i think that if you put schumi in the team that produces drinks,as the victim of racism,lewis,said, he absolutely could be first in the championship

Not really — rather, that the notion of this having been him at his best is just a piece of present-day spin, only of interest to those who have either (a) short memories, or (b) those whose pro-Schumacher propaganda reminds me of the Iraqi information minister's efforts in the run-up to the 2003 war. Had this been Schumacher at his best, he would have won. This is a driver for whom second was not good enough. As it was, he finished fourth. It was a performance that would barely have rated a mention in his heyday compared with what he did actually achieve.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of Kobayashi. But he is in a lesser car than the Mercedes, and still only 1 point behind. MS is tied with his team mate, who is without doubt a good driver. But I don't see Rosberg at the very top of the field either. This leads me to the reality that MS isn't the driver he used to be.

And as I said above, this has no effect on my thought that if Mercedes wants him to stay and he is happy with it, he should stay. I just feel his best days are behind him, and I'm not going to get my hopes up over a single good race result.

The Schumi of old would not have won that race. Very unlikely. You seem to be forgetting Spa 2005 a wet race and he finished third if my memory serves me correctly. He was by a mile the quickest Bridgestone runner that day. If you don't have the machinery to win you simply can't do it. And with dopey DRS there was no way he could have ever kept Button and Webber behind till the end of the race.

What a mighty performance it was to be right on the rear wing of Webber as he crossed the line though. Ouststanding. I really, really hope he can keep this form up. He was doing brilliantly in Monaco compared to Rosberg as well. I can't wait to see how he does in Valencia. He needs to start outqualifying Nico more too.

Perhaps because during his first careeer, despite you hating him, he still gave you massive entertainment and last Sunday reminded you of that...

He most definitely deserved a podium on Sunday. Such a shem he didn't get it.
