Re: 2003 - did Schumacher win the title in the third best ca

It could easily be argued that the Ferrari was the 3rd best car, heck Michael Schumacher 'scraped' the title, kinda tells you all you need to know about that season then. Only reliability, good strategy and few driver errors rewarded Schumacher with a 6th title. 3rd fastest car could easily be argu...

9 World titles easy. 06 was a rusty rusty year for Schumacher but he easily would've easily won that title as he lost it, then would you say 06 was a poor year? Nope. Nothing to suggest he was 'losing' it. 09 season with no Brawn GP??

Honestly, I would get argy-bargy with him within the first few laps ala Spa.

I think someone said Mercedes failure rate is 22% or something like that which is nothing. If...

No. I think it would be a disgrace for McLaren, and I've been a McLaren devotee since I started following F1. They need a decent finish or they won't be able to attract any sponsors for next year either. The target with Honda should be top 3, not top of the midfield. Isn't Honda sponsoring Mclaren?
