3 Sub-plots
Everyone made a big deal of Michael Schumacher’s pole lap at Monaco, as if it
was proof his return to the sport was justified and he should now stay
beyond this season. I look at it in a slightly different way. It was a great
lap, but I expect that of him. Michael is a seven-time world champion with
91 wins to his name. What is a surprise to me is the fact that he has been
consistently outperformed by his team mate over the last two and a bit
years. Whether Michael can get the better of Nico Rosberg on a consistent
basis is what matters, rather than one great qualifying performance.
