Why is it when Ferrari wins, the comment is always either by luck, by default etc...  (Reference Heretic 3-16)
Why can't you accept that Ferrari has better cars that day and MS is a good driver?  But when McLaren wins, they drive a good race?????  Please be more objective! - Li L. Singapore

The Heretic replies:

Firstly, I am as hard on McLaren and their drivers as I am on Ferrari. In fact I cannot remember ever giving unqualified credit for a win if it has been by default.

There is no denying that Michael Schumacher is overall the best driver out of those that are in a position to compete (it is very hard to compare him to the Buttons and Raikkonens as they just do not have the car to prove their point) but if McLaren did not screw up at the start again he may not have won. Had Hakkinen not retired Barrichello may not have finished in second. You do not think that is lucky?

Coulthard has finished in the points in every race so far this year. Somehow that is not pure luck and seeing that he does not seem to be consistently faster than Ferrari or Williams and the rest, I think that is an achievement. Hakkinen on the other hand has been totally unimpressive but at Monaco he was faster than Barrichello.

In Monaco Ferrari was more reliable and Schumacher is fast almost everywhere. There I have said it.

But you are not going to get me to say that Ferrari is fastest or that Barrichello is competitive because it is unlikely that either or both of these statements are true.
