Quite so, don't underestimate the impact that Schumacher had in 1994 and 1995, it's quite possible he would have kept that going in the 1996 and 1997 seasons McLaren would likely have taken the titles in 1998-99 due to Renault's departure. Assuming Renault actually decided to leave the sport when they did.
