for Ferrari,

Everyone assums MS's ego is too big for such
consideration. Schumacher, if anything, has
always been a team player!

Tell Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello, Felipen Massa and Johnny Herbert
that and you'll have them laughing all the way home.

Unless your definition of "Team" means "Ferrari plus Schumacher and
no-one else".

Hey, Schumacher tried to win a championship for Eddie bloody Irvine,
and gave both Eddie and Barrichello race wins.

Hey Mark, you conceded our argument?

Tell Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello, Felipen Massa and Johnny
Herbert that and you'll have them laughing all the way home.

And which of those would you consider a better driver than
Schumacher ?

We'll never know because they've never been allowed to show what
they can actually do. However when he was with Jordan he was often
beaten by Martin Brundle, when he was at Benetton he was no better
than Johnny Herbert until he insisted on Flav denying Johnny track
testing time and refusing to share telemetry information.

So, had Benetton a major German sponsor at the time?

Sorry, what point are you trying to make?

Just wondering why Schumacher had so much power in the Benetton back
then even if he wasn't even quicker than his team mate. This happened
before his 1st WDC, right?

Bitberger in 1994 and 1995.
RTL in 1995.

We'll never know because

If you think any one of those was anywhere near Schumacher's class then you
don't know much.

Er, no. You did. And don't think I wasn't grateful.
