Don't forget when Scummi needed some adjustments to his car before a race. He tried to knock the nose cone off by tapping the wall before a race in hopes of getting a red flag, and time to tune up his car. Instead they started under yellow.

Yeah... someone should compile a website of Schumi-cheats because when you add them all up, it's quite astonishing. Don't forget when in the rain, he rain into the back of DC, and then claimed DC slammed on his brakes. Then he tried to pick a fight with DC in the pits.

Moron!

Hmmm, can you imagine a tobacco company pulling their sponsorship because of ethical questions related to the driver? I can't.

Yes, but Marlboro is a Ferrari team sponsor, not a MS individual sponsor.

The German bank who's advertising space is on his ball cap is the type I'm talking about (they pay him US$7 million annually for that single spot).

I guess my point is I doubt the sponsors care what happens on the track, short of their guy doing well. Should they? Yes. Do they? Not likely.

That's too bad if that is indeed the case. I would want anyone I sponsor (if i could be in that position) to be a role-model on and off the track.

Geez, in politics people have had their careers ruined for less than the crap Schumi has pulled.
