    I have heard people say this all the time, but I have searched a lot of places and I can find no telemetry reports to support what you have written. DC may have lifted, but I have never heard this from anyone who actually looked at the data.

    IIRC, i remember a few years ago, DC admitted he puposely lifted and hoped he could take MS out. IIRC, it was an F1 racing mag interview. He apologized tho.

    I would hardly call that a brain fade. at that speed, and at that seating position, Bruno only had about less than 0.5 sec to re act. It's silly if its classified as brain fade.

    I take it you guys are discussing Spa in the rain? 100% DC's fault. I didn't need telemetry to see him crawl on the ideal line.

    Schumi's reaction ("You are a murderer!") was over the top, but understandable. Unlike when he brake tested JPM in the tunnel of Monaco. That was Schumi's mistake.

    How can you explain the huge difference in speed? Has DC always been 50 mph slower compared to MS? Only someone being silly wouldn't admit that DC was waayy off the pace while driving on the racing line with ZERO visibility behind him. A foolish decision by a guy who's made many.

    4 stops is a great way to have a mistake in the pit lane. Too many examples exist of pit lane errors costing dozens of seconds, a 4 stopper is always something to advise against.

    Another brain fade moment:

    Chinese GP, reconnaissance lap: Schumacher drives straight into Albers. Complete brain fade of champ.

    I think the audio sounded something like "Bjorg Bernheim"?

    Based on the video, it looks the other way round actually.

    True, it is Albers who hits Schumi. But what the hell is MS doing suddenly moving into the path of Albers for no good reason at crawl speed?

    It was a remake of the DC vs MS accident at Spa with reversed roles.

    The Playboys, or the coolest of F1 drivers ever!

    the bjorn wirdheim/nicolas keisa F3000 incident at monaco was awesome. No idea what Nicolas is up to now, last time I heard of him was earlier last year when he was trying for a seat in DTM IIRC. But he's probably just bombing about in his silly spec R34 GTR (look it up on youtube, search for KISMO GTR. Takes a while to find a good video without ****e music dubbed over it though).

    LH in the kitty litter has to be the worst in recent memory. MS brake checking JPM in the tunnel was bad, but I don't think it had the consequences that LH's did.

    Possibly one of the most exciting moments in my life, impressive since it was about 3 o clock in the morning.
