I don't think he was saying he's getting treated differently, its just as F1boat is saying, his car is not getting setup correctly. I think he does deserve a seat better then potential contenders.

Whatever the reasons for MS's comparatively poor performances this year he must be putting all his 2011 hopes on 1) the Pirelli tyres suiting him and 2) Mercedes coming up with a car that suits him. If he steps into the '11 car and has the same feeling he's had this year then there's not much point in going on.
It's very difficult for him. He's going to have to perform well at the start of 2011 if he even wants to hold onto his race seat for a 2012 season! 7 World Championships or not, this if F1 and if you're not up to scratch...Quote:

There are more probabilities to explain why Schumi is now being such inferior against his team mate. Perhaps, his tactical mastermind and his driving style played more dominant role than his real talent, so once he drives elsewhere his role is not so dominant, he struggles. Or, he drove superior prolonged dominant of Ferrari that no one was capable of competing with them. Or, He drove at weak seasons, not much drivers of great talent until we found Alonso twice beat him.Quote:

However for whatever reason he's a worthy champion.
Some people complained his racing style, instead of proper overtaking he pushed the rivals off to the wall. Alonso is now driving for car better than that gave him twice of title, maybe equal to his drive in 2007, this is perhaps good karma. :)
But like Mansell do we remember his brilliant victory at the 1994 Australian GP? No, we remember his McLaren farce and retiring in Barcelona.
I dunno, I remember Mansell for Spain 1991, duelling with Senna down the straight, for Mexico 1990, overtaking Berger on the outside of Peraltada, for Silverstone 1987, Hungary 1989......Quote:

Alain Prost has weighed into the debate, saying:
He knows a thing or two, does the Frenchman. If they only had any petrol left in his country...Quote:
For me, it’s just a question of age,” Prost told L’Equipe. “I think the tyres are just an excuse, because Schumacher always adapted to any sort of car. It’s just not possible to return to the top after being away for three years at that age. It’s a matter of physiology.
