Whether or not you subscribe to the claim that MS would not have had the success he achieved without the preferential treatment and superior technology from both the FIA and Ferrari, I would be interested in understanding how you claim he is better than Nico when the younger driver is achieving the results, is hungrier and more able as you claim.

I would have thought that, in this instance, 'hungrier' and 'more able' mean 'better'!

I never said MS was better than NR. I feel they are about on par with each other.

I doubt it. I don't believe he has the ruthlessness that Schuey had. I don't believe Schuey would have had 7 WDC's without that. He is definitely worth a couple of WDC though.

Not to be boring or negative. :o

But your not worth any WDC unless you actually put a championship winning season together. ;)

Rubbish. LOL!
No one compares to MS in his prime, much less NR. Remind us how much success has had NR in F1.
