Is a Driver who wins the Race, or a Car... ? If its Car, then why they say "shumaker" Won the race? & if its..

Question

not the driver who wins, then why the winner or looser of a race takes it personally ?

Answer 1

What?

Answer 2

in my opinion its a team that wins the race

Answer 3

My personal answer: it's the driver that drives the car and it's the car that is being driven by the driver. Don't take it personally. Thanks for the 2 points.

Answer 4

it's the driver, combined with the car, and the pit crew, and the whole team back at the shop that wins or loses a race - the drivers generally get the majority of the credit as they do the "majority" of the work on raceday. the driver is the "face" and visible talent of the race team to the crowd, the media, to the general public.  

(that's overly simplistic but roughly true).

a good driver can win with a good car, a great driver can with even a bad car, and there are some drivers who can't win no matter how good or bad the car is.

the winner and/or loser take it personally because they are competitors - athletes - competing to win.  and when a competitor doesn't win, he or she takes it usually takes it personally.

that wasn't that hard was it?  ;-)

Answer 5

I can't make sense out of that nonsense

Answer 6

well if the get too loose, of course it's gonna get personal

Answer 7

Okay, I've read the question, re-read the question, and re-read it a 3rd time, I don't know what you're asking..

Answer 8

The driver controls the car. If the car is not good though the driver can't win

Answer 9

The best race car in the world won't win without a good driver, but a good driver can't win without a great car. Drivers just hate losing for whatever reason. Some drivers can raise the bar and elevate the team along with them. Dale Earnhardt Sr, and Michael Schumacher are good examples of this.
