When it comes to this no.1 and no.2 status thing people deal in absolutes, whereas there are really degrees.
For Hamilton his team mates have been allowed to beat him and, while not always, best drivers available who may challenge him were signed. I don’t think that was quite the same with Schumacher.
Before anyone gets giddy I’m not saying they detract from either. Although I have preferred the McLaren and Mercedes approach to the Ferrari one.
