Actually that's not even right -- it only works so long as Schumacher isn't winning all the races. But he is, and it Frank Williams is a fool if he thinks his robot technology can beat Schumacher's robot technology. It's a no win situation. What we need more of is Eddie Irvine's sarcasm, and the press failing to understand it.
