for Christian Horner for keeping his word

Looks genuine to me.

Keeps giving it more and more lock and it doesn't turn. I know he doesn't always play fair, but that i think is a bit too obvious to be deliberate.(IMHO-2 days late)

While I reckon that Schumi is one of the best all time drivers, I think he has accumlated his 7 championships as a result of a combination of; talent, having a good car, being a 'thinking' racer, and being a dirty rotten cheat (given half a chance). He has pulled too many dirty moves over the years, its about time he had some punishment.

Shame Mclaren & Williams had reliability issues, as it was good to see a race on for the finish. Good result for DC though. It's a shame Renault can't build their road cars to be as reliable as the F1s.

I guess now Shumacher will be remembered for this more than his 7 championships

sad

Nah, don't think so. Have we forgot the early-career dirty tactics? To an extent, yes.

Look at Senna - IMHO the best (personal hero) But even I recognise that he was as dirty as sin sometimes.

Give it a few years following his retiral and all we'll remember is the devastating numbers and the race after race where he could simply run away and hide as he wished.

BTW, IMO it was a dumb move, but it's almost exactly the same as Jerez, when he tried to take out Villeneuve. He seems to do really thick things every now and again. Doesn't stop him being quantifiably the best we've seen in the last decade.
