Grid for the Chinese Grand Prix

He was probably doing his 'brake and throttle at the same time' thing because you usually would lose the front. Liked his quote on BBC Ceefax; " I'm Michael Schumacher. I don't need to question my driving ability." True, but...

Just goes to show that traction control can't even stop Michael Schumacher from spining!

[Knowlesy]

Hmmmm....yes Michael.

You made a mistake. Don't get so uptight. It's not as if it's a recurring problem this year!

Well that's because it wasn't a traction zone.

[luke]

He userly makes mastakes under presure that's why we havn't seen him crack up until now even though he hasn't been under presure this year.

The race I'm seriously looking forward to this year I can't even see the end because I have to head of, for my Karting at 8.00am. I'm looking forward to it so much I'm nervous already!

[Knowlesy]

Well good luck!

Schuey has seemed slightly off colour since Hungary.....although his drive at monza was amazing, he made an awful mistake at the start, at Belgium he seemed a man under pressure (with the title and all that hanging over his head) and suddenly he harpoons off the road at Shanghai.....although he'll probably pull the rabbit out of the hat and win tomorrow. One thing you can't do is rule TGF out.

Hhaha..cute.

It's obvious why F1 needs Michael..a spin like this and a start from the back is enough to grab headlines like that.

Well, one thing is, it isn't a DELIBERATE spin. Unless decided by the team for a proper reason, MS won't deliberately spin "for fun".

And secondly, MS did not strongly reject suggestions that he screwed up. In fact, he's rather open about it that data doesn't show anything yet and there's probability its the fault of the guy in between the fuel tank and the steering wheel (ie driver error).

Funny then...as some people say MS crack under pressure while some say MS makes mistakes when without pressure..make up your minds.

In anyway, what's the big issue here over a simple spin? LOL.. if anything, what's worth remembering is the great performance he put up at Monza, a nicely tactical drive in Spa, and up til that spin, was amazingly quicker than Rubens in pre-qualifyings - as usual the ability to get the quickest line for a track.

And with the championship off..hmm..i won't complain having more show to watch.. jus hopefully nobody tags him.

Go go go all you Schumi fanboys!

What's all this discussion about?

So Schumacher had a spin? Big deal! He's human and had a little off - no biggie.

If anything I find it heartening to see the man that has wrapped up the championship two rounds ago pushing so hard.

Can't wait for the race ..... could be an absolute cracker!

Conspiracy aside, if DC is washed up how did he manage to out qualify the 'ace' who is replacing him? Monty's qualifying is surely a disappointment in the light of Ralf's fine effort...

the only real comparison for DC is his team mate ....

[F40_LM]

I agree, DC has had WAY too many chances(years/races/teammates) to prove himself worth of WDC material. Experienced vs less experience on the same machinery but gets outqualified and outraced more often than not by Kimi. Enough said.
