To be honest and from memory, no.

But that does not mean that he has not suffered due to rule changes and nor does it mean that the rule changes are at his behest or to make him more competitive (although that could be

I can think of 2, the abolition of SNS tyres, and at least theoretically the engine number limitation rule brought in while he was in his first year at Ducati when the bike had the engine integrated in the chassis, although his problems in 2011 were obviously rather manifold.

Casey obviously holds the view that both times he dominantly won a championship, for 2 different manufacturers, that the rules were changed against him, tyres the first time and both weight and tyres the second, a view with which I have some sympathy.

Should add that the interview is quite refreshing when you see the comfort of Stoner.

Yes it is a friendly bunch of journalists but the relaxed nature of the interview and Stoner's response does (I believe) show Stoner in what I have been told by some is a truer picture.

He obviously has some items up his sleeve and will not let them slip but was a good interview all up (all IMO)

Considering he left the sport with a lot of frustrations it's great to see him relaxed and enjoying himself after throwing his leg over a motogp bike again. A very positive start to his test rider role imo.

202.1 not bad all things considered.

JumPS, you surely mean senna and schwantz not rossi and schumacher?

Good call Michaelm, rossi successful on a duc would've been too good for gp and I don't recall the rules to have been rewritten to their Gusto.rather to the contrary

No, I mean Schumacher.

There's a reason they call it the "Schumacher Swerve".

This video was from 19 years after he made his debut in 1991.

He never stopped driving like a total scumbag, and I don't care if he is a vegetable, he was a piece of .....

Nahh. It's cool, Clicheprop, what's wrong with not caring about a dad in a vegetative state? Or hoping that someone behaves like a turd and takes out VR?
We must (must!) have justice.

I've already discussed Senna in other posts on this forum. I never excused him. Schumacher went far beyond what Senna did over a much larger window of time.

Delighted? No. It was regrettable.

The old appeal to emotion...the last resort of someone who doesn't have too much else to add.

Regarding point two, if VR got a taste of his own medicine, he'd appreciate why you don't do the things he has done, in particular Sepang.

It's cool bro, I know the finer points are lost upon you.

Why do these preachers always get so personal when they run out of battaries

#22 · Jan 31, 2016

Just to be clear, I 'liked' JPS' post regarding his comment about the Schumacher swerve, for he is correct.

That said, however much I disliked him as a driver, I wouldn't wish his current fate on anybody. As Dr No said, he is a father and a husband after all.

propagandhi · Jan 31, 2016

Thats cool, schumi ,contrary to Hamilton,senna,alonso,Villeneuve, is guilty of d.w.g.
Bit of context between barrichello and schumi would be necessary to correctly evaluate the incident but that would be worthy of its own thread/forum

I never said I wished anything on him, propaghandi and No don't seem to understand that I can dislike him as strongly now as I did back then in spite of his current physical condition.

I made this comment...

Because I've seen a whole shitload of people suddenly back off of wanting to assess Schumacher for who and what he was on the track because of his accident. They suddenly think the accident negates every bad thing he ever did because no one wants to be "that guy" who criticizes him now. It's the same farce that goes on at plenty of funerals where people who didn't even like the deceased suddenly pretend like they were best buddies and so on.

Doesn't mean I wished him to be a vegetable.

Well thank god you're here to remind us of your opinion.

#22 · Jan 31, 2016

Agreed JPS, He is my most disliked driver of all time after Hamilton, I just didn't want anyone getting their panties in a twist.

He singlehandedly ruined F1 in a number of ways in my opinion. Manipulation was one of his great strengths, and I don't say that in a good way. As you noted earlier, we have discussed his effect on the lower ranks of the racing ladder when I was competing, and he made some of the dodgy driving we see as acceptable today his trademark.

Yep, that's a large part of what makes this forum go round.

Why, we have you to tell us of your opinion of the greatness of Cassius Clay.

propagandhi · Jan 31, 2016

Nah man,don't even go there. I made valid points in a boxing thread about ali (quite telling you insist on calling him clay...well he's only 3/5s of the man you are so i get it).
You take the stoner boner fest to talk .... about a car driver for the umpteenth time.
Big difference

Am I missing something re Clay/Ali?

I call him that because it was his given name, and I don't recognize Islam as anything more than a cancer that he sadly succumbed to.
