Jenson

Why does everyone feel sorry for Schumacher ? From what I've seen he drives like a jerk and he's slower than the kids out there. He should have stayed retired.
Yes he certainly has benn driving like an arse in recent races, but IMO he drove a great race and "outperformed" what his Mercedes is capable of: as ksher says, it's not on par with the RBs/McLarens/Ferraris, yet Schumacher drove incredibly well on Sunday. For that reason I think he deserved a podium :)
 
only managed to watch it yesterday - phenomenal drive from jensen - especially as I knew the result, thinking he's last how the h**l did he win it :o awesome, just great to watch.

as for Schumacher, he was always a bit more of a master in the wet...

+10 :)
 
Have been away in France all weekend (not Le Mans) and managed to not see anything about the race before I watched it today. Brilliant race!!! Certainly one of the best wins I've ever seen, how often has anyone ever won from last? Think Senna did, not sure about others?

And I'm delighted because I was thinking the FIA being what it is would use one of the two investigations to strip him of the victory and hand it to Vettel. Maybe they have changed post Moseley :o (Have recently watched Senna, and just finished reading 'Chequered Conflict' about Spygate I've have been recently reminded about the FIA's more 'sporting' side).

When Jenson was last I thought that's it over for him and was looking forward to Schumacher possibly bagging a victory through some bizarre turn of events. When it looked like a podium for Button and then when he cleared Webber, Schu & co I was with you lot in cheering when Vettel slid wide. :D Have supported Jenson since his first season in the Williams and met him a couple of years ago. I enjoy watching especially when they show the in-car stuff with his driving so smooth. Wouldn't argue that he's faster than Hamilton but he is more of a strategist, thinking ahead as he drives. Thought he'd had his chances of winning a title when Honda pulled out, expected his career to go down and him to join the list of 'great drivers who never won' so pretty pleased after the Brawn year and getting the Mclaren seat.

Should mention I'm not a Schuey fan but at times have thought he seems a better person since his comeback - seems less arrogant etc in interviews but then he does the sort of thing he did to Barrichello. All the same would actually quite like to see him win a final race then think he should be giving it up. Better to burn out than to fade away like Hill did - and he's in severe danger of doing that. Would seem a great shame for the driver with the most F1 records and up there with the greatest. Would've been nice to see him on the podium.
