You're a Schumacher fan I don't even have to ask.
guilty
(actually WAS would be a bit more accurate)
Give me a fucking break, was Schumacher any different? In all his championships won he had the most competitive car ALWAYS! After a whole lot of championships he had such a good car they had to change the rules to stop his dominance, don't talk to me about having a good and reliable car, Schumacher always had that. He had durability, he had power, and lastly he had his skill, the same thing Alonso had with his time in Renault.
Agree
Alonso beat Schumacher on the track last season and he beat him like a great driver, luck had nothing to do with it.
Renault as a team was much more balanced and durable than Ferrari last year,
Ferrari was less reliable than ever, Schumacher lost his last title hopes because of an engine failure and that was hardly Alonso's skill on the tracks, Alonso won two championships full of 2 and 3rd places, he wasnt always the fastest but his car was always competitive under any circumstances and also was by far the most reliable.A driver cant be responsible for his team reliability, he is directly benefiting from that though and gain extra favor in front of the competition,
favor with a different origin than driving skills.
In my eyes Alonso is still untested without this favor.
Mclaren was traditionally the less reliable "big" team but so far both drivers had a perfect record.
Right now, from this point of view Alonso was really really lucky again, to be a part of a team without reliability or balance problems.(and most important, that team used to be up until now, used to be, THE less balanced and reliable)
Ferrari had the best tradition on this section, but the last 3-4 years they even fail to deliver there too, thats the only reason that keeps them from winning...
Why Renault is struggling this season is a mistery to me, surely it's not only because of Alonso but it's definetly one of the factors, one of the biggest. Do you listen to yourself? You're saying a team which was completely dominant for 2 years, won everything, then changed their driver, a 2 time champion, didn't find a suitable replacement and is now struggling, you're saying it has nothing to do with it? Are you serious?
I think i gave an answer to that, i even said that even before the championship,
i couldnt quess that Renault would be THAT bad already, though, but i was sure they wouldnt be competitive, the situation really speaks for it self, its a budget thing, they were about to withdraw their competition. They couldnt afford a decent pilot, they fell back in car's development.
While Ferrari,BMW and Mclaren were more eager, for the title, than ever before
and they would invest more than usual in order to make a leap forwards and overcome the unwilling to invest more, while winning, Renault.
Anyways FIA doesnt want/"allow" the same team to be the winner every year, because of the decreased interest in F1 that way, there are many other reasons too...
You can't be a champion without a good car, that's a fact, but you can't be a champion by just being lucky, let alone a two time world champion. Get over your crush on Schumacher and live on.
I m a ferrari fan, i ve always been a ferrari fan, i would have been a ferrari fan even if Shumi would choose another team.
I care and suffer the most, of the ferrari's lack of performance,
i suffer knowing that ferrari has the driver able to win the championship (both Schumi was and Kimi are able, Alonso would be too) but it is the car that lacks performance overall and struggles to beat the most competitive car every year.
In my point of view Ferrari has a great budget, (nearly unlimited, other teams complain) almost every year and they are always competitive for the titles, while the other teams have a few bursts of form (that i believe are bound to their yearly budget and FIAs changes on rules and other occasional reasons)
And don't even try and say where did I mention Schumancher and stuff like that, you didn't, but only a Schumacher fanatic could say the youngest F1 champion ever, a two times champion I might add, was just lucky.
Where did i mention Schumi?
Seriously i used to like Alonso too, but i dislike unproven and overrated pilots, (despite the press trying to make us believe tall Webber, British pride Button and Us of A pride Montoya as the new F1 phenomenon, i insisted Kimi and Fernando are the real talents from the very first races i ve seen them)
of course Alonso is a very talented and skillful driver and he can win anyone while having the best car (overall), (even Villeneuve did that too
)
BUT, since in the modern age, the difference between the teams is much more crucial than the difference between drivers,
Schumacher was one of the last drivers that had the chance or even the "privilege" to win a championship while driving a less competitive car, he proved himself in a way, noone can repeat today. Schumi earned respect with the hard way and he was proven again and again under any circumstances. Alonso at this age cant be (already) better than Shumi was, after all those years of exp, in any way, it is really unfair to judge with the same standards, unequal proportions.
A champion cant be "just" lucky, of course, luck is not enough, but skill isnt neither...
But same times when the difference is bound to made by the slightest detail,
a little extra skill or luck can all the difference necessary for the ultimate win.
Skill determines a man, his caracter and caracteristics, it is the ultimate goal for everyone and the exemple to follow.
But luck is smth unmeasurable, unfair and unpreddicted, it is an irritating fact for some ppl that it determines the fates of men though.
It is a normal thing that ppl would love and feel compassion/admiration for the efforts of the proven skillful and unlucky man than the efforts of a lucky and potentially unskilled young man who is yet to be proven against the real problems of life...
