))How can one be earn the rain master title by being averagely talented??? Rain favors the better driver.
The guy came second on a race using fifth gear only and he is not adaptable???
How can one's most successful race tracks be the so called driver tracks (Suzuka, Spa, Imola, Monaco, etc) and yet be referred with sentences "well he was not so talented however/but..."
"He never got a good teammate." What about the Massa that Raikkonen could not beat? The Rubens that Jenson barely beat at the age of 37 partly due to a much better start to the season. Irvine that could compete with a driver of Hakkinen's caliber and make it a WDC race. If my memory serving me that year there was a race where Schumacher let Irvine pass twice in the same race to help him...He was that much better than him...
Schumacher was leading Senna in 1994 before Aryton passes away in his unfortunate accident.
Finally to judge his talent and his accomplishments but looking at how well he does at the age of 41 after 3 full year break is just plain stupid......Something like looking at Jordan's last years (at the age of 38-40) at Wizards and then saying that "he was not much talented but he practiced a lot". "He was just a good jump shooter" "It was the Phil Jackson and great Bulls team with center Luc Longley", "The competition was not that that good when he was around" .
David Coulthard practiced almost 15 years in Adrian Newey designed cars. What good did he achieve in that period?
