foreveryoung Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 2 hours ago, BOF said: I do think back in the day with limitations on how they could prepare cars, it was much more prevalent that the #1 driver got the better equipment though, and things like the lead driver having a different car - to one degree or another - were more common. And we know anecdotally that the scope of Schumacher's influence over absolutely everything at Ferrari was unprecedented. Much more than Max has at Red Bull. Michael ran that team because they knew he would deliver them success, whereas with Max the most they do is pander to him because he brings them success. I don't think Max has anything remotely approaching the control over Red Bull that Michael ever had over Ferrari. Micheal had a bit of control over the FIA too remember.

He was clearly better than all his teammates throughout his main career, Brundle and Barrichello probably were his strongest teammates and neither were elite Just to clarify, my point about #1 often having a different car was referring to his whole career i.e. the era that included Benetton.

You could get that from a rookie with a much higher ceiling right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Perez 1.3 seconds slower than Max in the same car. It should be a sackable offence how slow he has been this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
