I agree. Ferrari have the edge and seem to have had for a while. They very rarely seem to miss a beat. How long do you think Schumacher will continue racing? He doesn't have anything to prove these days.

I don't think it's about proving anything, or even the money. He wants to be recognised as the greatest F1 driver ever. So he will keep going for a few years, as long as he can be bothered to stay fit enough I suppose.Originally posted by cowswithguns@7 March 2004 - 11:42

To be honest I am more impressed with what he did at Benetton than his current performances. To me it really is primarily the car which is far superior, rather than him. Don't get me wrong, he is a fantastic driver, but I think his level of domination is exaggerated by the mega superior machine.
He just coincidentally manages to beat his teammates then?Originally posted by internet.weather@7 March 2004 - 11:02

On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

It is well known that Schumacher gets the better treatment and rightly so, he is the number 1 driver and get treated as such. He is a better driver than Barrichello, but so are several other people. That's just my point. Would you say that Barrichelo is the second best F1 driver just now, because I wouldn't. The car is that good that he runs second to Schumacher, ahead of people who I think are better drivers than him.
You'll probably think I'm being faecitious, but I really do. He regularly gets close to Schumi's times (if not beats them). The best comparison in F1 is between a driver and his teammate. Schumi beats Barrichello most of the time, but the margin is not so great.Originally posted by internet.weather@7 March 2004 - 17:21

So Schuey gets better treatment, but Barrichello isn't the second best F1 driver? Even though he was pushing Schuey until he developed a brake problem?Originally posted by internet.weather@7 March 2004 - 17:21

You may be right about not being second best driver, but your reasons for stating it are a little flawed. With poor brakes, to finish only 21 seconds ahead of Alonso and 47 seconds ahead of Ralf Schumacher obviously the guy must be some sort of dummy.
