Зашто Шуми буљаш?!
Schumacher’s grand theft auto
He may be the most famous and celebrated Formula 1 driver in the world, but for a couple of races earlier in his career, Michael Schumacher pretended to be a flustered pensioner who’d forgotten his glasses.
In Adelaide in 1994, the last race of the season, Schumacher led Damon Hill by a point in the Driver’s Championship when he lost control and clipped a guard barrier before bouncing back onto the track.
As Hill tried to pass, Schumacher steered his damaged car directly into Hill’s path, bending the Englishman’s suspension and ensuring both had to retire. With no points scored between them, the German held on to win the title.
Three years later the scenario repeated, with Schumacher leading Jacques Villeneuve by a point in the season finale in Spain. When his Ferrari started leaking coolant, he pulled it wide, then back into the path of Villeneuve’s Williams. This time, though, the damage wasn’t enough to stop Villeneuve carrying on to win.
The Shoe, of course, denies that either crash was intentional. To crash one opponent, Mr Schumacher, might be regarded a misfortune…
