If Hamilton was in that Red Bull...

So Schumi is to be shown a double standard because of his success? No good.

Rubens did his usual passive-aggressive tantrum because of the issue he carries as number 2 to Michael. It is similar to that of Eddie Irvine who never avoids a chance to attack his former teammate.

Both these drivers suffer from being legends in their own minds.

And I am not against these drivers - I just think that they do themselves a disservice at times and show the pyschological affect that Schumi has had on them.

I also realize and accept that my attiudes in motor racing are different to yours.

Although what this has to do with Lewis in an RB6? We are off topic here!

Ruben's has not driven for Ferrari for 5 years now so get over it, the comparison with Irvine is stale.

Schuey was not targeted because of his success but more because of his controversial past and I make that clear in my previous post. If a criminal gets out of prison and reoffends, the media will always mention past crimes in order to make any story more juicy. In comparison Schuey has done things in the past I'm sure he is not proud of and the media are unlikely to forget that, especially when he reminds us of how he used to behave. Simple as that, and the media circus is a very fickle world.

No, it would be way too crowded in the cockpit. ;)

If Hamilton was the Red Bull, the championship would almost be over. Thankfully for the competition, Red Bull does not have such high-calibre drivers.

As it stands, he wouldnt beat Mark.

Or are you focussing some negativity at the small 'off' Lewis had in the changing conditions? If thats the case I think you'll find it demonstrated how good Lewis's car control was as he didn't snatch the accelerator and bury it in the kitty litter. A minor mistake and a great drive IMO.

Very minor. Anyone who has ever done any type of performance driving in changing conditions should be aware that the first driver on the track is most often the first caught out by the changing conditions. Those following have the benefit of the tire tracks and the mist that help define how wet the track is.

A lot of other drivers had incidents just as bad if not worse, and they had at least some indicators of the conditions from the cars leading.
