Moss takes another swipe at Schumi

[Andy B]

I agree with CD Schumi is not the only one, nobody mentions Senna taking Prost out which to me was about the worst in the way it was done. So to be fair I wish everyone would stop poking him with a sharp stick as it will spill over onto others.

[Canada Darrell™]

We all know the reason nobody ever mentions Senna is that he died young and at the top of his game and to quote the old Spanish saying "Speak no ill of the dead"

That and the fact he was a Brazilian F1 racer pretty much guarantees a future Sainthood and eternal martyrdom.

My point is that whoever you put on a pedistal has some dirt that can be dug up on them that maybe the difference between those who are on top of the game and those who are not.

Maybe that's what separates them?If Senna or Shumi was
Massa do you think they would have let Alonso by?hell no
they'd have took the win and started looking for another ride

No way on earth would Senna or Schumacher have pulled over. 

[John S]

No way Alonso or Hamilton would either... HeHe.

In days of team orders and broken legs, Schumacher did help Irvine to score points.  He may have done so grudgingly, but when the chips are down, he was a team player... even if he did what he could to stack the chips in his favour.

[Scott]

No comparison.  Schumacher had more to gain by gifting Irvine points than himself at that point (unlike Massa, or Coulthard, or Barrichello or Irvine in seasons when Schumacher drove every race).  At least he would have been on a championship team (but wasn't as it turned out).

That season was a perfect example of Schumacher's real talent. When he got hurt, the car began a slow slide down the grid. Whatever else he was or wasn't, when full blown testing was allowed, he was the best. And I don't like him at all. Also, I don't ever remember anyone accusing Clark of any kind of dirty driving either.

F1 racing was a different game then Lonny, they were mostly all friends, plus they knew how dangerous it was with no safety factors, if you pushed a driver off the circuit then there was a good chance of killing them.
