Schumacher Could Kill Himself!

Schumacher Could Kill Himself!

Dale Calkins

Sir Jackie Stewart has stated that Michael Schumacher is pushing to hard and that he could kill himself. Stewart believes that if Michael had been racing like he is now during Stewart's time, Schumacher could very well have killed himself. This is what Jackie had to say about Schumacher's Australian performance:

"Schumacher made a lot of mistakes during the weekend and you are not allowed to make mistakes that frequently at this level. That was a very big accident, but in our day we couldn't afford to do it because you got killed. You needed to have a clearer limit of your expectations because you couldn't possibly afford to go off the road.

Count the number of times Jim Clark went off the road. It didn't happen very often, but when he did he got killed. If you take liberties like that, it bites you. Eventually it bit Michael."

Perhaps Sir Jackie Stewart is right, perhaps Schumacher was just pushing too hard. Unfortunately, with the car Michael had in Australia, he could not and would not do anything else.
