With ~10x more miles in testing than Bridgestone, Michelin has simply built a better tire and Ferrari, Jordan, and Minardi are suffering for it. So if you're handing out blame, which you seem to be doing, the proper sequence is starts with Bridgestone--not Ferrari and not Schumacher.



No not at all, I dont think Schumacher has become a terrible driver, he's more talented then anyone in F1 I've seen in my time, and I'm only 20. I've followed Schumi since he was in Benneton and won his fist title. Even though back then he took the gamble to join Ferrari (back then the worst team) the gamble paid off and look what they have accomplished. I really blame it on the tires. There is no way in hell Ferrari can lose that much in a year, it HAS to be the tires..Why else is Schumi concerned about tire wear all the time..I'm 100% sure that Ferrari with all its resources will get somthin done in the down time and next years car is gonna be somthing...And Schumacher will not leave when the "fun" is over, He said he would honor his contract maybe extend it a year or two..the extentsion part is rumored. I think one more title for him and he'll be done..How can you people get bored of watching Ferrari in front, its somthing how these people prepare each car for each race and to be able to be in front is somthin. All the other teams did not get sick of it, it drove them to be faster and quicker and look what happened this year, even schumi said it himself..However in the end as stated, never underestimate Ferrari, they'll be back next year..
