Warspite: You may be surprised by my answer, but you have that just about right. I remember hating Schumacher for all the BS he was up to all those years, and you did a good job highlighting some of those incidents, which are just a tiny fraction of what he did. It seemed to me when I was watching him in real time that he was up to something every weekend.
Why I forgive Schumacher: His return to Mercedes (my favorite team) in 2010 has something to do with it, but mostly I have to admit he really made watching F1 all those years a lot of fun...he kept my interest in F1 and looking forward to every race and season. At the time I was very aggravated. His recent injury also has something to do with it perhaps.
F1 has become somewhat boring to me recently (I must agree I love the Austin track and look forward to going there perhaps next season). I like Mercedes dominance, and some of the changes F1 have made I agree with, but I think some of the coolness factors are missing (esp. the engine sound).
Ok, let me revise my remarks as to what Nico should do...now that Hamilton has won, Mercedes should have no problem with Nico being as aggressive as he needs to be. Mercedes from their team view point should let Hamilton know they wont appreciate him f'ing with Nico...perhaps supporting him (yes, I hate team orders, and its not what I want to see, but I'm role playing Mercedes management). I think Nico cant really look that good anyway if: 1. He gets any assists from Hamilton, or 2. Hamilton is seen as holding back in any way...ie...driving in a relaxed manner now that he's won the Championship. Sad that this is what we have to look forward to in the final races. I think I'm done with Nico after this season.
My hatred for Hamilton has me so off balance that I never thought I would say this, but I am considering becoming a Ferrari fan next season...or as long as Hamilton drives for Mercedes.

Yes I am surprised - in a pleasant way [:)]. Thank-you. And FWIW, I had similar feelings about Nelson Piquet - still do truth be told. The guy was such a %^&* that being objective about his driving ability becomes difficult. That fact he was, in 1987, the most undeserving World Champion in the history of the sport - and that he took Nigel's championship from him just makes the pain and the sheer anger so much greater. If I want to depress myself I only need to look at Autocourse 1987. It's enough to make a grown man cry. Nelson Piquet 1987 World Champion - what a load of sloblocks....[:(]
