I am terribly sorry to respond to this since it is absolutely off topic...

Mr. Gonnella,

You are certainly entitled to your own opinion but  "clowns" such as 
Patrick Head, Nigel Roebuck and Doug Nye don't share your view, you can 
read about it on the BBC and Autosport websites, 3 people in 3 different 
F1/motoring arenas, whose opinions are far more respected than yours or 
mine, not to mention Flavio Briatore, who is a bit hypocritical in this matter.

Schumacher didn't need to do this to win the WDC, it is somewhat analogous 
to running up the score, not very sporting. Of course, Schumacher could 
break his legs etc... but the last time this happened, Irvine would have 
had enough points to win the driver championship if he hadn't had to move 
over for Schumacher earlier in the season, the strategy back fired.

I don't think Ferrari (reads Schumacher) did any thing against the FIA 
rules, I just don't like the way they go about their racing and this seems 
to be the overwhelming view of the public, may be people are all clowns, 
bring on the make-up.

Why is Gilles Villeneuve still so revered and popular today even though he 
passed away 20 years ago and only won 6 races and no WDC? some of us still 
care how you play the game, I realize it is a terribly outdated notion.

Sporting behavior is so sadly underrated. I guess I'll never be a card 
carrying "Fast and Furious", win at all cost crowd.

Just another clown's opinion,

         - Steve.
