my post was not an indictment or an attack against you neither was it set up to refute anything you were saying. I thought it was a good post but needed context in terms of Brawns involvement vis-avis the 2010 season.

I think improvement in his case would be to beat his team mate. Reasonable people would take in consideration the fact that other cars are just faster. No one would expect him to beat Ferrari and Red Bull. Let's not get him off the hook so easily. :P

I'm probably over optimistic, but I give Shumi a chance at as many as 3 race wins this year:

1) Monte Carlo (a real drivers track)
2) Spa (no Kimi to worry about)
3) Imola (much to the dismay of the tifosi,, I'm afraid)

Yep...that's what I meant...hadn't had my morning coffee yet :beer:

I don't see Schumi getting a win this year. I hope I am very wrong though!

Wait till we get a wet race - then there's every chance.

I think with no team orders, he will struggle against Nico who I consider a good mid-field runner.

In his youth, I fully appreciate that Schumacher was the best around, although some might argue the field was not as strong as other times. I do believe that his achievements were complimented by the dominance at times of the Ferrari and status he had within the Ferrari team.

It would be great to be wrong in this and see him conquer against a strong field but anyone with delusion of Schumacher performing at the level of Alonso or Hamilton may be sadly mistaken and I imagine the more extreem fans will be hunting for excuses and blaming the car before long.

Here's what the man himself thinks:

There was alot of talk about the onboard footage and how the drivers seemed to be actually driving the cars post 2007 and drivers being required to do alot more work inside the cockpit.

I'm sure Michael knows what he is talking about and that begs the question, have the cars got easier to drive in the last 2 years? :)

As I understand it he says the car require less physical effort. I figure because they are slower the body has to support less in corners... or something like that... w(ho)tf knows?

Oh dear, during the last week so much material has been added to this thread that it would take an incredible effort to read it all through. Probably a sign of still being the most popular driver, which the results of a recent LG survey indicated? :p :
