    I think in '05 Mich and BS had different estimates of what it would take to get a tire through the entire race. BS went more conservative, while in several races we saw Mich teams wearing through their tires when the aero packages weren't bang on. The USGP was just the extreme example.

    Of course, it may have helped that there were only three teams on BS tires, so there weren't as many variables applied to them as to the Michelin tires.

    '06 is another year with different tires and tire changes back in, so it's a different situation.

    " Ferrari's history of cheating? " Parkerfe, you have to ease up on your disdain for Ferrari & Schumacher.Have you tried looking at the other teams or are you really that naive think none of them push the rules to the limit.If they or any of the other teams go over the rules they should be penalized.
    If you're on F-Chat I take it you're a fan of Ferrari? If so , give them them benefit of the doubt until PROVEN otherwise.

    I remember something about a team putting ballasts in their fuel tanks and being suspended for two races and I know that wasn't Ferrari.

    I would guess that there is not a single team in F1, assuming they had a chief engineer that had some smarts, that has not figured out a way to read between the lines of the rule book. Is that cheating? Maybe, but I would not point the finger at any one team. You would need the fingers on both hands pointing to be absolutely correct.

    Before anyone criticizes Schumacher, they should be sure they include Senna in the same sentence.

    OK, I'll give it a shot...

    Unlike Senna, Schumacher's on-track behavior was so outrageous and dangerous to other drivers his results for the entire season were nullified.


    How's that? :p

    how about this...

    Senna is gone. (RIP) Schumacher is alive still winning races, holding or breaking all records and has 7 (maybe 8 )world titles. Oh yes...is worth around a billion dollars.

    Advantage MS.
