I feel that after SchMACKER retires as this years champion with the help of the FIA the sport will improve?

Question

what do you think???
I think the FIA are manipulating the results....only when it's so patently obvious (Rascasse Gate) are they punishing Ferrari...it's spoiling F1
Renault had the same system on their car in '05...why wasn't it banned then?
Now Alonso has been accused of blocking even though the stewards didn't feel it was deliberate....ETC ETC ETC

Answer 1

Well... Flavio Briatore is the first one who said that the championship was fixed. And looking closely at the situation, this is precisely the case.

This fixing of the championship is painfully obvious to people like the fans of Renault.
And I think this has gone too far. I think that the remaining races should be boycotted with 2 drivers crashing into the Ferrari drivers at the start.

Answer 2

The sport will improve or won't. Nothing to do with Schumacher retiring though. In fact, if Schumi retired, less people will watch F1 for a while.
Politics will continue. Backstage talks and under-the-table hand shakes also. They'll find a new villain, and a hero of sorts. There will be manipulations, cheating-and-getting-away-with-its, backstabbings, ambiguous and controversial decisions.
That's F1.
If everyone played by the rules and everyone was fair to each other, it'll be a bit like watching the Olympics (well, sort of..). So amateuristic! What I want is some "professionalism" (ie win at all cost, cheat if necessary, as long as you don't get caught).
"I did my best"...only amateurs and losers say that phrase. Pros will win without doing the best.
That's F1.
That's my kind of entertainment.

Answer 3

Far be it for me to be a Michael Schumacher apologist, but Formula One racing will NOT improve if and when he retires. Formula One racing will improve when we see more on-track passing at the front (of races) rather than lead changes during pit stops and, much as we can paint Michael Schumacher as a villain, we can't blame him for the lack of passing in modern F1 racing.
And, while I'm on a rant, I wish people would stop using that dreadful suffix, `gate' to describe all wrongdoings/scandals; it's a tired old cliché from 1972, it's misused and overused and it's time to put it to rest.
Down off the soapbox.
