Bullshit. Looks at Williams or Mclaren. Both teams have dumped a ton of money into the sport, with McLaren seemingly coming out with a new chassis every few races, and neither have yet to best Ferarri. Further proof can be found simply looking at Barrichello. He's in the same basic car as Schumacher yet is hard pressed to put on the same type of performance. I think it's in poor taste to simply lump Schumacher's success on the car he's driving. Hell, just check out his history driving for Benetton-Renault/Benetton-Ford. The man simply brings a skill level to the field that others are hard-pressed to match.
I don't doubt Schumacher's talent, success w/e; but on the otherhand that you mentioned Rubens Barrichello, do you really think Ferrari let's him do whatever he wants in terms of being a sole rider as opposed to Schumacher's backup ? Maybe, lately but before he was purely backup; but ya no doubt Schumacher has talent, but Ferrari is dominating lately, no one else is worthwhile watching this year besides Schumacher...btw I'm pleasantly suprised people here actually watch F1
