mipuumalMichael Schumacher isn't my idol and even I know that he has 89 career wins.
Thanks for pointing that out! I was meaning career victories with Ferrari! I clearly used the wrong choice of words
MS

I missed this before, but I’ll mention it anyway: F1 cars have tyre warmers.amp88Raikkonen did well to stay ahead of Webber as he left the pits after his third stop on cold tyres.

DQuaNYamamoto crashed his in Saturday warmup so had to use the old car. Sato was running the SA06 but didn't last long in the race.
And Sato was ahead of a Midland for most of that, so not a bad debut for the new car.GilesGuthrieSato raced the SA06, and lasted until lap 38, retiring with an oil leak. Not too bad really.
They heat the tyres to around 90°C, as opposed to the ~25°C that they’d be in ambient conditions.Gabkicksi heard thetire warmers arent very effective/don't make much of a difference. do they?
Well the Michelin Sport website says that “An F1 tyre reaches peak performance at an operating temperature of almost 100°C.” If you couple that with the fact that tyre warmers have them sitting at around 90°C then you can say that Kimi had a tyre that was pretty much in its peak (especially if it was green).amp88Come on Blake, give me some credit at least. I know they have tyre warmers, but they don't get heat all the way trough the carcass of the tyre and they don't get the tyre as hot as it should be in normal running conditions.
It’s scary, they basically had “2004, let’s go 1 second faster than anyone else” performance.GilesGuthrieYeah, Ferrari were running 2 seconds off their ultimate pace for much of the race.
danoffThe guy can't get through a race without getting screwed in the pits at least once.
eastHe's more likely to get screwed over at Ferrari, specially if he gets himself into positions where he can beat Michael, and dont forget about the automatic off switch that comes standard with every number 2 Ferrari drivers car.
Eddie Irvine... Oh, no, wait a minute.... Rubens Barric... no, errr, I'll get it in a minute.. don't tell me... Is this a trick question?Small_FryzName a number 2 driver in Ferrari who could beat MS and was a better driver?

Small_FryzSmart arse.
I mean 2nd driver WHILE MS was at ferrari.
Plus was jean alesi a better driver than MS?
FamineYes.
Though as I look it up I don't see any occasion where Schumacher has finished a race and either Berger OR Alesi have finished ahead of him.
Bum.

RooAh. Well, yes, just follow amp88's post (no-one likes a smartass). And I thought I was being so clever
