    I don't know if Eddie Eddie really does not know it better or if he just does not want another drive give credits in team building...its not a coincidence that Brawn and Byrne followed Michael from Benetton to Ferrari one year later. Surely not. And that believe that Schumacher was not involved and the initiating man, is at least naive. Also its well known that Schumacher was involved heavily. Ross and Rory told that more than once, also Willi Weber told the story. And Rob Smedley, Ross Brawn, Nigel Stepney - they all told Michael abilities, being more than just a driver.

      He’s right about American democracy. Sanders was crushed by the Dem establishment in both 2016 and 2020, same happened to Corbyn in the UK around the same time. Republican establishment tried to crush Trump but couldn’t do it. Then Hillary wins by 3 million votes but doesn’t get in ! It’s not a democracy.

      Dear friend. I am by no means a Trump supporter. I'm obviously a liberal, in the classical sense of the word. Today's liberals, like Clinton, are fucking morons who know nothing about reality. That is why Trump has won the elections. People are not idiots so they chose the lesser of 2 evils.

    • @-BuddyGuy
      @-BuddyGuy Před 7 lety +2

      If you think Trump is the lesser of two evils you are clearly an idiot. I recommend keeping your political opinions to yourself because some people you know might be too embarrassed to tell you, and instead will just avoid contact.

    • @JuanPabloMontoya
      @JuanPabloMontoya Před 7 lety

      Listen, maybe I phrased it incorrectly, but I meant that Trump is the lesser evil for "people", that's probably why he ended up winning. I am by no means a Trump supporter, hey, I come from a fucked up country called Lebanon where we have terrorists and we don't get to vote.
      What I believe to be true is that the right is the ONLY one correctly diagnosing, albeit naively, the global islamic jihad issue. You cannot underestimate the effect that security (be it physical or economic) plays in your presidential vote. That's it. I think that on this issue, the world's left is committing mass suicide, and in a way, since I reside in a western country AS A FOREIGNER, I think that my security is paramount.
      So yeah, I am obviously a classic liberal, but the fact that Clinton would have taken almost opposite stances on security matters is what makes her more dangerous than Trump.
      Is that too heavy for your cunty brain to comprehend? I have never seen a more hysterical reaction to a lost election. Jeez.
      Edit: Just now, I read about the attack in Manchester that has claimed 22 lives (children included), I think it was at an Ariana Grande concert or something. So you tell me... What is the left actually doing to prevent this? Are they even aware that this is a problem?

      How about trying to move towards energy efficiency and away from warmongering, or avoiding tarring all muslims with the same brush, or helping refugees. Instead of making friends with dictators in Turkey, Russia and publishing a crude poorly thought out foreign policy that changes by the minute. Trump doesn't have a stance on security matters.

    Michael was exaggerated...omg, Eddie. If he was exaggerated why you were 1 second slower than him, almost always??? In 1996 and 97 somtimes 1.5 seconds...Malaysia 99 over a second...and constantly, always much faster than you??? What were you then, if a exaggerated driver constantly was 1 second faster than you, beaten you even if he had fallen asleep behind the steering wheel...if driver who constantly has beaten you with such a huge difference in laptimes - you were an extremely bad driver! You Must be...as you were so much slower than someone exaggerated...
    The funny thing is today you say exaggerated...tomorrow you say how brilliant and unbeatable he was...what the hell? Sorry but Eddie Irvine is just someone who talks too much if the day is long...today he says the World is round, tomorrow he says its flat...

      How is "A lot of what's being said about Michael is exaggerated but his ability to drive a car was second to none" controversial?
      He might just taking reference some of the mean stuff being told about him
      He even adds: "At that stage he was worth huge amounts of time over every other driver" and its obvious he means laptime

      He is a drunker hahaa. Eddie lost to Barrichello and we all know that he sign with ferrari because he accept the terms shumi imposes in the secound driver. After losing all seasons they had to have a competitive secound driver and schumacher won because of his talent obvious but with a good help of his team mate.

    Irvine is the true world champion 1999 in my opinion, because he gave his very best and beyond, he deserved that title, it's incredible as without Schumacher he fought tough and Ferrari won constructor championship thanks to him overall

    • @michaelastockbauer672
      @michaelastockbauer672 Před 5 lety +2

      Sorry but Eddie did NOT deserve the title back in 99...he fought tough, but he made too much mistakes and was not fast enough...just look what Michael Schumacher did at his comeback in Malaysia with the F399...that shows that Eddie just was too slow. And under that pressure after Michaels accident he made too many mistakes. A driver who is just too slow and makes too much mistakes he does not deserve the title . Schumacher showed in Malaysia how good the F399 was...how good Ferrari developed that car...how fast they made it...but EDDIE was not fast enough. The F399 was at least as good as the McLaren in the second half of the Season. Schumacher proved that since his Comeback in Malaysia...so no Eddie DID OBVIOUSLY not deserve the title. He had everything he needed. A car that was fast, Support of the Team and his Teammate...but he was not driving good enough. And made too much mistakes...
