I do wonder what schumachers number 2 drivers could have done given the chance...and how good he was compared to them given equal treatment.

I expect Bottas to challenge Hamilton, how much he can match lewis when he has his good days or mentally when the mind games start only time will tell.
Agree on Rosberg, he took advantage of Hamilton's mistakes/misfortunes to get wins

As for Schum'is teammates, I have a feeling Rubens could have done it given the chance, he already proved more than a match on several occasions
