schumacher a character... that statement just belies the absolute lack of characters in the sport. i presume you speak of michael not ralf (dtm midfield punchbag) schumacher....
in years gone we had the likes of nelson piquet, an unbelievably brilliant ruthless driver, intelligent and a total nutjob...
piquet vs salazar- hockenheim 1982
taking the piss out of alain prost
piquet vs de cesaris (another gem of a character) - monaco 1989
piquet vs de cesaris again- monza 1991
piquet and mansell vs murray walker 1985

legend!
plenty more. james hunt, clay reggazoni, jaques laffite, rene arnoux, saturo nakajima, gerhard berger, riccardo patrese, mario andretti, derek warwick, keke rosberg, alan jones, bruno giacomelli... i could go on but all make the schumachers and everyone else in the paddock look decidedly 2 dimensional.....
coultard will be up for it tho.. as too will kubica. the latest forecast is rain.. all day from morning til evening in monaco.... interesting indeed!
