'He's still the old Michael' - Brawn

"Michael's driving style depends on a strong front tyre that can withstand his hard braking and the steering manoeuvres that he prefers. Nico has simply understood better how to handle these front tyres. "

 

 

If Michael is such a good driver, shouldn't he be able to tweak his driving style to suit the car.

He should at least be on par with Nico.

It's a bit like asking a runner to adapt to the shoes. It's like saying Messa and Alonso should be on par, Webber and Vettel should be on par, Hamilton and Button should be on par. I'm not so idealistic.

michael has proven wif his 7 titles, could hv been more if he din break leg in 1999, or he had joined williams n mclaren after winning 2 titles at benetton, williams n mclaren wanted him fm 1996 onwards but he joined scuderia ferrari coz he wanted to work fm scatch in developing a winning formula.... ross brawn, jean todt, rory byrne n michael himself, n ey showed wif world constructors title fm 1999 - 2004

personally opinion. He is a good driver, maybe the best of his era but may not be a genius. but we watch too much manga liao (Capeta anyone reading?) hence we become a bit idealistic on what type of ppl should be consider good driver. (AKA watch too much Tsubasa hence if you cannot dribble, long range shoot, Long accurate passes you are not a world class player)

but to be a world beater. you just need to be the best at what you do can liao.
