Well, Look at all the bad luck Schumacher had in the first races this season and I think they are even.

But the qualifying averages always shows how fast Hamilton/McLaren were this season. McLaren really wasted it this year.

Tomorrow I have an exam 1 hour before the race. And the forecast for the time of the exam is heavy rain as in São Paulo, 400 KM away from here.

Might be a crazy day. lol

Come on now, let's give this pro-Schumi stuff a rest. You play the hand you're dealth with. Hamilton is in the same boat, yet no-one is bemoaning his lack of luck throughout the year.

Despite this last year Schumi is still a 7-time World Champion with more wins and pole positions than anyone else in the history of F1. Can't we just be happy with that?

I think if Schumacher had a 'normal' amount of bad luck this year, rather than the 'excessive' amount he's had, I suspect he'd have been around the 80-90 point mark, just like Rosberg. Which really is the limit of that car, which is what both drivers have done for the most part this year. So unlike 2010, Schumacher has basically been on par with Rosberg for 2011 and 2012, all things considered.

There's some logic in Maldonado's penalty that I really dislike. He's missed the weighbridge and wasn't returned by his team immediately. Thus the penalty for ignoring, purposefully or otherwise, a call to be weighed is now much less than the penalty for being underweight. With the Vergne and Webber incidents, where the teams immediately returned the cars to the weighbridge, a reprimand seems a reasonable punishment. In the past, missing the weighbridge or being underweight used to often see you out of the entire meeting. A slap on the wrist for missing the weighbridge would lead me to think that occasionally running the car underweight and ignoring the call to be weighed seems like a good way forward.

Are you aware of what happened in the races for Schumacher ? 8O

And secondly scoring points in races does not mean you are fast driver. But that's maybe because you're not aware of what qualifying means really.

Kals, you should listen to British medias, they are crying everytime about Hamilton's bad luck and misfortune, its sick.

Nobody should listen to the British media ...

(That said, I now live in Spain and the level of bias is off the scale ...)

In the end, it is the points that counts. Nothing else but the points.

From Schumacher's last season, I'm willing to just remember the Monaco pole position.

For just one lap around the most challenging track, and despite all the accidents and bad performances, he proved that he still had it.

To be honest, Kimi Raikkonen has been 10 times more impressive than Michael Schumacher considering comebacks.
