Agree, it was a decent read. Very much confirms my opinion that Schumacher is not a true champion, but was a cheat whenever he could be, and had an unfair advantage in the Beneton (although not proven) and was on "special" tyres during his Ferrari years. No doubt that he was talented, and moved the game on in terms of attention to detail and driver fitness commitment. I very much doubt that he would have as many championships if he had been on equal terms with the other drivers. When he came up against Rosberg at Mercedes he was totally outclassed. Rosberg, while a great driver, will never be classified as one of the true greats of all time. I don't think Schumi should be either.campbell wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 1:11 amDecent read.
