Michael has ahabit of cheating on the track ie not allowing faster cars to pass but he is a good driver and does not need to so why does he do it

It is in his character to be like that. Ask Damon or Jaques, they will give you their view I`m sure. The whole Ferrari/Schumacher thing seems to be based on cheating one way or another, traction control a few years ago, flexi-wings recently..it just goes on and on.
Maybe when he retires he will get american citizenship (they love a winner) and take up cycling.

Hello? It's called racing. Formula One is not like Indy cars or is it CART where they aren't allowed to block the following drivers. Saying that, Michael has made a few suspect manoeuvres in the past, but name me a driver who hasn't. He is the number one driver out there, although only just, and the statistics say it all. Was busy Banger racing today so haven't seen race, but will be watching highlights tonight. But congratulations to Jenson, Pedro & Nick, good to finally see a different podium. Oh, and as to fivetoze, suggesting anyone is killed in any sport or walk of life is sick, I'd go and get help. I was at Imola in 1994, and I would not wish that on anyone.

because hes german, and he can.
we have a theory that hes not winning as much these days as hes used up all the virgins in his sacrifices to a higher god. and as my dear mum always said. cheats never prosper.
maybe bernie will change the rules to accomodate michael, personally im sick to death of the sausage eating meisterdriver. pity weve had all the H&S improvements, or maybe he'd do an ayrton, and sad as we'd be, we could get on with racing. oh, and could we also get rid of the F1 schumacher sychophants at the ITV racing.
shooey is good, but hes not that good anymore... and after todays episode the stewards ought to give him a drive thru penalty and adjust the rankings.
oh, and well done button... at last a win...well done, and youll notice the best of british didnt cheat, or pull a fast one, he just drove a better race, in a better car, with a better team behind him.

It can't be cheating, in the rules of formula one, deliberate obstruction will result in the driver being disquakified, it's a fine line between that and following the racing line at times granted, but all drivers are allowed to do that.

I really don't like schumacher I think he must pay the marshals a couple of thousand to shut up when he does drive dirty...have you noticed that when he wins a race in the press room where the interveiws are done he looks so bloody smug...no other driver does it.

learn to spell before you critise... everyone is so quick to label him as a cheat. Its such an ignorant response to label the sports most successful driver ever as a cheat. Would you call Alonso a cheat or a dirty driver!?! Cheaters don't prosper - heard that saying before!?! Cheaters don't win 7 World Championships!!!
HE'S A COMPETITOR AND HE'S DAMN GOOD AT IT!!

I've never quite understood this aspect of racing. It seems to me that strategy should play a part on the track. I can't pass someone on the highway unless they're out of the way. (Racing isn't all that exciting - to me, at least - without something besides "go fast, turn left, go fast, turn left, go fast, turn left," ad infinitum.)
Also, the slower MS goes, the more fuel he saves himself and all the other drivers who can't overtake him. He's doing his part for the environment. (Why DO people waste all of that fuel racing automobiles, anyhow?)

does anybody else think they give him an armour plated car to bash his way round the track in LOL
perhaps he read 'the art of war' and misunderstood the bit about avoiding confrontations except when absolutely necessary, or he has taken the old saying 'best form of offence is defence' to heart
either way, he uses bullying tactics and tries to put people off crossing him in future or make it known he will do anything to win

The most successful Formula 1 driver ever..Michael Schumacher.
Schumi ist Weltmeister! x7! (Schumi is World Champion! x7!)
Why?
coz to break a record of 7 isn't good for his heart and his avid fans,of course.--that's why!

It's all part of the mental battle to make other drivers lose their cool, and make a mistake.
He tries to bend the rules as far as possible, but sometimes breaks them.
