As title says, WHY?
What has he done that makes him so popular with you all?
I know he drives a Honda in F1, but so does Jenson and none of you pull your d**k over him.

Later boys.
Viva la Schumacher!

well if any of you guys follow the soccer as well, it's the 'japanese made good in europe' phenomenon

hide nakata has the same deal playing soccer in italy
junichi inamoto famously was an arsenal reserve, never played a game for the gunners but sold a lot of t-shirts
and shinji ono for feeyonord

the way they treat these guys in japan when they come back are like rock stars/big time celebs

and japan is the country of celeb worship/fads/the 'IT' girl/boy

but F1 is supposed to be multicultural etc - with all the new tracks like shanghai, bahrain etc, and all the drivers - you got an indian, japanese, a few italians, germans and brits

rest assured Honda will market Sato to the asian audience - china etc. all in the name of selling more cars/scooters/bikes

(end rant :D )

well i dont love him like the rest of u guys....but i find his driving very entertainin...not like the other drivers...hes not very calculated, but instead he jus goes for it n whatever happens, happens...he lives n dies by this method. And i think he must push the sh!t out fo the honda...last yr he blew some many engines, while button was finishin on the podium. Another particular race where i think Sato was comin 3rd or 4th n had Rubens in front of him with a few lapsto go n he jus went for glory, but it all failed, n once more the car was GOOOONE...hehhee...

off topic but ono played mad in the world cup, better than nakata i reckon =P

I was noting yesterday that there's a lot of diversity in where the drivers come from.
In order of points so far...
Spain, Italy, Finland, Italy, Germany, Australia, Germany, Columbia, UK, Germany, Brazil, Austria, Canada, Spain, Austria, Brazil, Italy.
10 different nationalities for 17 drivers. That's pretty cool.

yeh, i agree nakata is definitely over-rated now
probably the best guy for japan in 2002 world cup was inamoto?

anyway back to the topic before the post gets deleted :D

why is sato so (over)rated? i dunno
maybe cause of the asian factor
if australia wasn't such a 'multiculturally accepting' country we probably wouldn't give a damn about him - if there was say another country which wasn't so 'racially tolerant' he probably wouldn't get the airtime/news coverage/publicity

hoep that made sense?

Just because SATO IS GOD. Hehe, the fact that he is asian, and not many asians race in formula 1, makes it special. Plus he seems like a real nice guy, and isnt a twat like M and R Schumacher :)

sato aint bad.. and its just as much a ppl who love webber while he hasn't lived upto expectation as yet (another can of worms i know).

I dont mind sato.. he has a few flaws.. but he's also a very exciting driver to watch. One of the few who will make daring overtaking moves.

Sato is not god...
MICHAEL IS GOD.

Michael a twat?
At least he has scored points this year, unlike that god of yours! :p

Schumacher fans dont need to cry, we look around and he is everywhere and everyone is talking about him, remember Michael Schumacher is a house hold name.

Unlike, what is it?
I forgot, no one says it.
The other BAR driver, Jenson always gets the spot light cause he gets points.
What is the other blokes name?
Um....
Oh....
Sato I think it is :D

GO SCHUMACHER! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This is an image of what first place looks like, because your Sato lovers will never know! :p

Put schumacher in Sato's BAR and you wont see him there either ;)

I dont understand what makes Schumacher a twat? Like what's he done? He's always seeming happy and cheerful, he's got a sense of humour, unlike Juan. Got facial expressions, unlike Kimi and finally, wins, unlike sato (prepares flame suit lol). I am not dissing Sato, or any driver, what they can do is behond any of us, but I find it similar as most aussie's love Webber, and half of them would not know where the Australian Formula1 is held. My main question is about you all hating Schumacher? *has idea for new thread*:rolleyes:

This is a good point too, very good.

Yeah with the Jordan's...

I don't like Sato...well I'm impartial more than anything. I had never really given him much thought. I guess that's because I'm white with European background..

hehehe

I reckon Sato's an exciting driver, he's pretty racey which is a good thing, though i've noticed a lot of people are more racey this season, lots more overtaking...maybe its coz they have a serious chance of winning this year rather than fighting for second?

but anyways, Sato's good value, and that makes him good for spectators and the sport.


he's no Fisi though hahaha :D

Webber has lived up to some of his expectation.
He has qualified in the top 5 every race this year, only Alonso holds that with him.

He does score points (only minor ones)

Does a lot of testing for BMW-Williams and helps develop the car.
Just needs a damm podium.
He did have one, but a stupid mistake by Fisichella denied him that.

Sato doesn't do half as much as Webber (qualifying results and points etc)
He is over shadowed big time by Jenson.

He is Japan's most popular sports personality, highest paid too and one of Japan's most eligible...

That's what I heard from the TV that is......

Schumacher's head is tiny compared to David Coulthards.

Jus-10
11-05-2005, 04:25 PM
I prefer Sato to Jenson though, that's for sure! I realise now why I had never paid him (Sato) much attention. Being a Schumey fan I have only ever been watching the drivers up front....

The Webber thing I guess is a bit of an anti-climax. Alot of people expected him to win becasue he was in one of the big-team cars. It will come for him but he is going to have to be patient. He is working with an obviously inferior car at this stage, but he is putting in the time and effort. Any one hear Sir Frank say how already Webber has spent more time visiting their workshop than Montoya ever did!

All this talk about the BAR Hondas is actually making me miss them.

jackosimm
11-05-2005, 04:51 PM
lol I hadn't heard about webber in the workshop! However, lol i strongly believe he would spend more time in there than Montoya, he was only in there to throw spanners at the mechanics:p

Vivski
11-05-2005, 05:05 PM
Haha. I can see that. Anyone seen Dodgeball? "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a dodgeball."

Schumacher doesn't have a big head, it's just LONG! He needs a custom helmet. I'm surprised it doesn't make him slower... all that wind resistance from his forehead.

jackosimm
11-05-2005, 05:26 PM
lol and the wrench smacks him square in the head! Wouldnt be suprised if it happened in the ol' bmw shed, damn montoya....:p

Rubens also has a pretty big jaw line...

jackosimm
12-05-2005, 07:18 AM
Rubens definetly has a big forehead, that face would have to be the most easily recognised out of all F1 I reckon, just from people who have seen him once off on tv, theyd remember that odd face, did that make any sense
