Why people should give Schumacher a break

Michael Schumacher has been criticised for his performance in Canada, with former team-mate Martin Brundle even saying it was the worst race the German had ever driven. Tony Dodgins disagrees

Canada Schumacher's worst race? Don't think so...

Michael Schumacher has come in for quite a bit of flak for his performance in the Canadian Grand Prix but I've got to say, I enjoyed it.

Martin Brundle said in the BBC post-race forum that Canada was the worst race he'd ever seen Schumacher drive. Okay, Michael won't have put himself on top of either the Kubica or Massa Christmas card lists, but it surely wasn't all that bad. I seem to recall a nervy Suzuka 2003, when he needed a lone point for a history-making sixth championship win, being far worse. Truly bad races from Schumacher are collector's items.
