Alonso: Schu is the main threat

From that article:
"The mistake I think Michael made was before the start of the season when he said, 'I only do winning world championships, that is why I am here'. He set the bar too high for himself. He ought to have said, 'these are young chargers, I will do my best, we'll see how far I get and I will support Nico and the team [to] try and go win some races'.

I've been saying this from day 1 and got a lot of flak for it. I truly think having MS in the field enriches the experience of watching the races, but I couldn't stand the "rara the Kaiser will dominate the season" chest bumping.

Interestingly enough that is also pretty much what MS is now saying about this season (while Haug keeps touting the "win the title" line).

 

True enough, MS had a target on his back for the young chargers.

He may surprise again, whatever the case it's ok with me he is still racing.

 

Except that in season 1 of his comeback he never got to actually duke it out with the top 5. Maybe this year.

 

i believe michael may be the bernd rosemeyr incarnate.

 

Do go on.

 

bernd died testing an autounion landspeed car on the frankfurt/darmstadt autobahn.
he was a fearless driver as well as german.
michael shares his qualities.



who knows?...

 

They're both German and fast. Not unique to the two of them.

 

Strong praise for the weakest 2010 contender in a semi top flight car. Guess he wants him to keep the ride. One less worry for Fred.

 

So Is, is more beer or wine ect going to be winging your way this year, with a MS bet..

 

Can't speak for Is, but I'm pretty sure I'll have more Stella Artois coming my way at the end of the season...

PS: A tad off topic, but anyway: Went to a racing themed bar last night and had a delicious Warsteiner. Reminded me of the '79 Arrows.

 

Metallic taste and a poor finish?

 

Hi Steve, yes one last shot for Sir Fastie, double or nothing this year so the pressure is off your favourite prognosticator in 2011.....

 

No doubt you will.. You just need a bet, Viz will oblige am sure..make it a 5 litre mini keg.

Will have to sample some Warsteiner.. Austria end of the month should be a good place to start.

 

LOL ...

 

Steven you know that neither drink nor wagers are allowed here at the monastery.

 

LOL.. You don't know what your missing.. 24 hours in a day ... 24 beers in a case ... coincidence?

 

A beer an hour is the best you can do?

 

Owned.

 

I wonder if my beer will arrive at the end of this coming season or the next one...

All the best,
Andrew.

 

You know my answer. Unlike Alonso I have no doubts. Then again Fred is just doing a Prost

 

I dunno if I should be amused or offended.....

I've just got a feeling The Schu is going to be back to his old self this season......

Cheers,
Ian

 

Lie down. Think calm thoughts and the feeling will pass.

 

Alternatively watch the races and the feeling will pass as well.

 

Hehehe - don't write him off yet guys, I don't think he's done yet.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Unlike Mike who won't be doing much passing?


Sorry Ian, no offense meant.
