You know, it's quite an interesting situation IMO... do I like Schumacher?
No, because he's going (in all likelyhood) to walk away with his 7th championship(!!), and he's making for a bad show. I want to see fights for the lead, passes, ducking in and out looking for a way around the leader as they fight tooth and nail right up to a photo finish....but that never happens, because schumi is always out in front, blowing everybody into the weeds.
I also don't like his (or his brother's) general race strategies. It seems to be the case, that, if someone gets along side either of them, they simply run them off the road, or weave across the road like some old lady trying to find a lane.... it's not cool, and he's been driving like that for as long as I can remember. (I've been watching F1 since the mid-90's.)

Do appreciate Schumacher's raw speed? Abso 'freaking' loutely! Baring his in-traffic foupaus(sp), his ability to simply crank out fast lap after fast lap, seemingly at will is like seeing pure art in motion. I think it was interesting what one of the announcers said at last weekends San Marino race. It was something like "And here we see Rubens, running in 6th place, which is where the Ferrari's probably would be if it weren't for Michael." hmmm...kind of makes you wonder a little... But perhaps they don't get the same car, I dunno, but I see no reason why Ferrari would purposely give Rubens crap to drive. There is no reason for it, so it must be something else...maybe Michael really is THAT good.
Now...having said all that...GO JENSON GO!!!!!!
