"I think he is very brave to come back, I think it is very good for the sport," Moss said. "He has gone to the best team I think, but that doesn't mean he is going to win. To beat people like Vettel, and Alonso - who is a very dark horse at the moment - I think he has his work cut out, actually.

Sir Stirling Moss"One problem with Michael, from my point of view, is that he has never really had a really fast number two, and usually the best way you can tell how fast a driver is is to look at the number two and see where he is in relation to him. He's had Rubens, who is a terrific man and a very quick driver, but one doesn't look at him as being one of the very fastest - and yet sometimes he was quicker.

"I don't personally think he will win it. It's too early to say, but I think it will go to Vettel or Alonso. I think it is good for the sport, but I don't think he was very well advised to take it."

I think Moss is a little off regarding the #2. People forget Barrichello was VERY quick in the same car (albeit set up much differently). Many time Barrichello won (or should have won) directly against Schumacher at his peak. We'll see - Schumi would not have committed to it unless he thought he would win.

Well said Chris, Schumi is far from a fool last time I checked. Plus Schumi's last season may have went different if him and Alonso were on the same tires, but he still pushed him to the limit despite back luck.
F1 2010, all year

I think that's exactly his point--people judge drivers based on how fast they are compared to their #2. Rubes hasn't won any championships and hasn't won too many races, yet he was still able to beat Shumi now and again. His theory, anyways...

There's no doubt that one of Schumi's strengths was his politics--he always made sure he was on the best team and had the best people around him. He was never "nice"--look at his first championship win vs. Hill. That and his fitness were his two greatest strengths IMO.
