Schumacher is gone..

[Flubster]

I remember how Schum was behind his team mate, but Ferrari bosses ordered his team mate to let Schum ahead because this way he'd get the points he needed.

The whole F1 concept is a load of tosh.

It's called team tactics.

I call it cheating.

I call it cheating.

Clearly through lack of understanding about
a) The rules
b) Tactics
c) Aim to win individual chamionship AND constructors championship
d) Lack of understanding what cheating means

Weasel-looking and shedding crocodile tears about his retirement. Good riddance, I say. Best F1 driver ever ? Not in a million years. All the stats can't hide the fact that he was always looking for an easy angle (preferably the one the cameras couldn't spot). If you are the best, why do it ? BTW, Ferrari would have dominated F1 with or without him, on the strength of their cars. Nowadays, it's like Scaletrix, they might as well leave the drivers out and use remote control (They should do that on LU too, BTW)

You know a lot about F1 then do you Asterix?

That has always happened. Stirling Moss had a chance of being world champion, but had to let Fangio pass and win it because Fangio was the number one driver. Moss never complained, and never became world champion.

Team-mates rarely raced each other for the championship - Senna and Prost, Lauda and Prost, Mansell and Piquet, Coulthard and Haakinen, but now I'm struggling.

None of what Schumacher has done is new.

d) Lack of understanding what cheating means

I know what cheating is - I don't need specific rules for that because I know the spirit of honest competition and anything that violates that spirit is cheating.

Cheats on the other hand always look at the written word of the rules to justify their actions not being cheating.

That was your first sensisble post AndyW-er, keep it up.

Like how to avoid IR35...

This is a lot of nonsense. Pushing rules to the limit isn't cheating! It is why we have rules in the first place, to ensure that everyone knows exactly what the limits are.

Professional golf suffers less from cheating than any other sport that I know. But when I read books by Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus and others, they all stress how important it is to know the rules inside out, and to take advantage of them when you get the chance.

Next we'll be saying that tax avoidance is cheating!
