Certainly Schumi couldn't have done it alone and he persuaded Todt to bring in people like Brawn. Schumi may have had it easy, but he deserved his success. Doesn't mean he was the greatest though...

That's a good point. Schumi joined Ferrari in '96. A year later both Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn came over from Benetton and joined Ferrari. However I wouldn't say Schumi had it easy. He got himself disqualified that year, was bride's maid the following year and was 5th in '99, missing 7 GPs after he broke his leg going into the tyre wall at 200 mph, just after the start of the British GP.
