I'm not "changing" anything. I asked you before, and I'll ask you again, all your flapping and nonsense not withstanding. Show me anything in the Wikipedia article as it pertains to Schumacher, that is wrong. You can't because there isn't anything. Other than the fact you don't like Schumacher or Wikipedia. None of which matters in regards to it's accuracy or his abilities as a 7 time World Champion Formula 1 driver. If you don't believe most people who know Formula 1 think he is the greatest driver of all time, you must be either unconscious or living in a cave.

Yep, you know the rule. Everyone in F1 can put up great lap times. Otherwise, they wouldn't be there in the first place. It boils down to the car and those other factors.

Williams currently has the 3rd/4th fastest car on the field, Mclaren is still developing their car after switching to Honda as this is their first year. They went from being dead last to lower midpack in just a few races. I see them getting very competitive as the season goes by.

So yea, it wasn't all Susie Wolff's skill, but also having a very fast car, way faster than Mclaren.

If anything it should be more like, " Hey look Mclaren is faster than Force India already! ". LOL!

 

[billt460]

True, but she's only 9/10ths slower than Massa in the same car. Considering how much track time she gets compared to him, along with his level of experience, (13 year career), that's not bad at all. This woman could very possibly be a starting Formula 1 driver in the not too distant future. There have been far worse than her that have started in better cars, and did less with them.

 

[Garak]

No offence intended to her, but she's a little too old to become a starting driver now.
