although schumi was much closer or on par with rosberg in quali in 2012, his race pace was pretty much always slower than rosberg. i ve always thought that schumi had the skill and speed but his reactions and consistency werent there for him, after watching his onboard race in china and bahrain in the race he was just very untidy in many of the corners, losing the back a bit, not hitting the apex fullys and just not being consistent and concentrated enough to make less of those small mistakes that ultimately cost him laptime. if you watch nico's onboard he is much better on the racing lines and having less twitchy moments. what do you guys think about shumacher's driving in the races?

Imo exactly what you described.

Although Michael improved precisely as you say in 2012, and got closer to Nico, (my calcs show he was 0.1 off in pre-race time average and 0.2 off in race times, by my rating system figures), the standard of drivers at the top of the field today is so high, I think any driver in his forties and after a 3-year 'layoff' would struggle. Including Senna, Lauda, Stewart, Clark, Fangio, etc.

One could post on here that orange juice is orange and someone would still request a source ..

But is the colour named after the fruit, or the fruit the colour?

2012 Formula 1 season:
Schumacher and Rosberg 10 - 10 in qualifying. Schumacher had 8 retirements and Rosberg had 3. In 9 races they both finished together, Schumacher was 7-2 up against Rosberg.

You could definitely query whether orange juice is made from oranges and request details of the ingredients. I once saw a drink labelled 'orange juice' that had nothing related to orange juice in it and included 'orange colouring and orange flavouring'.

Many Orange Juices contain less than 50% Oranges, mostly water with orange flavoring with a little bit of real Orange to be able to label it as "Orange Juice"

alot of schumis retirements were of his own making, the ones that weren't in general rosberg was already ahead or didn't score this has already been brought up in another thread although admittedly that only covered the first seven races.

Wow are you kidding me? If you dint watch the season, I'd suggest you go back and read/view highlights somewhere.

Most of his retirements save for his two brain farts( With Senna and Vergne) were the team's fault. If you believe otherwise, please enlighten us.

Schumacher beat Rosberg in most races.

That's the orange juice talking - have a look at the points.

I did that in another thread. Nico gained 67 of his 93 points in the first 7 races, when the car was good and Schumi had 5 DNFs...

As has already been pointed out, when both finished - Schumi beat Nico 7 times, whereas Nico beat Schumi twice...

Additionally, apart from the US race, Nico didn't beat Schumi after the 4th race of the season when both finished. After that Schumi beat him every race except US.

Still, Schu was beaten 3 years in a row by a guy who has won 1 GP. Kinda feel for him. Still a legend though!

He's not wrong. He talked about races: in the races they both finished, Michael was ahead. most time.

Well IMO technically he is. "Most races" also include the ones he DNF'd.

How can you count the races that one of them didn't finish? Apart from India maybe, where Schumacher was still classified (as he had covered more than 90% of the race).

This belief that rosberg got most of his points only because Schumacher had five dnfs in the first 7 races is unfounded look at the races rosberg was either already ahead or didn't score or the other 2 were schumachers fault i will post my post from the other thread as its more apt for this one.

ok first 7 races i recall schumi qualifying well, gearbox i think give him that, wheel wasn't done right and Drs flap stuck other than those 3 the other 2 were of his making ran into the back of senna and Monaco shouldn't have been a retirement his car was still drivable they retired him because the race was going so badly and could then change the gear box etc if needed without penalty.

so first seven races how many points did rosberg really get only because Schumacher got dnfs that weren't of schumis making? You can discount china because nico dominated even had schumi not retired nico would have beat him schumi would probably have third. As for aus rosberg didn't finish in the points so cant count that which leaves Canada his only other retirement in the first seven races that wasn't his making or that rosberg didn't benefit from and he went out in 9th i think rosberg was already ahead of him. So this argument that rosberg only scored his points because Schumacher didn't finish doesn't hold up especially the first 7 races anyway.

Wheres mod orange when you need him

Do you feel like reporting something?

Isn't orange juice kind of yellowish?

ironically yes they colour orange juice to make it more appealing

Real juice or box juice?

Real juice is greyish orangey yellow type colour

I prefer apples myself, and I think some here are comparing apples and oranges. Oh well, better than rhubarb..

Do they make rhubarb juice? Or just custard?

Anyone knows what exactly a Four Season drink is, too lazy to google lol

Anyway these stupid arguments wouldn't exist if Merc didnt screw Schumi's car when they actually had the speed to score points

Oranges are naturally green in colour. Their colour has nothing to do with their ripeness.

Anyway, oranges aren't important as the 2012 Mercedes was a lemon!

This is turning into a "HOW" thread.


I expect orange cats soon.

And I don't mean Garfield!

I have worse. Much worse.

MS got thrashed by Rosberg over three seasons, easily beat. Yes MS shown some good bits of speed but over the course of three seasons he was no match for Rosberg. Of course his fans will bring up the excuses of bad luck etc, but then they forget about Rosbergs misfortunes. But the facts are MS got easily beaten by Rosberg, saying otherwise it's denying the facts and reality of what went on in the real world.




I guess your use to drinking Lemon juice.

Amusing how the same statistics can lead people to two opposing conclusions. Or mabey you're just looking to piss of his fans?

He's been doing that for years! You learn to ignore him!

Neither. "An orange" was originally written "A norange". Over time, it changed.

As for Schumi and Rosberg, Michael was faster at moments but never had the measure of him for any length of time. Nico was running better IIRC in China where both cars had clean air in front of them
