As long as Ferrari keep doing what they are doing, he will be at top or near top(which is great for us tifosi :D )

things can change quickly, when new rules become official, otherwise, as long as ferrari has the best car and racing strategy and keeps on spending a lot more than their competition, schumi will continue to dominate, besides there is no one in his league at the moment, he does not have true competition, there is no other great one to challenge him, mika provided some thrills, but really schumi has not had direct competition since senna died, and although button seems to be emerging as the new hot young star, in reality drivers championship points tell the whole story, to be honest I would not be surprized if schumi was to take all races this year ... it probably will not happen, but it seems plausible

As long as Ferrari+ Schumi stay together he will be on top. Securely for a t least 3-5 more seasons. But I predict him to stop racing after 2005 or 2006 season.

car trouble isn't luck ferrari cars are so well engineered and designed they don't blow up often! They have a proven record of reliability. As for getting hit off the track i agree with you to a certain degree but also skilled drivers are better at avoiding 'racing incidents' schumi usually knows how far he can push it e.g. vs montoya in imola
about reliabilty. lets go back 12 years or so and tell me that Ferrari was reliable hell even when MS first got on board Ferrari wasnt reliable.
1996 MS joins Ferrari

Sorry i should have said now they are reliable!! im know they wern't always but over the last few years you have to admit they are probably the most reliable
1997
http://www.formula1.com/archive/season/1997.html
1998
http://www.formula1.com/archive/season/1998.html
in the 99 season is when he had the broken leg i believe and then from 2000 on well we all know now dont we. MS, along with Ross and Jean changed Ferrari, when those 3 guys leave Ferrari they will go through another drought.
Ferrari before MS
95 1 pole
94 1 pole
93 0 poles
92 0 poles
91 0 poles
and its not like they had bad drivers, Prost, Alesi, Berger just to name a few. i dont have the time right now to go through every season and race but im sure you will find plenty of times when neither car finished the race for Ferrari.

1979 was the last year for Ferrari to win the drivers title with Joey Scheckter prior to MS's dominance. (21 year drought)
1983 last time Ferrari wins constructors title, prior to 99. (16 year drought)


oh and i am a huge Ferrari fan. but i wont deny the truth as much as it might suck to know that Ferrari sucked back then. and like i said before when Jean, Ross and Michael leave is when Ferrari will go for a while without a champioship. though i hope to be proven wrong.
Sorry i should hae said are now reliable and have been so for the last few years
