from the finish and Nuvolari streaked to victory.
"At first there was deathly silence," MotorSport reported, "and then the
innate sportsmanship (my emphasis) of the Germans triumphed over their astonishment. Nuvolari was given a wonderful reception."
This admiration for a great champion was not shared by the representatives of the Third Reich. Korpsführer Hühnlein angrily tore up his victory speech as Nuvolari was crowned victor. The Italian flag was hoisted after much searching and to add salt to the Nazi's wound Nuvolari produced a record of the Italian anthem that he had brought with him for good luck. The Korpsführer was not amused. This scene would be repeated a year later when another underdog by the name of Jessie Owens would make history.'
End of the story.
Do you imagine Schumacher in the place of Von Brauchitsch? Or do you imagine him in the place of Hühnlein? Does he have
innate sportmanship? Please, do not make me laugh, I have a sore lip...
SECOND STORY, same source, French Grand Prix, 1953:
' Race of the Century
...The crowd of course was going wild and could actually observe Hawthorn grinning at the Argentinean driver as they raced abreast along one of the long straights. Fangio tried every trick he knew to shake this young pretender but to no avail...
.. While the two leaders were engrossed in their race long duel they came upon a much slower car. Entering the right hand curve following the pits there would be room for only one car, but
with a gesture unheard of in current Grand Prix racing Hawthorn pulled his car over as far as he dared. With two wheels actually on the grass both he and Fangio could pass together and continue their battle (my emphasis). The crowd upon hearing this let out a roar of approval (my comment: this is what makes you love the Britons).
Fangio using all of his experience forced his way pass Hawthorn and was leading the race as it entered its last laps. But Hawthorn was not done yet...
Time was running out as they entered the last lap with Fangio leading by one car length but upon entering the last corner Hawthorn had pulled up even. Hawthorn braked at the last possible instant and took a slightly different line which allowed him to out accelerate Fangio's Maserati upon exiting the corner. Hawthorn was able to hold his car on the track and he crossed the line one second ahead of Fangio after 309 miles and 2 hr. 44 min. of racing...
...In winning the race he became the first Englishman to win a Grand Prix since Richard Seaman won the German Grand Prix in 1938.'
End of the second story.
When was the last time you saw
somebody (not only Schumi, please) showing this kind of respect for his opponent? And let me tell you this: in Latin America is a mortal sin to try to "save face". You are taught since your childhood to learn from your mistakes, and covering them is a blatant admission you are in fear (think about it next time you have a "tennis" accident, Juan Pablo).
hillarious boys or should i say girls.
