Attaching the title &#8220;Legend&#8221; to Schumacher has always been a bit generous, his motivation being to win regardless whether it involved arguable cheating or driving skills. The character played by Brad Pitt in &#8220;Formula1&#8221; quickly becomes notorious due to perceived mistakes, driving errors, collisions, but the underlying aim was always for the team to do well. Such a facet always escaped Schumacher, the only person benefiting from his antics being himself. Perhaps the credited producer, Louis Hamilton, was enjoying a little private dig at MS but overall, it was a good movie, especially the final 30 minutes or so and a race which somehow captured the spirit of a Murray Walker commentary when he experienced an audible meltdown while commenting on a hung-over and slightly drunk James Hunt doing his magic on the track.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, if you enjoy Formula1 or Brad Pitt, the film was pretty good but with an inevitable Hollywood ending where the right man won the race! Obviously, our decision to watch the movie was entirely due to withdrawal symptoms with Grand Prix taking an August holiday. Thankfully, everything kicks off this coming weekend with a usually messy Belgian race, hopefully not terribly wet and hopefully not dry either.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Barclays managed to spend August in the pit lane of share prices, essentially doing absolutely nothing of interest while creating a pretence of movement. It occurs this stance is similar to that adopted by the UK Government, though rather than a month, they&#8217;re doing it for years at a time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The immediate situation for Barclays now suggests movements above 378.5 should now bring a share price rise to an initial 385p with our &#8220;longer term&#8221; secondary, if bettered, at a more useful 397p. This secondary value is quite significant, representing a price level where we suspect some volatility shall prove almost essential.<\/p>\n<p>Should things intend go pear shaped for Barclays, below 364 risks proving troublesome, capable of triggering share price reversals to an initial 343p with our secondary, if broken, at 330p and hopefully a bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Our inclination is to assume Barclays intends a Hollywood event, allowing the share price to extend upward to just below the 4 quid level. And then reversing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
