Over MS' No.1 position in the team (no such in the contract)
So Ross Brawn contradicted what many here took for a fact and based their views on: MS having the no 1 clause in the contract!
Michael established his superiority through the natural order of things, by being the fastest.
It was never written into his contract that I was aware of. The only thing there was, he had first call on the T-car.

God himself could come down and say that Michael was never a contractual No. 1 and it still would change many peoples opinion.
It doesn't matter who says what, these people know Schumi had preferential treatment. You might as well give it up ioan, you're never going to change their opinions.Forza Ferrari!!

It seems the MS status thing is a is sore subject for the MS supporters. : Others have moved on, why not do the same. That said, according to the article, Brawn didn't say with 100% certainty MS had no contractual number 1 status, he wasn't the head of Ferrari, nor the team, so he wouldn't necessary know of such a clause, neither would i expect him coming out and "admit" it if there was.
C'est la vie ja taksi tuo.

And there's also the possibility that while Schumacher's contract didn't specify no. 1 status, Barrichello's contract specified no. 2 status.

of course MS did have the number1 status and it meant way more than just the T-car. It meant that only the perfectly tested and reliable parts went to his car while all the "experiments" were carried out on him teammates. Thats the reason why MS' car was always noticably more reliable.
There is also a a certain amount of brain power/energy/money/time that a team have to deal with and how they allocate it within the team is completly up to them. While Williams for example always tend to go in the fair 50/50 direction, that obviously wasnt the case at Ferrari.
However, there is never going to be a team that is stupid enough to give all these to the slower guy, so at the end of day, MS' status was indeed due to his speed. (the only worrying thing is that his team-mates never really had a fair chance, and they wasnt even extremely talented guys either. This will always shadow MS' achievements (a slight bit), he never really had the classic "within-the-team" battles most champions had to deal with)
