Surely a heresy for the purists will turn out from classic music to place in the same line the native virtuoso of Bonn, Ludwig van Beethoven, with the boy of Hurth-Hellmülheim,

Arms in stop of pentacampeón

Michael Schumacher, but as well as first universally is met by his masterpieces, especially the villa, almost two centuries later his young compatriot finishes concluding equal number of collection pieces encumbran that it - in case it were necessary - in the exclusive group of the greatest sportsmen of history.
In France Michael Schumacher it advanced all the celebrations, it gained the crown with claw, it equaled Juan Manuel Fangio and the accounts do not pause. What can more be demanded it to pentacampeón of the world of Formula One?
If the one of Brazil we considered it had been his better action when it made debut with the matchless F2002, the one of France surpasses that one performance fully. Wheel battled to wheel during all the test, they penalized it by triviality - rules are clear and not reclamation leaves space for - while the most diligent observers will have noticed once again whom the car by a line of race completely different from the one took from the rest of the squad, especially in a curve of almost 180 degrees towards the left. It is consequence of the car or its handling. The retirement of Rubens Barrrichello prevented the two comparison of Ferraris, but very it is known that Michael owns a unique style, review that can find in the English version of F1 Racing of June of 1997 that it said: What does to Schumacher different from the others.

Red by all sides

Today all must be praises, I could not be of another way. It is very difficult to find something new that to add before this new masterpiece of teutón, fruit of its inexhaustible capacity and the extraordinary support of the Ferrari house and the human contingent composes that it, amalgamates of creative that reaffirms the new concept of the European Union, although the end item conserves like is justice the Italian flag, national and world-wide passion that scattered for more than half century unforgettable Don Enzo.

Ferrari, the ideal equipment

Nobody can dare to divide the vital importance of the pilot and the machine, although unfortunately the percentage always goes in favor of the mechanical component. In 1975 they asked to him Colin Chapman, the magician of Lotus, what would do if it had the budget of Ferrari (in Maranello they will have had discreet designers, nonwinning pilots, but never they have lacked economic resources) to which the brilliant constructor responded: “Not as much it is the money, but the possibility of having a track to five minutes of the factory, like which they have in Fiorano. If it counted on the same conditions, it would jeopardize to me to being champion of the world during ten years of consecutive way…”. It seems that the words of the English were later made a quarter effective of century, with the aggregate fundamental to have an exceptional pilot, as it in the person of Jim had Clark.

CARRERON IN MAGNY COURS

Victory of Schummy in France

Clear that when rendering to us before the feat of the German we run the risk of ignoring a test like the one of France, where there was spectacle and of the good one, of which are in the memory by many reasons: the consecration of Schummy, the rate of the McLaren and especially the one of Raikkonen, new pole and the acrobatics of Montoya to conserve the car in track, the eighth place of Webber with the Minardi, the cantinflesca figure of the Barrichello poor man in the other Ferrari, until the brutal blow of Fisichella. In Magny Cours also a scene was repeated that many must remember and that Paul Ricard 1990 occurred, when Alain Prost, then in Ferrari, on the epilog pursued to the Italian Iván Capelli in a March-Judd, in which it was the hundredth triumph of the Ferrari house and the occasion nearer than had the Milanese one gain the victory.
In this opportunity the amazing Kimi Raikkonen also directed towards his first conquest, legitimate reward product of a handling spectacular and spoiled soon after the end by a small excursion outside asphalt when losing the breaking point; thus it curses his luck by the oil scattered near the Adelaida curve, of the hardest way the Kimi blonde will have learned that in the F1 the unique thing that counts is to arrive at the goal in the first place and where the minimum error is not allowed. Thus it is because of others. In renewed McLaren-Mercedes-Michelin, David Coulthart as soon as it could be satisfied to seeing the back aileron of his pair, but confirmed the progress of the anglian-Germanic combination, especially after papelón fulfilled in the uncertain climate of England. The perfect surface of Magny Cours helped as never to the performance of you shoot with an arrow of silver, confidence injection that can merit to him other satisfactions before culminating the year and it is not any secret that all long for that one of them is for the young Finn.

A repeated image

Saturday was another day of which the Monty-Position could well be called, preceded by the horrible shock of Fisichella in the Jordan. Like all the steering wheels of their generation, the Italian must be thankful ENTRUSTS to it for being so demanding in the matter of security. In that particular duel that is lived with as much intensity as the same race, Juan Pablo Montoya returned to remain with best crono after surpassing in mammoth fight to the Schumacher de Ferrari, although to date the unique reward for the Colombian has been merely statistical, with nine poles in twenty-seven presentations, beside the point amazing number. In race, more of the same, from the BMW-Williams holding more by the maneuvers of the pilot in its attempt to take it to the limit that by kindness of the package, and the aerial taking correcting the unsalvable thing was the best reflection than suffered the native of Bogota. Its coequipero Ralf returned to happen unnoticed although his chances to reach the subchampionship stays inalteradas, since now Juan occupies Pablo although with minimum margin.
And in a day of historical celebrations, there was somebody of a discreet way but safe it continues demonstrating that in spite of the mechanical limitations it has that something special to make the difference. We talked about to Mark Webber in the Minardi-Asiatech. The Australian arrived eighth and although he did not add like the day of its lucky debut before its public, the curve that recalls the circuit of Adelaide him must have brought luck. To culminate to a return of the winner is almost one victory for the men of Paul Stoddart and Webber sounds like candidate in some armchairs that are available. As in the case of the Spanish Fernando Alonso, emerged from the small then square property of Giancar it Minardi, Webber has demonstrated that thus it leads the worse car can be secured results that allow to capture the attention of the great equipment.
Finally, it is possible to find some explanation to the repeated faults of Barrichello in the procedure of warm-up lap. In Brazil countryman deceives of his changing “a” of his last name by “u”, but we resisted to think that all the responsibility is of paulista, but then one asks why the same does not happen to Schumacher, whose unique precedent we found similar it in the started one of Suzuka 1998 when in the second exit its machine went out, which left the way expeditious to Mika Hakkinen.

THE INHERITANCE DE BON TRIPS

Bon Trips, other times

As if of that one wonderful British program of called television Connections, in which the events of history are entretejen and where each fact triggers still more in transcendental other, recently we obtained in a Spanish publication (we are not safe if it were the yearbook of Motor Ace or Sport Car Motorcycle), a likeable landmark of an event that took place in Germany by the end of the fifty.
At that time, count Wolfgang Berge von Trips, the main figure of Germanic motoring, took to his country small bolides acquired in the called United States go-karts and inaugurated a rent track. One of the ones in charge of that one new establishment was a young person of Schumacher last name, that years later became independent and instilled in its son born the 3 from January of 1969 the taste by the speed, “infection” that also attacked the second piston rod although apparently with a dose of smaller intensity.
Jackie Stewart said that a pilot who boasts must win in more than an occasion the title of conductors. It did it to the Scot in three opportunities, from which the mark of Schumacher does not allow the minimum reproach. And partisans will not need his that invoke the lost occasions like those of triennium 97-99, but then Alain Prost or Jimmy Clark, would not respectively have four and two crowns but seven and four. That is exciting of the numbers and the marks: it is not necessary to come near, it is necessary to break them and they make only the chosen ones it. Four decades have happened of the romantic one and tragic history of Bon Trips (dead in a Ferrari in Monza 1961 when it was directed to the world-wide title of F1) lives its more glorious hour thanks to the consecutive trichampionship on the Cavallino Rampante into the hands of Michael Schumacher, pilot who above to the legendary mark of five crowns to as well equal the greatest - with the pardon of which they dissent so of anticipated - Juan Manuel Fangio.
Many would have hoped nth comparison with Crooked of Balcarce, and although it is truth that the Argentinean competed and won at other times, is not less certain that like today, then everything was given for being the best one, the equipment placed in track their last models, were millionaire investments, but the subtle difference between the victory and the defeat marked the life to it: an error or a mechanical fault had that price, from which the same Schumacher does not accept the comparisons, conscious of the lucky person that are when leading a carbon fiber F1, with 200 meters of zones of protection which on more than one ocassion have allowed him to increase their mythical trajectory already.

KIND NO, WINNER

What Schumacher uses a machine superior? The best pilots always had her because they gained it. What Michael is arrogant and egoistic? We have reached the unfortunate conclusion that in that atmosphere is essential to be it, the good natured boys are in the university, but he will not lack knows that in depth and says it the opposite, and we will not doubt him, like either of the familiar character of Montoya or any other protagonist.
If the confidence and allow it to the time, the journalist can get to discover that all the pilots are “normal” people, with tastes almost similar to the common one of people, but who are put under immense pressures protecting itself in an unconquerable armor, or almost. The tears of Schumacher in the French celebration were really touching, as also they were it those of Hakkinen in Monza years ago, shows concrete of the sensitivity of these men, distant of image of pilots-robots who some endorse to them.

Fangio, the other pentacampeón

Nobody can try to find to a Valentino Rossi version motorist. The Italian ace is the exception of the exceptions. Those of the two wheels are and will be always another type of people, with other tastes and principles, not in vain the majority that competes in the Continental Circus duer me in its own motorhomes or rolling houses within the circuit, unimaginable in the sumptuous scene of the F1. Hopefully, it would be a blessing for the world of the four wheels to discover to an exceptional talent with the gift of the charisma and spontaneity, but definitively or he is pleasant or he is the best one. It will not even lack who it recommends to Barrichello to stop to him saluting to the camera in grilla of released, and not knowing if it has relation or no, it has been a gesture that has generated him terrible results.
The fight by “the first place of the losers”, is worth to clarify, the second, is more interesting than ever, four separated pilots the same number of points will make entertainments the races come and where we will see if the monarch yields his voracious appetite in favor of his companion or if the Williams and the McLaren can materialize the advances that have shown in the last exits.
