it took schumacher from 1991 to 1994 to win a championship with Benetton.

it took schumacher from 1996 to 2000 to win a championship with ferrari.

based on past performance schumacher should win the championship around 2013

Brilliant logic! Its must be 2013/2014!

I hate to say it but Ferrari went down hill as soon as Schumacer left but i do blame Stephano Dominicali (or however you spell his name!) for the team not being front runners in the past couple of years. Jean Tod was a far better team principle! Tod + Brawn + Schumacer was the perfect team!

Not really. I then the problem was Todt had deals with the maFIA. Look at him now, president of it. Schumacher used to get away with so so much back in the day and don't forget there are new rules that bring everyone closer together. Ferrari used to have unlimited budget and their own testing and developing facilities. They still do, but they can't really use them the way they used to and they have budget caps.

After all Kimi won the WDC with Stefano as team principal.

Only at the last hurdle after an on/off championship. McLaren only lost because of infighting and a software glitch. Still, World Champ he was. Couldn't be 4rsed after that!  :laugh:

If Rikonnen really wanted to win the championship that year he could have way sooner that the final race! His car had the performance he just didnt make the most of it, he didnt care what so ever!
IMO only in it for the money in the end to add to his Millions after all he got Schumacers annual pay of 51million when he signed up for Ferrari.


I think they should bring back unlimited testing but ensure all teams are able to make good use when they need. It would definitely change which team has the best performing car through the season instead of say last year or the year before with just Red Bull all season or Brawn all season being the top car. If teams had a little less restriction to advance the cars throughout the season i definitely think there would be intuitive ideas like the F-duct and Double Diffusers

Looking food for tomorrow. Button seems to be out performing Hamilton so far this year. And there was everyone saying he was rubbish!

I was one saying he was rubbish and I personally still think Hami is the better driver, I know people say points on the board talk but Lewis was totally mugged by his team last weekend.. I really hope the pair of them bully Vettel tomorrow and stop him fcuking off from the first corner, so far he hasn't had a great deal to deal with, out in front, manages tyres and cruises in...Simple yet effective for Red Bull

I think if they stay close for the first few laps until the DRS becomes active then they should pass him, or at least give him something to think about.
