I still like to listen to something while cleaning the house, that would be fun in as an Audiobook.

We can all point to where we think things started to go wrong, but in reality, the FIA not clamping down on Schumacher style blocking (I only call it that because for me, he defined that kind of aggressive driving at a time when it wasn't de rigueur, I'm in no way saying he INVENTED it..) is what legitimised it and led to people seeing it as normal today
It's not, and it never should be seen that way.


I always found it quite interesting that when Michael came back in 2010, he started getting involved in a lot more collisions. I'm pretty sure that's because the younger generation of drivers had been raised on his style of driving and weren't intimidated by his bullshit

That and his eyesight was going (he ran into Bruno Senna from about half a straight back in Barcelona and again with another car in Singapore and it made me think "c'mon man, how could you not SEE those cars)

But yeah, one of them cost him a chance at once last win, so karma bites back I guess.

Schumi actually had identical race ending accidents in two successive Singapore races.

I don't know if it was so much eyesight as it was his reactions (which were never good to begin with)
