You're right, I missed my own point there. But nobody says, 'oh, it down to Brawn', it's just 'The Merc'. In that respect they've done well
in the team game. Certainly none of the drivers are overtly credited with its development.
I fear Ferrari are putting too much stock in Vettel to up the ante of a less competitive car.
It's Allison that's been given the free hand to sort out the Ferrari. Vettel is just going to drive it
... Many suspected Vettel was not in the league of Hamilton and Alonso, this year seems to have confirmed that.
...The technical side has now overriden everything. In the last twenty years I can only think of two people who have made a constant and significant difference
across multiple teams, Newey and Brawn. You could probably add MS into the perfect storm of Ferrari domination but that was different era with different paramters.
Unless we're putting the Merc success down to him too. Nobody really talks about who made this Merc great, it just seemed to appear fully formed, like a freaky baby...
I get it now! So since Vettel is regarded by many as being a lesser driver than Alonso, Ferrari must be planning on making up for that by giving him a better car and better luck so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Why would it be so hard to believe that Schumi helped develop the car in his time at Mercedes?
Isn't that ironic? Hamilton has benefitted from Schumi's skill, experience and expertise!!

During his time at Merc they attempted to develop the car around him, and he improved, but there was none of that previous Schumacher sparkle.
You can't just plonk someone in a car, even MS, and tell them to work their magic again...
...there were quite a few people
who all contributed to Ferrari's success, and he was just a part of that...
...He may have had input to the early design of this Merc but knowing he wasn't going to drive it, or that it wouldn't turn a wheel in anger when he
was there, i doubt there's much, if any, MS dna in it.
