I'm no fan of his tactics,but MS has too much talent not to win a race in the current field. Some say his former era was contested by untalented drivers.They are very much mistaken IMHO. Hakkinen,Alesi and Alonso could have raced in any era in my opinion. If Schumacher fails to win a race this season,come back and hit me a slap on this thread. Onward and upwards.
Schumacher is still a top driver. No one can rule him out. I'd love to see him fight for the title, but I guess it all depends on the car. Manny wrote a great piece about him which I promoted to the main page: http://www.not606.com/content.php/196-Why-Schumi-has-a-realistic-chance
Yes according to Manny's 'excellent' anti Rosberg article "Rosberg should keep his trap shut, until he wins a race." I'm going to find a slap smiley in preparation irishgreen. I can't see it - agree he has talent, of course he has he's 7 WDC's but he's up against an incredibly tough crowd now. Vettel, Webber, Rosberg, Hamilton, Button, Kubica, Alonso, Massa... If he does win I think it'll be under extraordinary circumstances - or Brawn has built a beast.
I was just about to say Massa had a decent car and couldn't manage it. Then I remembered. Think that's it in a nutshell!
Sorry chaps,I just don't buy into this....."too much talent"....."still a top driver" malarkey. He's what 42 now ? ,racing against much younger,sharper guys,all keen to make a mark for themselves. He WAS a great driver yes,but I just cannot see him competing with these younger guys now.
If you have a problem, type your messages directly to me, my articles include facts. Calling me a fanboy on a thread that I have not posted on is the work of a coward.
I don't think MS age has anything to do with him be able to win races, he kept himself busy when out of F1 and considering last year was his first year back he done well driving a car that was meant for JB, I think Mansell was a similar age to MS when he won the WDC with Williams give or take a couple of years, cant be fecked to google... 42 believe it or not is not that old ffs and give this kid (MS) the car he needs and he will win races, fully expect a few podiums from MS this season.
If the car is capable, ms could snatch a win on a day Hamilton or Vettel have issues However I just cannot see him overcoming them boys of all been equal
