You can't just have a good driver and nothing else right, for you to be as dominant as he was. Yes Schumacher was a good driver, great statesgist and a master at manipulating a team around him, whether people liked it or not!! But I think Ross Brawn has been the driving force behind his success. Since leaving Ferrari, it has taken them a couple of years to regroup, and now got Alonso doing the same thing.
In the end, Schumacher was a great driver, I am no way a fan, he made F1 boring for to many years, but that is ALL in the past now, and you have to judge his performance on the hear and now, and personally, I think he is past it, there have been passes on him which he never seen coming and were so obvious, then we have what he did to Rubens. And I don't like it, but agree with Eddie Jordan, all he is doing now, is wrecking his reputation!
