Heinz H. Frentzen, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Jensen Button of the current drivers can all easily beat Micheal Shumacher if they're given equivalent cars.

Barrichelo, actually sucks, he is so inconsistent and this must have been his ON days and Micheals OFF days.

H H Frentzen can sweep the floor of them all though.:)

I don't have any problem with the team tactic though, it doesn't ruin anything except Micheal Shumacher's season if he should lose to JPM by 5 or 6 points at the end of the season.:)

Maybe Barrichello should have done it like Tommi Mäkinen did in Swedish Rally few years ago. Mäkinen (who drove Mitsubishi) was clearly in the lead and second place was held by another Mitsubishi, driven by a swede. Mitsubishi wanted to boost their car-sales and brand-recognition in Sweden, so they ordered Mäkinen to let the swede win the race. Mäkinen solved that by stopping his car for 30 seconds right in front of the finish-line, so the swede could win.

Afterwards as they interviewed the swede (I don't remember his name) and asked him about that, he was almost crying as he said "Why did he have to make it so obvious?!?!"

:D

EDIT: Correction: He stopped for 55 seconds. That happened in 1995 Swedish Rally

Didn't it suck how Villeneuve broke down on the LAST LAP!!!

And if he didn't have that penalty (ie if he didn't punt H-H) then he could have had a 3rd place podium finish!

I'm just interested to hear what the tifosi have to say about Ferrari now!

Alright, maybe not easily(and maybe not J. Button), I strongly believe, well as many others, that H H Frentzen and JPM are two of the fastest current drivers today, then MS and Hakkinen, and then the rest.

I re-watched the race(without falling asleep) and I don't think Schumi had anything to do with it. It was strange how the hosts discussed such a possibility for 10 minutes before the end.

This is absurdly speculative. The fact of the matter is that none of these three have accomplished one tenth of what MS has in F1, and I sincerely doubt that anyone alive can "easily" beat Schumacher.
