Decent read. Andrew Benson always writes well.

Yes, read that on BBC website the other day. Although Benson gets a hard time in the comments - and generally - for being unable to write anything F1 related without finding a way to insert something that praises Hamilton.

The latest ‘F1 beyond the grid’ podcast is an interview with Ross Brawn about Schumacher.

Nothing particularly earth shattering but worth a listen.

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.

Couldn't have put it better myself

And the love for Hamilton in the comments are just spew-worthy.
Hamilton is undoubtedly a very talented driver, very much spoiled by his "public persona", and to add from this I've heard (in some cases from very reliable sources) that he's a horrible man in real life.

Well I’m glad I shared that then. Nice to stir things up once in a while.

I take the +ves from both Schumi and Hamilton’s careers.

Rosberg is a strange fish.
