What others are saying:
Notorious my fellow countryman is either a complete moron
or he didn't watch the race. Coulthard if anything was the aggressor in that incident and
Schumacher merely out braked him and got past. This is racing and the fact that we see so
little of it these days I find it unbelievable that someone would refer to it as suicide.
Let the team tactics rage on, the more dirt in the sport the better. You can not tell me
that the days of the bitter Senna and Prost rivalry that it wasn't great for the sport and
exciting as well. As far as I'm concerned Schumacher is the only driver in the sport in
the true champion class of the 2 drivers above so this to me makes him a law unto himself,
its just a pity he has had to calm down a little in recent years due to political
correctness of the sport.
Incidents like Jerez in 97 and Suzuka 89 and 90 are great moments in the sports history
and there should be more of them. Remember winning is everything sportsmanship means
nothing. No one remembers a good sportsman who won nothing. Let the war continue and I
look forward to Schumacher's third world championship and 43rd GP victory and the whole
world can pay the homage and respect to the great man that he so richly deserves

Team tactics will always be used to allow the car and
driver in the TEAM to get the best result for the TEAM.
Years ago, teams changed drivers mid race to get the best result. The way it's handled now
is fine, in a way there is a loss of dicing but the guy behind still has to try darn hard
to get past - Terry - Canada
What I would like to know is, lets say the passing maneuver
MS pulled on DC in the last GP occurs again except the roles are reversed, where for this
situation Coulthard is trying to get past Michael in the same suicidal manner and as a
result they both crash out, what then ? Can the governing body hold Mika liable in any
way? Because lets admit it, if this maneuver was executed by MS on MH then surely they
would have taken each other out, It's a good thing David was gentleman enough not to jump
on the throttle when they were going side-by-side, or else sure it had disaster written
all over it - Notorious - Australia
Before we suggest that Team Tactics rob us of exciting
duels lets look at the facts.
We have only two teams that are at the front when it comes
to the races. Therefore races have a very limited number of exciting Duels at the best of
times. Secondly I'm concerned as to why this topic has suddenly become Headline news when
the Macs finally suss out how team racing is done. I certainly don't remember discussion
on this subject last year...despite Schumacher being the best wingman there is...
Team Tactics are the only thing that's going to liven up
the next two races. Trying to judge different tactics on fuel and pit stops is one of the
few pleasures a race watcher can still enjoy. Why remove this factor from the equation
just when it becomes most important.
Lets also inject some honesty into the argument. There are
no steps or actions that Michael Schumacher will not take in order to win a championship.
There are however lengths which Coulthard and Hakkinen will not go to in their quest for a
McLaren victory. This has been proved twice by Schumacher at decisive championship
moments. The FIA even warned of draconian penalties for any such deliberately dangerous
driving before the title decider in 1997.
Bearing all this in mind, would it not be better for F-1 to
allow team tactics almost to avoid another direct duel between the top runners. especially
if you consider the number of times these have ended in disaster. What about Senna Vs
Prost. Twice these two tangled and the championship was decided before the first corner!
Twice since has the championship been decided due to similar and blatantly dangerous
driving.
We all know that if it comes down to a decider and Mika is
behind Michael, then Michael would drive him off the track rather than lose the title.
Who wants to see that again? - Dom - UK
As they say what goes around comes around and we can be
pretty sure that given half a chance, Coulthard will try to hold up Schumacher, further
Suzuka should lend itself to that ort of tactic.
This is clearly what Schumacher did in Malaysia last year,
the only thing McLaren could have done was something inventive with pit strategy, however
this would probably have meant Hakkinen getting 'bogged down' in traffic.
Whilst I fully agree that this is not sporting, how can you
say when a driver is driving at 100pct and when he is deliberately dropping 0.5 to 1.0
second per lap relative to his team-mate? - Dunder - Hong Kong
McLaren could still win the championship
Last year Hakkinen could resist the pressure in Suzuka and won the world title.
Even though Schumacher is on top of Hakkinen now? He still has a lot of pressure also.
McLaren is a dependable team I believe they could put team tactics as DC should be helping
Hakkinen to create a situation where they keep out Schumacher to be on 2nd place at least.
Well I put a sportsmanship and fair race of course, it will be a tough race and
interesting to watch! - Wisnu W - Indonesia
