nkb said:OK, here are some questions for everyone who thinks Schumacher is overrated, lucky, a cheater (take your pick):
1. Why does Ferrari pay him insane amounts of money to have him drive their race car?
If he really isn't that good, wouldn't they save a lot of money by giving a younger, more talented driver a contract for a lot less?
And, if their car is really that superior, that an overrated driver can dominate in it, wouldn't it make Ferrari look much better to have a less known driver winning championships?
2. Why does the FIA (according to effer) penalize everyone BUT Schumacher?
Everyone seems to agree that Ferrari's dominance is bad for F1. Competition is always good for the audience. Why would the FIA make exceptions for a guy who is already dominating? Does Ferrari or MS have incriminating pictures of Ecclestone with a goat?
3. If there really is some huge sort of conspiracy underway (Ferrari telling Sauber to slow other racers, for example), don't you think the FIA would investigate and do something about it?
I'm not buying that Ferrari has any say in what Sauber does during a race, just because they are using their engine.
1- because he is currantly the best of the crop, but not the best ever. and advetisment wise, it wouldn't really cost them much to pay him this amount of money if they can get it out from big companies
2 & 3- Who said that the FIA actually does the right thing , most ofthe time, they're more like a drunk guy trying to walk in a strait line.
