TeddyG should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Granted it may not have been the same team without Shumi but that has more to do with the Bryne, Brawn, and Todt combination more than anything. Similarly BAR wouldn't exist without JV considering he couldn't take the best F1 designers and managers with him I think he has done quite well...JV created BAR without him that team wouldn't exist as BAT wouldn't have put up the money unless he was involved...Shumi can't say the same thing, he may have helped Ferrari to their current success but Ferrari would still be around with or without Schumi.

JV started a brand new team...Schumi helped a team (who has been in F1 since the beginning get back to the top) honestly which is the harder task here?

Doesn't it seem sad that drivers like Fisichella, Coultard, Barrichello, and Ralf all have secure seats in F1, despite having had race winning cars for many more seasons than Jacques, yet failing to chalk up as many wins as he (let alone a WDC) that it is Jacques who doesn't have a drive in F1??? Sad indeed.
