The Michael Schumacher Career/Injury/Recovery Thread

"Has memory problems", per 2 posts prior, indicates that MS does in fact have a memory. Moreover, "has memory problems" also indicates that he can communicate at least well enough for someone to evaluate his memory and draw that very conclusion. I see this as potentially good news.

Forgive me for saying this, but the last two pages of this thread have been very pessimistic and mostly based upon wild conjecture.

 

I read that as a euphemism

 

Wiki isn't that accurate. Memory problems? How can that be accurate if he can't communicate? Few months ago, they said he cries at the sound of his children and Corrina's voice. How is that memory problem?

 

My God, that is heartbreaking.

 

I rewatched Top Gear last night, when he came on as the Stig. Painful.

 

No. 2004 was a leap year. 2015 is not...

 

Now this:

Appalling....T

 

Nothing new here. Break into MD's office looking for drugs and of course rx blanks. Good luck with the forgeries. Any not just out of school Rph can spot a forgery a mile away. As far as the laptop. The thugs will probably just sell or trade it. A lot harder than getting a job. That is unless you are not hiring material. Anyway surely they must realize that their prize is being tracked. Yep hope they keep it powered up. Gts Bruce

 

I don't think that break ins aren't that common. This might have been targeted for the very purpose of getting that data

 

Even if Schu's data was obtained I do not believe any media outlet is going to buy the data for fear of the mob style hit squad that would come after them, unless of course it were purchased by a China based news outlet

 

Is this the first time that one of Schumi's inner circle has confirmed that he is unable to speak?

talk about reading between the lines!

 

"Talks went on anyway and I asked Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm for her opinion. Unfortunately I couldn't speak with Michael..."

 

right.....reading between the lines, as I said. You might be reading too much into it, or you might be right...but it's a stretch.

 

It did not even cross my mind, it was water damaged in a plumbing leak, I cut it up to save the images...

Sorry for the side track, I framed one for my office, the fill port of his car is on fire behind his helment, as he sits calmly strapped in to go.....

I am hoping for the best, these things of this severity take time.

 

Poor Michael, Corinna and the children, what a sad state of affairs. I really had hoped more good news would have come out by now, but I am gradually accepting that this may never happen.

Mercedes should be thanking MS on a daily basis.

 

Why?

They did a lot better once Hami took over that seat.

 

I'll take the 7 time knowledge and experienced opinion over a 2 timer any day, maybe that was what was meant???

 

Say what!? The team self-admits Michael was instrumental along with Brawn to building that team. Michael builds teams, that's what he does, while Alonso is quite the opposite. Hamilton had absolutely nothing to do with the building of w04 and little to do with w05 as Geoff Willis started w05 in 2012 with the input and direction from none other than Michael Schumacher. So yes, mercedes can thank Michael.

I should add that Lewis stepped into what Michael constructed and it's only probably about this season that Lewis' input is actually seeing any benefit although he hardly has the track record with building teams that Michael does.

 

As stated by you on here MS had a different driving style from Nico. So right there that's bad for car development.

As for the rest: if MS were that good at developing the car then why didn't he stay with MB and collect the fruits of his work?

Reality is that the car got fast once Hami was in it. That's facts based on WDC points. The only thing that matters.

 

Just like Paddy Lowe himself stated, it was the fruit of Brawn and Michael who built the team. W04 would be W04 regardless of if Michael or Lewis were driving. Michael proved in 2012 in W03 that all he needed was a more driveable car to be quick hence why his qualifying equalled Nico, and Nico bested the mighty Lewis Hamilton in that regard. That said, we're splitting hairs here as they are all great drivers. Kimi is s perfect example of a fantastic driver who was shoved into a horrid machine developed by Alonso and a broken team.
