Roll on 2008 that's what I say. That's when all the cars will be created the same so it's down to the driver's skill. I love F1 but watching Schumacher win time and time again just drives people away from what should be the highlight of motorsport.
And even when Schumahcer fails (China), Barichello is always there in his dominating Ferrari car to steal the show.
'Tis a crisis, and one I hope will be resolved soon before the 'sport' becomes very unpopular.

It is not Schumachers fault that over the past 3 years he has had no real decent competition.
It is up to the competitors to make their car more competitive.
There are rumours going around that he may retire at the end of next season. Which i seriously hope not. (No i dont support him cause he wins. Ive liked him since meeting him at the British GP way back in 1993) :)

I dont think he was saying the guy doesnt have skill. He was saying that, when all the cars are produced to run and perform to the same level, then the winner is always going to be the more skilled driver. Schuey is skilled, but there is no doubt that his car cleary performs better than any of the others, so he always has the upperhand.

Exaclty. I never said Schumacher wasn't skilled, but I get very tired of his constant winning when people like Kimi should be competing against him, but the car isn't up to much.
Schumacher is simply a very talented driver with a very good team behind him, unlike the great drivers of ther past. Fangio, Clark, Moss, Gilles Villeneuve and Alberto Ascari would have been more than a match for him, andhad it not been for Ayrton Senna's untimely death, there would have been many a great duel between the two.
But he does not perform well under pressure- 2003 proved that, with many an inconsistent display. He seemns to be slipping again, right now- look at the recent spins and sloppy overtaking manoever against Klien in China. If the other teams get their acts together next year, which McLaren probably will do incredibly well, it will be a very hard year.

If Montoya was in a Ferrari and allowed to race him (though i don't think Montoya would listen if they told him not to race Schumey) then the picture would be very different. He's the only driver on the grid i think that actually races the man and not the reputation. We've already seen countless times since his arrival Montoya outclass Schumacher and if he had a capable car that'd be a very good contest to watch i feel
I read an article a few weeks ago about this subject. There was a poll that was run and it suggested that 3 out of 4 didn't mind Schumacher dominating. The major concern to most people seemed to be the lack of overtaking and the pit stop strategies.
I've never been a fan of refuelling but then back in the day, there were no pit lane speed limits and it was 4 second tyre changes.

Exactly, pretty much after the third lap any overtaking is done in the pit lane. Give me Champ Cars anyday at the present moment
To be honest, I think the most promising drivers and team are B.A.R.
Takuma Sato and Jenson Button, top class stuff.
