    When will he stop winning, he is more of a force than Michael Scumacher was.

    Well he has got the fastest car and a huge amount of luck on his side so it depends when Mclaren and Ferrari catch up and his luck runs out.

    When his luck runs out. JB was the fastest man today.

    No. Even though I don't like Schumacher, Vettel will have to have this dominance for at least 2 seasons to match schumi.

    You make your own luck, jenson was lucky that vettel had a bad pitstop and jenson and Alonso were unlucky because of the red flag, same thing applies for Lewis in china.

    Button had already got the undercut, Red Bull's bad pitstop just extended Button's lead a bit. Button got screwed over by both SCs which played straight into the hands of Vettel.

    Poor strategy from mclaren, cost JB clearly, and Vettel had more than his share of good luck with that accident at the end. I feel Alonso and JB would've nailed him easily during those last few laps, if BBC is to be believed at Vettel would've fallen off the cliff. Alonso would've then gone on to win :D

    Canada. Either the McLarens or Ferrari will win there.

    I don't know. If Red Bull can keep it together in Monaco and ride their luck, I don't know where they might be beaten.

    True, good point, but it's a different Red Bull this season. I hope you're right but I'm not holding out much of it.

    So you don't know about Schumacher's dominance? Don't compare Vettel to someone you don't really know <ok>

    I do, Schumacher dominated for many years, I was a bit wrong to compare him to Vettel because Vettel is himself in his own rights, I just believe that Vettel will become more dominant than Michael opinion, I just think that Vettel has more competition than Schumacher had and he handles it better, Not saying Michael was bad because he was not, he was absolutely amazing.

    This does raise an interesting point, is the competition facing Vettel tougher than Schumacher faced?

    Vettel's real challengers are Webber, Hamilton, Button, Alonso and Massa, nobody else realistically has machinery capable of a challenge, maybe Kubica could have dragged the Renault into competitive results, but I (personally) don't feel the Renault is inherently good enough. Last year Vettel faced the same competition.

    Schumacher, in his championship winning years, had to contend with Eddie Irvine, Reubens Barichello, Damon Hill, Gerhard Berger, Mika Hakkinen, David Coulthard, Jonny Herbert (?), Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Juan Pablo Montoya.

    Which set of drivers do you think are the best?
