F1 STORY OF THE YEAR!
Posted by Ellis
Maybe he shud have phrased it better. Im sure the medi made it look worse than it is, but even if this jist of this is true. Mr TeamOrders, the man who got gifted the win in Austria because he wasnt good enough to beat his team mate, who he has every advantage over, moans about team orders? :|

But McLaren boss Ron Dennis denied they had ordered Schumacher to move aside
Why would he admit to asking Schumacher to move aside?

you'd think that with shumacher supposedly being the best driver in the world that nothing would bother him
you'd think he'd use his god given skills to out drive around every problem and would'nt need to have a contract drawn up that allows him preferential treatment over his team mate.
LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

When you mentioned boots i thought you were going to say somthing about being in the check out queue and having some discussion with your 'team' about getting to the front of the queue, but as long as you were on a different shopping strategy (say had to be in woolworths next) then thats OK

Yes Alex. Me and everybody else in this thread until you came in missed the point totally didnt we
Quite simply, yes!

I've said this many times before. Michael doesn't have a terribly good command over the English language (not like his brother, for example), so things he says are often misunderstood and taken to be arrogant comments. The people who do not like him jump on the chance to flame him for it. I have no idea whether they're just not perceptive enough to appreciate this, or whether they do realise how he struggles with the language but just wish to flame him anyway.

You're always far too cynical, LS. You rarely see a Schumacher fan implying he has god-given skills (I may have said it once or twice as a joke, in response to your sarcasm).
If Raikkonen or Montoya or Barrichello or Ralf or Coulthard have their day, then I always concede that Michael has been beaten, and that that driver has been the best. I don't see the point in pretending otherwise (unlike much of the anti-MS brigade, who are physically incapable of saying a good word for him).
Concerning the team situation at Ferrari, it's impossible for a driver to beat his team mate 100% of the time. You seem to think that Schumacher fans seem to think he is a God, absolutely invincible. Well I can tell you that I don't. He makes mistakes as we've seen. He is sometimes just off the pace, and Rubens has the measure of him. But both those things are rare. Very rare relative to pretty much every other driver on the grid. And it is a fact: Schumacher beats his team-mate the vast majority of the time. And you cannot use the excuse that he has preferential treatment. In the car, on the track, that does not make a difference. And that's where Michael often pulls things out of the bag and performs on that level above everyone else. I don't think he is a God. I think he is better than everyone else. He has the ability (and as F1 Racing magazine concluded, only Alonso currently appears shares this ability) to reserve a certain amount of brainpower (for want of a better word) to think about his strategy, while at the same time slamming in awesomely fast lap times in the middle of the race. He does it consistently. No other drivers do (we saw Alonso do it in Barcelona, but he's struggled a bit recently). Montoya did some exceptionally quick laps at Monaco before his pitstop, and that was supremely impressive at that of all circuits, but how often does he do it? That's the only time I've ever seen him do it. Do you see my point?
They're my thoughts, anyway. It's a shame I had to put them in this silly thread.

Yeah right Alex. You are right and everyone else is wrong.
Thats where i stopped reading your post, when you claimed that everyone (but you) had missed the point.

But if you read my post above my last one, you'll realise that you did miss the point. There's no point arguing, you plain and simply misunderstood what Michael was saying.

All Michael is trying to say is that if Michael passed Rubens the same way as Kimi passed DC, all hell would have broken loose and everyone would be shouting "Ferrari cheated" but if some other team does it, nothing is said at all.
DC clearly lifted and moved to the right and let Kimi drive past at Silverstone.
ms lifted for rubens in san marino and no one said a word.
and that was more obvious.
i thought kimi passed dc fairly as it looked like dc made a mistake.
