Who had imagined that at this moment of the year and the championship, Michael Schumacher and his Ferrari would have squashed to all rivals, obtaining 8 9 victories of Grand Prix, which still makes possible more than the red Baron reaches his seventh title of pilots.
Leaving of side the statistics of all the records broken by the German, almost unattainable, it is necessary to analyze the factors that take to Schumacher to the success.

SCUDERIA FERRARI

When Michael arrived, almost 20 years ago the Scuadra de Maranello did not obtain a title.
They had and they have the estimated major and the best infrastructure, but they needed the correct pieces to organize themselves and to obtain the balance like equipment.

The champion so far surpassed to his Barrichello companion in all the classifications, with the exception of the GP of EE.UU.

Schumacher, intelligently was engaged in of Benetton to famous dupla Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne. The South African is the top person in charge of the design of the chassis, whereas Brawn, is the astute strategist of races and pal of Michael. They are headed by Jean Todt, that is the control of the equipment and that realizes an impressive effort to connect everything perfectly.
The magnificent chassis of Byrne, the F2004, is balanced aerodynamically, since it adapts to all the circuits without difficulty. One is impelled by the most powerful motor of the park at present, specification 053, constructed on the other key piece of escudería, Paolo Martinelli surely.
In addition Shell has created a slighter fuel, than it allows to load combustible major, maintaining the reliability of the motor, making possible for the pilots a halting less in boxes and thus to obtain major time in the track.
The president of the Cavallino Rampante, Luca Cordero I gave Montezemolo, is the one who handles the institutional and commercial aspect, maintaining to Ferrari like the great empire that is and it will always be, been born into the hands of remembered Don Enzo Ferrari.
All of them are the right hand of Michael Schumacher, since they occupy a as important place as the German, so that this it is where it is.

BRIDGESTONE POTENZA

Bridgestone demonstrated to have better compounds for all the track that Michelin in this season

Although the Japanese mark was on the verge of being beaten by the French of Michelin the previous championship, this year they optimized the tire in such a way that practically it is unbeatable in any asphalt and temperature.
The advantage that has the Bridgestone is that, the time that obtains in classification, they can maintain it in race rate, when the rubber takes temperature, whereas the Michelin, usually loses between 1 and 2 seconds of speed in relation of the classification and the race.
In addition, Bridgestone centralizes its main work in the creation and development of its tires, being based on Ferrari, that as well construct their car being based also of the tires, to arrive at the suitable aerodynamic stability. On the other hand, Michelin wears Williams, Renault, Toyota, McLaren, Jaguar and BAR, who own unstable cars that do not adapt in the same way to all the circuits.

RUBENS BARRICHELLO

Ever since it competes in Ferrari, Barrichello gained 7 races and added an 8 total of poles

Any pilot of Formula 1, or rather, any pilot of all the categories of motoring, must like objective obtain the championship, beating to all, including a his teammate.
In Ferrari, it is the unique place where they exist first and a second pilot, since Schumacher this with them.
First in undergoing it was Eddie Irvine, that by its strong personality, made the decision to leave Ferrari, when in the '99, its car lost yield inexplicably preventing him to fight the title with Mika Hakkinen, due to the injury of Michael in England.
Irvine arrived at Jaguar with critics to its backs, but the place of pilot number 1 knew to grow like professional and to gain, in one escudería that took his first steps in the F1 and that gave the possibility him to the Irish of showing its potential.
This way, it arrived the Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, catalogued as a future star, on the basis of his excellent yield in Stewart.
Accidentally, for that they follow the maximum category, Barrichello had been companion of Irvine in Jordan, where extrovert had surpassed the Irish it in several opportunities. Everything fitted …
Rubinho thought that in his first season was going to give the same treatment him that to the German and was with the best one of the spirits.
In the second year, when account of the reality occurred, it began to realize declarations against the equipment, but it hit against all Ferrari and it had to maintain shut up his impulses.
Inexplicably, until this season it continues being eternal number 2, supporting the victories, titles and the accumulated pay of the German.
Who knows the mysterious one and turbid agreement that the Brazilian maintains with the managers of Ferrari.

ITS RIVALS

McLaren failed fully this year. The equipment already thinks about the car of the next year

It is truth that are other pilots, of the stature of Montoya, Raikkonen, Button, Alonso, Trulli, Fisichella or Webber, with a great talent to develop and to demonstrate, but also it is certain that at this moment they do not own the best weapon to improve they themselves and to do to him against Ferrari.
Williams ran the risk designing a totally new chassis and consequently to this it needs development like being able to adapt to all the circuits maintaining always its stability and preventing to operate the frightful power of BMW.
McLaren wanted to hurry and designed a defective chassis terribly aerodynamically, undergoing in addition by the breakage and the lack to power of Mercedes V10.
Renault improved the power of its motor, but the chassis does not have the same capacity of takes hold that the previous car.
BAR is the one who realized the greater growth, as much at level chassis as of motor, but this it is the first year after many failures and still they must demonstrate that they own the capacity to stay arrives.

The Toyota motor demonstrated to be as powerful as the Ferrari and BMW, but the chassis still is deficient

Toyota also failed in the design of the chassis, creating a heavy and slow car that is placed between 2 and 3 seconds of the end, avoiding that the motor can show all their power the floor.
To Jaguar it needs to total financial support of Ford to improve the good package chassis-motor that it has and to retain to Webber.
Sauber and Jordan do not have the economic force to construct winning machines, added to that the motors Ferrari and Cosworth that they drive to them respectively, are the same that at the beginning of year, without presenting/displaying the same evolutions that Ferrari or Jaguar.
And Minardi will be always Minardi, at heart of the squad fighting not to disappear, with a chassis done with more pride than with money and a motor of old generation.

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER

Michael totally concentrate before going to track. Nobody is so hard mentally as the champion of the world

Finally, he is the same Michael who has the capacity to arrive at the most high. He is so quick classifying as Ayrton the Seine and is an excellent strategist in race like Alain Prost.
Although Schumacher is still more fort than these mentally, since it always maintains the concentration and the precision to make those times formidable. An enviable physical state, added to that conductiva ability that few must to be different from the majority.
One is at the best sport moment and personal of his race, since when being in Ferrari, it had the greater possibility of growing, of being developed and of optimizing his qualities like pilot.
He is the unique pilot of whom it competes in the F1, that lives its better stage like professional, competing in best escudería.
Without doubts seventh coronation of pilots will obtain his and surely year in highest will retire in order, leaving a mark in world-wide motoring as few can do.
