"Obtained" is fine
I understand your point regarding hard work of people behind the scenes but aren't all people in all teams working hard including the drivers? So if all of the team members in all teams work hard and if one team beats the others not as the result of hardest work than what?
That is my point, no one is allowed to get lazy in F1 and it is a shame that someone’s equal effort gets in the shade because of someone’s dishonesty as the prevailing factor.
As I’ve mentioned before – I’m Ferrari admirer who is pissed off by what Montzemolo, Todt, Brown and Shuey have done to Ferrari. I mean, they filled their pockets and they’ll leave sooner or later but there’ll always be this shade upon Ferrari when someone mentions 1996-2006 period. Bad results that Ferrari had from 1979 to 1995 never compromised Ferrari’s good name as much this previous “successful” decade did.
Nowadays, when someone says Ferrari everyone thinks – Shumacher, and that is sad because most of the young people will grow with that without being aware what Ferrari used to be, who Enzo was…
Comparing Schumacher with Gilles? Comparing Schumacher with Lauda? No way, never!
I wouldn’t even compare him with Alesi or Berger. Name me several Shuey’s great drives – true battles on track, great maneuvers…? Someone who is 7 times world champion must have at least dozen, right?
I don’t remember any except those shameful moves on Hill, Jacques and many “marvelous” overtaking of Irvine and Barrichello. Alesi at lest had that great race when he overtook everyone in just several laps even though he exited the pits on last position.
