Default Can ferrari be stopped???

After seeing the french GP today my answer is no, not this season at least... The combination of michaels driving skill and ross brauns brains is just simply an unbeatable combination. Ok, so teams like McLaren n williams aren't up to their usual standard this season but even so I think ferrari have got a too good a car/team that no one can match. I really am very impressed with ferrari, although races this season havent been the most exciting, they have just crushed the opposition....

Yes, but first you need to take Michael out of this equation first. -- it'll happen in the next 2 years.

Well Renault took second today... a French bagette up the Italians ass ... Barichello from 10th to 3rd was a nice to see... If Renault was on Bridgestone and not michelin, could they have beaten the scuderia? I think so... Well the french sure have an impressive take off!

They build robots just to play chess, will they do the same just for racing? Will there be a point when we ask if Shumi or some robot named "f1r001" was better?

I would like to see Schumacher move to one of the slower teams and see what he can do there. Like Rossi did.

Surely he's not getting much satisfaction out of his racing at the moment. Maybe he'll start not qualifying in order to make it interesting for himself.

and so the ferrari-schumacher steamroller continues. i am definitely sure that they will win both championships this season. it would take a brave man to bet against that.

Well chippanggo,

stranger things have happened. Who would have guessed, three weeks ago, that Greece would become the European Champion in Soccer this year ? ( Except for my youngest son that is )
In all honesty: the difference between Ferrari and the rest of the field in F1 is becoming a bit embarrassing. Last year they took real beating at Magny Cours and now it was a real Ferrari and mouse game.
Eventually Ferrari will be beaten in F1 but that will take some time I'm afraid.
Perhaps the other teams stand a change when FIA enforces new drastic measures to cut costs aswell as speed but until than ....

Micheal this Micheal that. You guys seem to be forgeting that Rubens is second in the Championship standing. If you think about it taking Schumi out puts Rubbens in the first spot. So no, its not all Micheal.
