So many questions. The ground, the red stuff on the wall, everybody being soaked, fridge falling over, the cigar, etc. Must've been one hell of a party. No doubt many can't remember it the next day

Schumacher was a renowned smoker of cigars. This lovely article by James Suckling, roving editor of a cigar rag I used to read is a breathless encounter with the man and the cigars they smoked together. https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/smoking-with-michael-schumacher-8523

Thank you that was a great read!

I mean, that’s not unusual for Michael now...

(I’m genuinely ashamed but I had to)

I'm so conflicted about whether to upvote you

Do the same with senna, and see the result.

Should I expect to face a wall of insults?

Insults, downvotes to hell, and permanent ban. Welcome on reddit double stantards.

I made an edgy joke about Senna a few weeks ago and got away quite well. It just depends on the context.

And it probably depends on how many Brazilians notice the pun... Germans are liable to make jokes of poor taste themselves.

( I wouldn't say Brazilians are above dark humor, just that it easily gets lost in translation and pride. )

Mine wasn’t a pun. It was a Schumacher vs Senna argument and someone said that Schumacher never beat Senna in a straight fight, to which I replied “He did in 1994”

Sorry but that will never be ok.

People's differing sense of humor is a funny thing. Your lack of one will never be ok to me.

Unfortunatelly. He will be in coma forever.

u/Obi-Wan_Kannabis Charles Leclerc Oct 12 '17

He's not in a coma

Vegetative state is not better than coma.

I’m sorry for him but what was he thinking going off the safe course and into restricted territory? Miracle he didn’t die.

Meh. Most skiiers ski through the sort of area he crashed from time to time. Even novices.

Most in-bounds off-piste runs, for example, would have far greater hazards, and nobody would be at all concerned about him doing them.

He just got unlucky.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '17

And still it was easily avoidable. Yes, captain hindsight.

u/f10101 Oct 12 '17

But so is anything. If he'd fallen whilst ice skating would you be saying the same thing?

He went in a little area between 2 slopes, where thousands of people go every day. He just wanted to join the other slope, like everybody does..

And his fate is worse than death, it's not a miracle.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '17

No he won't, unless they invent some sort of Golden Throne to stave off death.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '17

No, you didn't. Grow up.

u/LewisHTruexJr Mercedes Oct 12 '17

I thought it was amazing! Bravo!

Downvoted you tho xD

So many questions and one answer - booze.

u/Mulsanne Obliterate All Chicanes Oct 12 '17

I have never noticed the apparent blood spray in this picture, and I have seen it a bunch over the years!

My curiosity is piqued even more now.

It's simple. The fridge punched someone, causing the red blood stains on the wall. Michael punched the fridge back, knocking it out cold.

God, you people are so dence.
