Am I the only Formula One Fan here?

Just asking.

Her is some news. (http://f1.racing-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/060425142237.shtml)

No, you are not.

I heard them say that Schumi may be the first athlete to ever break the 1 billion dollar mark in earnings. That is damn impressive. But I still think he is not as good as Senna was.

FH, I like F-1 I just don't have enough time anymore to catch up with what is going on. Personally I followed Juan Montoya over to F-1 and he's had a hardtime over there. Not the instant success I think everyone expected. Schumaker is good real good, but it goes to show when you have 100% factory support with talent=major success. About those cars, well they are pretty impressive to say the least.

While in the fatherland I watched for a bit. Got sick of all the Schumi-hype over there, however, and really Schumacher comes off as a spoiled twat IMHO.

I remember there was some Canadian driver with a punk cut who did well and seemed like a funny, likable dude. He was great one year and sucked the next.

What I don't like with F1 is that the point system seems almost rigged sometimes, in that someone like Schumacher gets and early lead and the season is all but over, so BFD. The cars and races are cool, though.

And just to piss off you fans, I have to add one other thing: I had a friend (hyper rich guy) with his own F1 Ferrari who offered to let me drive it and ... :whip:

spoiled twat
He's a German and aren't all Germans in Germany twats?:laugh: Look at Jeff Gordon, same thing a spoiled guy who has been given much with the qualities he uses effortlessly. I just would have a hard time figuring out the clutch and stuff since those car wring out some serious RPM's

That Canadian driver was probably Jacques Villeneuve. He won the Championship almost 10 years ago and hasnt really dont well sense.

I dont Schumacher as spoiled. He is always gracious to his team for their work and he has nevered threatoned to leave or holdout. His younger brother Ralph is another story. He things that all its takes is teh right last name to drive fast.

The past 2 seasons the points are a little different 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 for each spot 1 through 8. So now you see guys less likely to take risk if they are in second or third place cause the points are so close.

So did you drive it or not?:o
