Michael Schumacher in W04

[biggs]

Given the competitiveness of both drivers Nico and Lewis, and the competitiveness of the W04 this season so far.
How do you think MSC's results would be compared to Nico and Lewis?

I don't know and I highly doubt anyone does. The only thing I know is that this thread has a good potential of going in the wrong direction.

I don't see any difference, last year in the early races they were quick in quali but struggled with rear tire wear during the races.

He'd be doing no better.

On the bottom of it Schumacher had used up all the luck in his first career as it looks.In 2012 he was most of the time the equal of Rosberg but always had technical issues when the car was any good .
Would he have scored better than Hamilton .No .But then look at poor Rosberg who seems to have somehow inherited the bad luck of his old teammate this year....

To be honest, I think this W04 is going thru a similar trend to last year's W03.
Being competitive at the first few fly away races, starting to fall back in Spain.
Results are quite similar.

Monaco may be a better race for them as they certainly had the fastest car at this race last year then after that maybe Monza will be the only race where the W04 may shine.

or maybe MSC wrote off the season and instead spent it on developing this years car, who knows

certainly made the car quick, just didn't do anything about its appetite for tires

Or maybe we'll just never know.
