To all those casting doubts over the skills of Schumacher, you may now rest in peace knowing that he is still the same fierce, bold, courageous and feared driver of old. These characteristics when viewed from a different perspective might give you an image of a reckless madman behind steering wheels, but when applied to a Seven Times World Champion shows you the true definition of a Legend. I am always full of praise for this guy just for these reasons. He has the guts to commit himself to such maneuvers. It isn’t any piece of luck that he has never been involved in any major accident despite such highly risky driving. It is down to pure talent of the God of Racing. No other driver could have been involved in so many near-collision incidents as has been Schumacher, and yet the next race you cannot discount him repeating the feat again.
Once again, it is all down to your perspective, how you see yesterdays duel between the two age old drivers. Schumacher had the right to steer right and defend the move by Barrichello. It was him challenging the other driver. What he did was perfectly legal. Had Barrichello deemed it was too risky then he should have slowed down and aborted the overtaking move. He could have tried to go to the other side of the track and tried his chance. I do not see Schumacher not-being-in-control. It was an intentional block.
If it scared the shit out of Barrichello, he must think twice before trying to overtake the Master.
The stewards must show consistency while awarding penalties. Earlier in the season, Vettel had almost put Hamilton into the pit wall, but I do not remember Vettel getting any punishment. The media has created this furor around Schumacher, tagging him as an unsafe driver, that he gets so many decisions against himself. As Paulo Coelho named his book – The Winner Stands Alone!
