Ouch? Seems Moss has had a year long (pardon the expression) hard on for Schumacher since he re-entered F1. Seven versus zero championships later, I’d say the ‘greatest racer to never win a championship’ seems to be fixated on Schumi.

Michael Schumacher’s deficit to team-mate Nico Rosberg in 2010 was usually explained by slow-corner driving technique, says Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn. The fact that the team did not have a top-level simulator “did not help”, Brawn said, adding that they were building one that would be ready for 2012. (Too late to teach Michael how to drive).

And Tewin racer Lewis [Hamilton], the world champion in 2008, can see the opportunity to save up KERS and double-deploy it in combination with the adjustable rear-wing (More passing in F1 - is this NASCAR or what??).
