like in a lot of sports he has no choice over that....it's not his decision......he does have the Saltire on his car as when he was with Williams he wanted rid of the union jack....Frank told him that when he won a race he would get the Saltire....ever since DC has had the Scottish flag on his car

Would they put him in jail for not standing under a Union flag? Surely not. He's got plenty of dosh and isn't likely to win anything else this lifetime - he should just go for it. I would. Sod them!

although I agree with you....
that would bring the sport into disrepute...if Schuey was to do that I would bet my last penny that you would be the first saying he should be banned from ever racing again

Of course the difference is the shoemaker has no reason to. We do.
Why would it bring F1 into disrepute? Because someone has principles? Maybe you're right actually. It would be a bit of a shock if any of those spoiled brats had any principles, eh? As a matter of interest, in all the sim forums where this has come up the overwhelming majority consider the shoemakers move to have been a blatant cheat. Even the fanboys say that. He should either miss the next two races or be kicked out altogether. This won't happen of course as Ferrari and the FIA are constant bedfellows. Not to mention Ecclestone.

you know there is no point in arguing with someone like you..no matter what Schuey does he is always gonna be in the wrong...your one sided...to say something good about Schu would be beyond you..and the F1 forums I've been to there's plenty who are saying he did not cheat but it was drivers error
Schuey has been racing for 15 year...yes he has done dodgy things..but all in all he has proven that he is the best driver....or are you gonna say that the records he has broken has been through cheating?..in fact dont answer that cuz your probably stupid enough to say it was

Actually, I think Schumacher is the best F1 driver of the last 15 years. I well remember seeing him cutting through the field in his Benetton way back, and I said it then. You should know that. However, he is prone to cheating, seeing red, whatever...he should be punished for it. That's all I'm saying.

if you still believe he cheated (which you do and always will) then he was punished..
if you want him to be banned from Silverstone then I will come and kick your arse cuz I'm going to Silverstone this year....and this has been a dream of mine for a long long time

Funny you should mention that....
That's the same place the F1/Indy drivers wind up when they get into a NASCAR over here!!!
They're usually "hired guns" to run the NASCAR road courses...I DO have much respect for Boris Said though...He's cool...

Yeah, you need someone who knows that the steering wheel turns both ways.

Road courses are OKAY....just not many opportunities for passing...*yawns*
gimme a NASCAR superspeedway anyday....drafting 1 inch between bumpers at 200mph is enuff to give ANYBODY a
Rush...
IMHO, if F1 or Indy tried that, they'd be wallpaper
They can't even rub tires...too "clean" for me...but hey, that's just me...
Ever seen a guest in a (rare) passenger seat in a NASCAR?
they're scared sh*tless! those videos RULE!!
