I think Michael Schumacher has the best intellectual approach to racing. You are getting the perfect combination with Schuey and I don't expect any driver to approach his intellectual capacity in the cockpit. But I think if JPM was on the Ferrari team, driving Rubens' car and he and Schuey started side by side in ten races, JPM would blow Schuey away. Either that or they'd crash in ten races. I like JPM's aggressiveness and I like what he brings out in Schuey- some of that same aggressiveness. Schuey is definitely the best, but JPM is hands down the second best and much of that is due to his car. Like I said, given similar cars, Schuey would be JPM's bitch.
Doubtful. JPM's FW24 is capable of winning, he has in fact out qualified MS on several occassions. Schumacher is fast because he's above all consistent - he's also VERY easy on the car, because he understands EXACTLY what it's doing under him, all the time. JPM is fast, but he's hard on his car and his tires, and in F1 fast laps don't always win.
That's what I find so amazing about this sport - the different approaches the top teams - Ferrari, Williams and McLaren - take to race strategy, pit stops, team orders - result in some astonishing racing if you know what you're looking at.
Can you imagine what was going through Kimi Raikonnen's head, at 22 leading the soon-to be FIVE TIME world champion on his way to his first F1 win? No pressure there.
