so bernie wants schumacher to win all the remaining races, so the fans and viewers will keep watching to see if he can do it.
that way people can't say it is boring(which i think it is by the way)and bernies happy, sponsors are happy, and the tv companies are happy.
after all even the greatest british racer this country has had (nigel mansell) says f1 is boring and after the start he can't bear to watch it.

Isn't that the point, though, Andy 1? - people want to see healthy competition, drama, overtaking - not one bloke driving into the distance race after race. It will be an incredible achievement for Schumacher if he can win the rest of the 'races', but a spectator friendly experience, it aint
Slightly off topic, but to illustrate what I mean, I watched the World Superbike races from Laguna Seca, last night - I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The combination of a circuit that makes Cadwell Park look flat & some excellent camera work, highlighting the supreme skill & bravery of the riders, was superb. I know which I would rather watch, these days, & I've been a fan of F1 since I was a kid.
