i can certainly prove it wasn't

Frans, it's good to see you've figured out how to survive in the post-Schumacher era. I feared for your future after he retired.

are you sure?

or maybe he was too busy at the moment...

This conspirisy will probably gather pace after Nurburg. Kimi's record in Germany is woeful.

2002 Tyre failure at Hockenheim.
2003 Engine failure while leading at Nurburg and first corner shunt at Hockenheim with Rubens and Ralf
2004 rear wing failure while running 2nd at Hockenheim and Engine failure at Nurburg
2005 that tyre failure 1 lap from home at Nurburg and Hydraulic failure while leading Hockenheim
2006 a respectible 4th Nurburg and 3rd at Hockenheim the latter from pole after an incorrectly short filled Q3 fuel load that he had to carry into the race.

So is 2006 a trend to indicate improved luck and form or is it merly a blip in a country that has not been kind to Kimi's F1 racing?

Well well well, you may be on to something! Finally some real coincidences to mull over.
The question is, where does Kimi go while Michael flatters his car?


Cooper

Just think of all the many, many times it was reported that Michael Schumacher was "afraid" of Kimi. Perhaps
the shoe is actually on the other foot and it is Kimi who is afraid (and of a man not even in a car!!)

If we have to put up with JYS, Mansell, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Kiki Rosberg, Eddie Irving, Johnny Herbert and a screed of other previous WDCs and hasbeens giving their opinions whilst at the track why should Michael be made to feel unwelcome. Interestingly Michael and Mikka, the heavenly duo, are the only ones who know when to keep their mouths shut. Keep on coming to F1 Michael and remind the present string of drivers just what a great champion looks like

Careful, Frans is very sensitive to this statements. "Jos would've outraced MS had the latter not cheated" ;)

There is certainly some kind of conspiracy against Kimi is going on...

AH!!



DO YOU SEE THE LINK???? His FORMER chief mechanic!!!!! if that's not wierd!!!!

Pole despite MS presence.

The precense of MS was overcome by the presence of Kimi's grandma. Maybe she should be present a bit more often.

Is that Grandma and Mother?

Yes

Which is which?

Hmm, there might be some partial truth. I mean that chicane called Schumacher S.

So, is your conpiracy that MS presentation has bad effect on Kimi still true?

Do you ever accept that you are wrong for once?

the race still has to be driven, dUh, so the theory still stands.

And... I am usually always right, ... so? ...

On Saturday Schumacher sabotaged just the wrong car, in the corner of his own name. But we all know Michael, he doesn't make same mistake twice.

again

Oooooo! Looks like the curse strikes again. Schumie should be burned as a witch.

Edit: I like the close up on schumie afterwards. Just to underline the point...

STAY OUT OF THE PITS MICHAEL!!!!

Frans is indeed always right.

Loved that shot of Schumacher trying not to smile on TV after KR's DNF

He probably just had pressed the infamous "Rubens-button" on the pit wall

That was disgusting. Like I said MS's lurking at the pitwall will destroy Ferrari.

Frans

WTF?!?

this thread is hillarious.

As predicted by the theory, Kimi was not able to win. There was something wrong with his Ferrari...(wonder how come...... sabotage maybe? ..... not so wierd at all ... ...) a podium was also out of the question when I heared (he was still driving at that point) that Michael would be on the podium ...... when his car failed, it was no suprise for me.

And how typical how he 'smiled' indeed .....

I'm not sure who threw that Witch-hat thing on the track.... Massa didn't seem to miss one from his car, while it was (thrown) by an so far unknown person on the straight..... ( was it indeed... in front of the Ferrari pits/? ) the plot thickens.

Separated at birth?

The Wicked Witch of the West



Michael Schumacher

Frans:

The witch hat was/is a Renault item, You are Dutch and if you had seen the RTL 7 reports in the past weeks, Olav Mol showed it on one occasion on a saturday afternoon "what's new on pttlane" overview.

Besides that: Kimi had already retired by that time so why should Michael throw it at the track?


I agree that is is indeed curious that when MS is around Kimi can't win but that he is involved with it????


Henri

Steady Frans, you're starting to sound a little tongue-in-cheek now; you do your best work when you appear serious

didn´t see it.
can i find it somewhere?

a little curious indeed.... and that's an understatement.

I could take it bolder ..... If someone gives me a list of the remaining races, and shows me at what races on sundays Michael will be present at the track, I can tell you when he (Kimi) will NOT win a race. And flawless as well.

Just like that.

(we are already over the 1st half of the season ... this theory may look wierd, but it still stands ground!)

I wonder why would the German tv director have switched immediately to Michael, after showing Kimi rollin in the pitlane?

Seriously, I thought that this belief that when "Michael is present / Kimi breaks", was only present here on this BB.

Yes you are. It's usually not really a discussion with you, is it? You're just telling how it is. Sort of like talking with Jehova's Witnesses.

On the other hand: I'm sure there are numerous ways to explain why Raikkonen will win the next race with Schumacher present. - MS will allow it because he want's to throw sand into the eyes of them who believe he has something to do with it. So it's really a no-win situation for MS. If you have your mind set up for conspiracy and to use a psycho-term: Are using this as a personal construct to view at the world. (Or whatever glasses you look at the world through) than that is what you will see.

Dear God, some of you people are actually SERIOUS!

Just a small bit at the end. Not enough really, but nevertheless it was interesting for the Director to show Schumie immediately after Kimi's retirement.

Well. It was the german GP and Schumacher got a great deal of attention during the weekend. I think, due to his presence and the amount of showtime he's gotten throughout the race, it's everything but interesting to speculate why they switched to him when one of "his" drivers went out, don't you think?

It would me maybe more strange if the switched immedeately to Ron Dennis or Mario Theissen to see their reactions if you ask me, but then again - it doesn't fit in with the theory presentet here...

It's because this theory is so true, other people are seeing it as well! Isn't it obvious by now? Why else?

( I won't tell ya all it was ME at that directors seat........ )

According to RTL there was no German TV director.
Over the weekend the RTL reporter (Heiko Waßer) said more than once that RTL wasn't responsible for the pictures because this season the broadcasting of all F1 races is done by Bernie Ecclestone TV.

Fingers crossed he will DNF.

isn't that an Masonic-Illuminati kind of ring on his finger? ..... oooh yeah .... it's getting clear now... much much clearer!!!

Great to see you back Frans, i needed this thread to get the week started .... that Kimi DNF was surely suspicious.


Zooropa21

Frans...you rascal.

You made this thread to one of the most hilarious threads I have ever read.

Can anybody take you seriously.

Obviously some did.

Keep on.

Best: Staffan

Got(suspiciously)= English no:))) quiet in here
Did Frans step on a sore point

Or??? why so quiet.

Best.

I rewatched longer taped version of that moment.
Schumaher raises his eyebrows and to me, he looks either sad or puzzled, - i'm not sure.
