Absolutely spot on Glen. The whole 'team-mate' as a lapdog thing is way over done. The point is that a vast majority of the time, Schuey has simpliy bean better than his team-mates. And on the occassions when they've been close, it's often been because the car is so good, and that is because Michael has worked hard to get it that way. Which brings me to my next point....

I hardly think it's been easy. What they have at Ferrari is a fantastic package, largely DUE to the work of Michael. Just ask Frank Willams and Patrick Head what they think of Michael's work-rate. The way some people go on, you'd think Michael came into F1 and was given the best cars straight away!
