I think that's where a lot of the comparisons end. While both Ferrari squads were against stiff competition, and not expected to win championships right off the bat, there's several key differences to make a straight comparison.

The regulations in cockpit dimensions and the shelving the V12 meant the F310 was a completely all-new design. There were more staff changes at the team. That car was far more unreliable than the 2015 as well, making the team's chances a drunken moonshot. There were three races where the F310 was a mobile hand grenade within the first five laps (one a DNS at Magny-Cours).

Schumacher also had four full prior seasons under his belt, while Vettel had seven full years.

That said, Spa and Spain were a rather dominant wins and Monza came about due to a mistake from Hill in the early-going. (Have those county-fair tire barriers ever been used again? They placed them just millimeters from the chicane's track limits in a way I've not seen in F1 since hay bales were used in the 1950s.)

Oh I agree there are a lot of differences between the two seasons due to the regulations being so different, but that much goes without saying.

Thus, I think the comparisons end at the red paint and German flag.

Not according to Ferrari employees who worked with Schumacher. Apparently Vettel's work ethic is very much like Schumacher's. That may be a bit of a German thing though. Hard working, and great attention to detail.
 
Apparently the twit who walked onto the race track during the race was a British tourist who couldn't afford to post the £7000 bail because he spent all his money on traveling to the race - he now could face six months in jail and a substantial fine.

... So, why walk onto the track in the first place? And how on earth did he manage it?

Unattended stewards post/access gate to the track, I'm guessing. There was a post a few pages back that showed an access gate that led to the track unattended during the race.
