Here we go again.

I agree with you, Juan has himself to blame. BUT, and its a big but, I doubt this story is even true. The media talk alot of cr@p lately, and stirring the Schumacher v Montoya pot gets attention, as seen here recently. In all the interviews seen recently, it would appear the two people least thinking about Brazil, is Michael and Juan themselves. These 2 are pro's, and will just get on with it. As should we. |

"I believe you want to win but you want to win fairly I don't want to get home and say I won because I pushed that guy off."
WDC ´94 comes to my mind... "I want to say I won because I was the quickest". That´s my boy ! Go Juan Go !!! |

I put odds of 2/1 that this will turn into another of those threads
Frankly, the media is being its usually sensationalist self and trying to cause a rift between two drivers who, although they probably don't really care for each other, certainly don't dislike each other as much as the media tends to report. JPM has got on with the job this weekend. Simple as that. |

"I want to say I won because I was the quickest". by JPM.
Definitely!! but you have to be the quickest most of the laps, not the 1st lap only and you have to have patience in overtaking, you can't win by talking too much and banging on the rear of the World Champion! Last edited by f1grandprixshop; 14 Apr 2002 at 05:05. |

Right or wrong, It's quite justified that he is angry. I mean...it doesnt really matter who is at fault in Brazil, but that JPM is just furious that he came out worse in that incident.
Truthfully, he should just start to get on with the job and stop fuelling the press to cause more debate in the media. It won't do him, nor anyone any good.The press can really blow things out of proportion, and he is providing the twigs to keep the fire burning. I really just prefer drivers who do most of their talkings on the race track, and not out to devalue others. So should JPM just shut up and not say a thing at all?? NO! We get most of our infos from press...if he keep quiet..we would be so bored. If JPM find something unfair happens, he can voice it out in the press conference, to the FIA, and to the media post-race...to notify everyone...but that's it, not go about saying the same things "he is unfair, i am the good guy" for a few weeks in every given opportunity...because the more he moans...the more it would make people question the motive of his quotes. So what about Brazil? A hard racing accident...nothing more, no rights no wrongs. |

it amazes me how a driver cannot say a single thing against the almighty god TFG, and not be dragged over the coals by the TFG disciples on this forum.
the guy was hard done by and is just stating his opinion. got it????????? |

I think it's a good sign that Montoya had a talk with Whiting about this. (I assume he had this conversation on friday or saturday).
He doesn't have to change his opinion to match with what the others say. But by having talks like this he is learning a lot about how others view the incident, how race directors act or react, and how each of the other drivers act and react in situations like this. |

Hope you didn't misinterprete my post... I am saying...JPM should NOT shut up...but talk to the press AND authorities about the problems... He should really say it...not keep mum about it...even if it is against MS...but he should also know when he had said enough and stop. Hope that clears things up... |

He was quite right to talk to Whiting about it. He has a reasonable point of view, and there's a larger principle here that has nothing to do with who was at fault on the first lap of the last race. Not whining at all.

2 weeks and he's still crying about an incident that was clearly his fault.
God, its like this guy is following DC's example. Just get over it. Quit whining, quit crying. Just drive the car. |

I agre with eatapc on this one, exactly how was this whinging?
He's not complaining, merely asking for clarification from the Chief Steward. Please explain to me why that is wrong. |

If he's talking about Brazil, I don't think he has a case and I'd call it whinging... If he's talking about Malaysia..well..it's getting a little old...
If he just means the general favortism that TGF receives, he definately has a case. Sadly, I don't think he will get away with it, and is likely just hurting his chances even more. If he's not careful, he may find himself in more trouble with the FIA... I remember in 1997 Jacques made a few not so nice comments about the FIA and that combined with a number of other silly things (not staying close enough to the safety car, not slowing down enough for red flags) meant he was on probation for most of the season. |

He asked for a clarification of the rules because of the seemingly inconsistent interpretations from race to race. He's not the only driver asking for that. (And aren't we all asking for it also?) Here are some quotes from the news story; tell me where it sounds like whining: "I had a chat with Charlie and I explained my point of view and he kind of agreed with what I said and he said he was going to look at it. ... It is just for the future. The thing should be revised - what is blocking and what is not blocking?"
Mr. Max has made it known that he doesn't appreciate drivers airing their gripes directly to the press. Going to Whiting with the gripe was the proper thing to do. When he was questioned by the press, he was pretty level headed about it. What you have to understand is that the press asks the drivers how they feel about these incidents, so its not necessarily the drivers who bring these things up week after week.

Juan is doing nothing wrong there.
We all want the rules to be clear so everyone knows where they stand . |

He's been around long enough to know the rules. But anyway, giving him the benefit of the doubt, there is no further reasons for him continue whining and sulking over what is now history. He should get on with it - instead of following DC's example as F1's premier whiner.

When Schumacher moans there isent a lack of people on this forum to pounce on him for it. The only troubling part is that the rest of time as well, there are people who are always waiting to take cheap shots at him. That part - in my book - is just sour grapes on the part of some of my distinguished fellow posters.

I am not sure I would be concerned about the balance of people trashing other drivers versus what MS receives. Look at the threads, and which ones get the heavy responses i.e., Michael this, Michael that, Ferrari cheats. Give it a rest. |
