@McLarenMercedes BRM was not the best car in 64 or 65; it was more reliable then the Lotus in 64.
The 65 Lotus had both speed and reliability and the best driver in it.
Lotus had the fastest car (for most of the season) in 1960, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 68 but they only had reliability in 63, 65 and 68.
Schumacher is old, if you look at footage/ archive from his early days and compare it to 2010 it's like he's driving/ moving in slow motion. The competition is also tougher these days.

The BRM was the best car in 1964 and 1965.
In 2008 the Ferrari (and its tires) weren't to Raikkonen's liking, and after a few mechanical troubles while leading (France) and Hamilton taking him out in Canada, he lost the "pace".
Interestingly enough Michael Schumacher ALSO never got used to the balance of the tires of his Mercedes in 2010, so either Schumacher's superiority is a myth too considering he was easily beaten by Nico Rosberg (who is yet to win a race) or it's more...

Ferrari was nowhere near the pace of Mercedes in 1955. If not for the technical malfunction in Monaco, Mercedes would have won every single race that season. Good for Ferrari that the LeMans crash in 1955 meant that Mercedes immediately pulled out of ALL forms of motorracing, and didn't return until the late 80's.

His speed mysteriously came back in 09 after Massa's incident despite Ferrari stopped developing their car... Nevertheless, the championship changed something in Kimi. I remember I watched from tv when he visited the celebration held by president of Finland in December 07. The reporter asked Kimi something about future and Kimi answered something like he's already won the title. I got this impression that he had lost the pinnacle of motivation, that he stayed in F1 for fun :/

@McLarenMercedes Well you can't argue that Clark was the best driver, by quite a margin.
Even if his cars wouldn't have been the fastest (witch they were in 62, 63, 64, 65 and 67) he would have beaten everyone given equal equipment.
Räikkönen ... he had a faster but less reliable car. But his supposed speed superiority myth ended when Massa started to beat him.

@McLarenMercedes I know all that.
But championships are won when everything is added together giving the higher number of points.
Moss came up with 1 point less.
is it ferrari vs mercedes championship?huhuhu
