How to be successful...
Rat on the first contract you have and shift to a bigger team.
Win first WC, then make sure you have an inferior team mate.
Welsh on that contract to go to team with unlimited budget.
Pinch all the good guys from your last team without paying any compensation.
Make sure you have a series of inferior team mates all with contracts to say your are No1.
Drive dangerously, whine and moan, get disqualified from the Championship.
Fail to help your team mate win the first WC for Ferrari since 1979.
And so on...
If that's what it takes to be successful, then let's have more failure. The guy folds regularly under pressure, and has an excuse for everything. Frankly, I'd rather have more 'failures' called Webber, Mansell, Piquet and Berger than one single Schumacher 'success'. And, judging from this thread and scores of others on the subject, I am not alone! But that's just MY opinion...
The truth seems to be that the guy has lost the art of making his tyres work, and can't seem to read them in the way the other guys can. Watch him in the car, he is constantly reacting to the car, not anticipating it and driving it. Whilst it has to be said that Webber's car was painted onto the track, in-car from Rosburg appeared that the guy was driving the car, whereas Schui was having the car drive him. I don't think it matters any more, the guy seems to have lost it.
