Schumacher Articles

[Leigh]

Anybody who hasn't seen it yet, todays The Age (http://www.theage.com.au/news/formula-one/birth-of-a-boy-racer/2006/10/18/1160850999420.html) has a great article on the life of one M. Schumacher. This is the first of a five part series.

Just goes to show that occassionally talent alone (and a certain amount of luck) does get you to the top!

Did part 5 ever get posted? Would be good for other forum members to read the full story.

I can't believe they would even put a five part expose' on a person like Schumacher in the paper. The mans a comlpete and utter right off when it came to sportsmanship. Sure most won't agree with me and thats fine, but i feel a five part expose' should be written about something postive rather than a man who has cheated and bent the rules for the last 16 years.

i'm sorry Tonynz, but i just can't excuse some of the actions of the man, surely you can understand that. I don't hate him but i just feel he should not be put on the high ehtical and moral pedestal of a great champion.

no one has put him on a high ethical pedestal

Maybe you should actually read the articles, and you would see that it is not all glorious...

Better still, when you see a thread about something you don't like, don't read it! You are only making this thread more popular by increasing the number of views, posts and bumping it to the top.
