Thats two races in a row and the fans weren't exactly receptive to Michael on the podium were they?
Hope the FIA are taking note, wonder if it'll continue in Germany? Apparantly Michael isn't the most popular sportsman over there. |

That is if he bothers to go to Indy. By then the title should be his anyway.

He got a lot of boos on the podium. But the tifosi did make up for it a lot. I wasnt there on friday so I dont know what happened back then - but sunday was 60/40 in favor of the anti-schumachers.

Oh, poor TGF, they are booing him...
didn't Damon Hill receive death threats at Germany in 1995? |

Here are MS excuses for rest of the year:
HOCKENHEIM AND NURBURGRING: 1. Mercedes and BMW are my competitors so obviously the Germans dont like me. SILVERSTONE: 1. Hill & I dont get along well so obviously the English dont like me. 2. DC & I dont get along well so obviously the Scots dont like me. 3. Eddie was kicked out of Ferrari so obviously the Irish dont like me. SUZUKA: 1. JV drives for Honda so obviously the Japanese dont like me. FRANCE: 1. JV is french, so obviously French dont like me. |

Adding to Freud's list...
INDY: 1. JV and Juan Pablo are as close as the Americans have to a driver, so of course they don't like me. SPA 1. The Belgian fans are still bitter over being invaded during the World Wars, so they don't like me. |

I must say, that is a pathetic comment by TGF. After the BS that was pulled in Austria, I can't blame anyone for wanting to boo him. Being booed is part of sport anyway, some people support you, some people don't. Just accept the booing as part of the deal of being at the front.

I being Canadian, am really offended by that comment. I was goin commend TGF on the drive in Canada where he was on the ragged edge to get a 24 seconda gap so he could pit and come out in 2nd. But those comments are just sick... TGF has no respect at all for anyone. Even the fans... he can shove that trophy up his ass.

We'll I saw that driver's parade...and Booed. And as I was about 40 feet from TGF, along with other Ten-tenthers, he has to have heard us chanting "Ostreiche! Ostreiche!" and seen us give him the thumbs down-Rubens did, he laughed and gave us a big wave.
This was my third consectutive race in Montreal, and Schumacher has ALWAYS gotten thunderous applause in the past. Not this year though and it has NOTHING to with Jacques. See the pick |

Thanks for the info, EERO. I am glad that you were there for the 'thumbs down'. Pity I couldnt make it to Montreal this year (a ticket was available on black for 1500 US but too much).... Anyway if I were there I would've done exactly as you plus probably showed him my bum also

Yes, a very interesting tidbit, EERO, thanks for sharing it.
Michael is either in denial, or is inhabiting a universe all his own. Someday in the future, Rubens will write a book. I want the first copy! |

Come to think of it, I don't think the Austrians were that fond of MSch either. I wonder what the fans will do when he gets to Monza - that will be the litmus test. Just as a point of interest, does anyone remember any other F1 driver being boo'ed in this manner and with such gusto before? I can't.

At the hairpin in Montreal, the four stands make a stadium with perhaps 30,000 people in them.
As the Austin-Healeys of the Driver's parade swung into the Stadium, with TGF to the fore-there was A LOT of booing and it was LOUD!!!! |

EERO provides empirical evidence to support the logical point I wanted to make (well, yeah, actually EERO makes the logical point too!), namely that MS's comment would *only* make sense if the Canadian fans had booed in the past; and they did not. The man is in denial. I'm not sure it's a psychiatric condition -- more like a functional adaptation...
On a related front, I see MS implies that Ferrari have promised their fans that they will not do it again. This contradicts both Todt's and Brawn's rather emphatic public statements that they will indeed "do it" again if the occasion should arise. I think Michael is still chasing favour the way he did on that infamous podium; he can't bear not to be liked, poor man, and he hasn't really got the personality to suit. It's as well to remember, almost all these guys are pretty young, and they've spent their lives in fairly...odd circumstances. Emotional maturity and finely-tuned social judgement must be rather the exception than the rule, I'd guess. Last edited by Bibendum; 11 Jun 2002 at 13:07. |

I think it is also very dismissive for MS to refer to Jacques as a "past competitor".
