F1 losers so far 2007

[nugget1]

bullshit, schumacher was crap. he was such a prick that if he was going to lose he'd smash others off the track.

Michael Schumacher is unquestionably the best driver ever, he's broken every record!
Ok he's had a few indiscretions (as did Senna) but that comes from having a highly competitive nature.
The races where he started at the back of the grid and finished on the podium is some of the best driving you could wish to see.
He may appear arrogant but he is full of confidence and self belief and that is what made him the best driver ever!

that and he smashed opponents off the track

Senna used to do that too. Can't blame them when they are full of adrenaline and are pressured to win.

no respect

no respect

Alain Prost also did that to Senna.

In motorsport, there is no respect. There are only penalties that they should avoid and winning. If there wasn't any penalties for damaging opponent's cars, they would probably be ramming their nosecones into the rear suspension of the car in front.

How would that help one win a race?!?!? Either you'd retire with damage or have to come in for a new nose.

Well if you're leading the championship table and there are only 1 or 2 races to go, of course ramming it into another car could help you win it!

The biggest looser so far i think is Kimi... 40 or so Million a year and he's getting beaten by a 6 million dollar a year protégé of Mr. Todt jr. (And reportedly Schumi himself....)

I think Kimi has been left in the cold by Ferrari this year... (What a mistake it was to leave Macca ehy? Maybe he is suffereing from JV syndrome... Wrong teams at the wrong time...)

[aaronng]

^^ Yeah, not McLaren's fault. Kimi doesn't know how to conserve his engine like how Schumacher and Alonso do.

Well Montoya had his fair share of engine problems too or suspension failures.
So it was a bit of a McLaren problem but the team did say they've finally fixed it.

I actually think Kimi is getting there. The times are closer and closer to Massa (sometimes faster). I think he's just a lazy guy relying too much on his 'instinctive' ability rather than using his head or working around the solution using any brain power at all. So he was a bit complacent with the older driving style and tyres. When he learns the car right, one would hope he'll become better again.

Yeah. Back during 2005 when he was in close contention for the championship, you could tell that he gave away quite a few points from pushing his car too hard (due to his instinct of wanting to win). He's different from Hamilton, who knows when to cool it and when you turn the heat up.

Wonder when the RBR cars will start being a bit more reliable and get Mark up into the points and even maybe a podium... Next year perhaps?

The car does seem fast but just really unreliable...
