Is Schumacher missed?

Is he realy?
when he retired i thougth i was gonna hear about him at every race
but i barely do
and he actually attended three gps,and all what they say about him is (oh...thats Michael Schumacher)and thats it
no what ifs,no nothing....even websites are not mentioning him
i think Hamilton has something to do with that.

==============================

i don't know what f1 u are follow but i can see him in all places.

and the answer to ur subject is that u are mentioned him here thank u for that,

I miss him. Ferrari definitely miss him. People who don't like him won't miss him.
He's not giving interviews.
What's the point?

Yes and no. No, because I like seeing Ferrari being the force they once were. And yes because this season for me at least has been weird with him not racing on track.

Hell yes I miss him. Ferrari without a doubt miss him. ALL TIFOSI miss him.

If Luca hadn't shown his ass and threw a hissy fit to get Kimi in a Ferrari Schumi would still be winning races, as well as bitch slapping Hamilton on the track every race weekend so we wouldn't have to put up with the media adulation of that insufferable little twit in his Mclaren....

We've been fortunate that the first year of the post-Schumacher era has been an absolutely storming championship battle so far, and because of that it's easier to cope with Michael not being on the track. But there's always that little bit of me which goes, "IF Michael was here, this battle would be even tighter!"

For sure I miss him, and i'm sure Ferrari miss that strong work ethic and fighting mentality too, and the fact he probably couldve wrung that F2007 into a championship leading or close to it, position by this point.

I dont miss him at all tbh.

I missed mika when he left and i missed senna when he died.

I did not miss mansell, prost, piquet, alesi, berger either.

Drivers come and go and ms was one of them.

I don't miss him but I'd have liked to see him fight with Lewis and Alonso, but if he was still at Ferrari it would mean Felipe would have never had the chance to grab those poles and victories.

By the way, haven't you guys heard anything about Michael building up his own team if ProDrive doesn't make it to the grid next year?

I think Schumacher is really missing driving tbh, i'm 100% sure that he'd rather be in one of those cars than as his current advisor role.
The development of the Ferrari is not going as well as it would have if Schumacher, Brawn and co were still there imo. Why doesn't Schumacher do a bit of testing for them? Or is he not allowed?

I don't miss him, I'm a McLaren fan!

I'd imagine it'll be back to the panel, and those seemingly hundreds of potential teams which applied, such as what Jean Alesi was working on.

Yup, I agree. Schumacher's missing driving more than we're missing him driving. He does look like he's a bit forlorn not having any specific targets. I'm not even going to rule out a competitive return, but I guess the chances are it won't be F1. I can't really see him doing testing to be honest. He wasn't the most dedicated tester even when he was getting the end product.

well, i for one don't watch f1 with the same enthusiasm as last years!!! i miss him alot, his driving...it seems that now the drivers can't do anything, but that's life...to bad he retired

Scuderia Ferrari Forever

What do you mean? The drivers can't do anything?

And I don't really miss him, but it was strange in Australia that he wasn't there. Since I have been watching F1, he has always been there.

Maybe he'll go down the DTM route like so many ex-F1 drivers.

Everytime I see an onboard view of a Ferrari driver, I miss the precision with which Michael was able to drive...
When I watched MS driving in Qual sessions last years, I always feared he would be P1. Now It's just a laugher. ATM, there is no way a Ferrari driver to be P1!

I'm even quiet sure Schumacher could win races in THIS ferrari, as it's probably as fast as the McLaren. Only the drivers are performing very badly these days. (shame for kimi though!)

Look at the drivers in Indy today. We'll for sure see a ferrari onboard. Just look how many times they need to turn to get it right in some corners, how many times they just don't drive on the ideal line etc. They both loose time in 2 corners on the track. (left corner after S1, they run too wide near the end, and the slow chicane ==> they turn in too much on the right side of the track. Cause of this they loose much corner speed. This are mistakes M. Schumacher NEVER made!!

I say this as McLaren fan. I'm sure McLaren would have a very hard year with MS in that red car

I did find F1 to be more boring without him even there is much more competition in front now.

Anyway Im enjoying watching McLaren beating Ferrari so clearly and how even BMW is catching them. And Im really waiting to see how much situation will change when MS gets behind steering-wheel..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

I don't think you can blame the drivers for that, obviously the car is not performing as it should and that's due to a number of factors. If Schumacher et al were still with the team the car would be a damn sight better than it is at the moment as Schumacher's technical skills would have sorted out some of the cars deficiencies, neither Massa nor Raikkonen are good as good at developing a car.

I recall Schumi saying he'd never be a team manager or have his own team
