I read in the paper yesterday about what various others including Stirling Moss were saying. Wasn't sure and I really don't know myself where I stand on it all. Schumacher did make a rough choppy block on Hill but Hill tried to pass when he should have been thinking I can't have caught up 20 seconds in two corners unless he hit the wall.
When Schumacher drove into Villeneuve he deserved and got severe punishment.
The thing on the plus side is that he has been the one and only for how many years. Prost had Senna, before that there were various such as Piquet, Rossberg and Jones who won championships. There were several on that top tier of F1 until Senna arrived and then only Prost could be regarded on the same level. When one driver can be that much better for that much longer he has to be on that top level. I notice too that Schumacher has been able to win in a car that is not the best one out there. Senna could never do that, Prost could, Stewart could, Clark could. So Schumacher has to be on the short list of greats.
Moss did say Senna was a fair and sporting driver which made me laugh after all the cars Senna ran off. He used to in fact if you slipstreamed past him veer over when you were half way past. He had no qualms about it and the FIA let him get away with it. It is completely natural then that Schumacher drove as he did. He learnt it from Senna and the FIA sanctioned it. If you want to blame someone blame the FIA
Very likely Aerodynamics are the big thing that has to be done over to improve the racing. Like get rid of front end splitters turned up undertrays. Barge Boards should go and so should fuel stops. and if they go back to the old 220 litre fuel tanks then the cars will lose a lot of Aero efficiency. What about all those winglets should ditch them too.
