I have no doubt that Michael will stand on not just the podium but the top step again!

I hope it's in Spa this year as I will be there to see it then.  :yahoo:

I am with you David, and possible Spa may be one of the several that he will stand on the top of the podium..

Though i am still bitter about his move on Senna in Spain..

Considering Haug has admitted that they designed the 2012 car to suit Schumacher's style of driving, and that the team have continued to treat Nico as a clear number two in spite of his excellent performances, I can't see what else the team could do to help the cheat get better results.
Many of you will remember that Schumacher in the past said of other drivers, that poor car reliability was the responsibility of the driver and how they treated the car. So based on his own opinions, this years failures may be due to the way he drives    :P

For the sake of clarity and balance, can you post any interviews you have to back that up so I/we can look at the context that he may or may not have said something like that?

Schumacher may be quick to blame other drivers, but I don't recall him every saying anything bad about his team, including his #2 drivers (publicly).  It would certainly fit his 'team building myth' to take the blame for a Ferrari falling apart on track.  (Of course, back then MS put so many miles on the car, if there was a flaw he didn't detect, it really was his fault)

what is this; a court case?
I am fairly sure I have watched and read various reports for every F1 GP for the last 25years. I have personally heard and read reports of Schumacher saying that other peoples reliability problems were 'their own responsibility' and he claimed that he had more mechanical sympathy than other drivers. Funnily enough I do not have recordings or posts from every year of Schumacher's career.   :crazy:

I'm sure I've heard Michael saying other peoples reliability problems are "their own responsibility". However my memory is that such an answer was to questions about other teams, or drivers, abilitiy to challenge him due to DNFs from mechanical failure.

I'm not certain that I've ever read, or heard for that matter, Michael directly blame reliability issues on drivers. I'm sure most of us have either a short or long list of car breaking drivers, so no doubt Schumi has his own list and may have made reference on the subject at some time.
