Here's a bad line vs good line series....

Bad Line!

Look at the entering angle and his front wheels and then the next turn and the amount of front wheel angle and he STILL missed the apex!

And here's a little better line thru this same "turns" which this guy is taking correctly -- Note the front wheel angles! Or LACK THEREOF!!

Hey Greg, you do know your telling 7 time world champion Michael Schumacher how to drive? The best F1 driver of all time

What do the photos tell you?!?!?

A simple question -- which version do you think was off line? Which version do you think was faster through these turns?

Maybe he was bored and fell asleep.... "Oh Shiat! I have a turn coming up...."

I would add that Michael Schumacher is #18 on the F1 standings with a whopping 2 points.... That would put him 59 points behind the current leader.

Perhaps his line could use some improvement?

Interesting perspective on the race, thanks for all the posts.

I find it interesting that you mentioned it is so hard to get around the track, because I found the same thing at the Belgium GP at Spa years ago, which is one of the grand old road courses. It is as if the organizers really don't give a crap about how well the spectators can actually see a race, and maybe they don't. A GP is an EVENT, not necessarily a race.

Schumacher was actually on pole position before the 5 grid position penalty for an infraction at the last race. He's an old guy, give him some credit.

Actually, those pictures point out how hard it is to see speed. His car seems to have a lot of understeer, but it may just look that way because he was going faster.

Have a good trip.
