Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Schuey

[Rodney Ramos (ltwacko]

It's true that he probably can't win a championship without a car designed specifically for him like anyone else but for him to be so far off the pace relative to his teammate or other driver's in first time rides so late in the season, I still think he's having a hard time "adapting" and so is Brawn. Button seems to be doing fine in a car designed for Hamilton and Kovi - different driving styles yet he's able to adapt.

Brawn is the man Schuey won a lot with. You would think Brawn would know how best to update the current chassis to suit someone he worked so long with. And they have MB money! However, I do believe next year's car for Schuey is the proof in the pudding on his performance level. Notice, I didn't say whether he should return or not. Sometimes it's just fun not to putz around the house even if you are losing. I don't think he should have to answer to us if it was right to return or not. Ask the guy in last place in Formula 1. He wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Look at how Rubens smiles.

I think Button said it best 'Schuey is driving a car designed for ME!

Almost all of Schuey's team mates could not drive the setup on Schuey's car.

Apparently it is not a simple changing the camber and/or toe in.

I think this would be a good question for Steve Matchett, he should have some idea of Shuey's setup while he was at Benetton.

It has been about 14 years, so I would not think he would be giving away secrets.

 

I tended to think he liked a live/ oversteer car.

Button jumps into a car designed for someone else - He wins.

Kubica jumps into a car designed for someone else - He (almost) wins.

Alonso jumps into a car designed for someone else - He wins.

Weber jumps into a car designed for someone else - He wins.

 

Schuey jumps into a car designed for someone else and he can't adapt.

 

Honda, Ferrari, Braun, MB.  All under the design of the same person - Ross Braun.  The people who design the Civic do not design F1 cars.  You really can't compare the brands to their worldwide counterparts.  When a team changes ownership/management in F1, all you essentially did was change the hood ornament. I don't think Braun is as "brilliant" an engineer as everyone makes him out to be.  It may take him awhile but he is capable of designing a championship car.  We just really have to give credit to the current engineers at Ferrari, Renault, McLaren, Red Bull etc for making good changes faster and that there are some really good drivers in F1 TODAY.

 

Just some random thoughts.
