Schumacher didn't bring Ferrari back from the dead. A re-jig of the managment and design team did that. Hmm come to think of it, it was the same team that did the same for benneton.
I think his closest team mates have been Barrichello, and Herbert. herbert was never anymore than a few tenths behind him in quali....until Herbert won a race, then suddenly his pace dropped off. Maybe the team had a quiet word in thier ear from Schumi?
Schumacher (as good as he was) acheived more points and titles in an era when the cars were easy to drive, with traction control, launch control, automatic/semi automatic gearboxes, active suspension, no clutch's...and all the other gadgets. Although his efforts are all over the statistics, I can't bring myself to consider him anywhere near as good as the oldies.
Senna
Clark
Stewart
Villenueve (Sr)
Prost
Alesi
I can't wait for next year when they've got to start with full loads of fuel. Shame Bridgestone can't make a tyre to last the whole race, or else we could have some intresting strategies.
Thought it was funny when Nico Rosberg was moaning about it to his dad, and his dad just turned round and said, "How the hell do you think we went on!" Class!
