    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.

    he was a fearless driver as well as german.
    michael shares his qualities.

    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.

    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. :)

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