I think thats one of the key factors in Schumi's relative lack of performance since coming back to F1. Think back to Schumi's early career, it wasnt until '94 when refuelling was introduced that Schumi really came to the fore
(...)

Ford V8 powered Benetton driven by Micheal Schumacher that won through amongst countless allegations of cheating (indeed, the car was found to have traction control software buried deep in it's ECU, along with McLaren though both claimed to use it for "testing purposes").

I disagree about the first part. Michael was strong since 1992, when he bothered Mansell, Senna and Patrese with an arguably weaker Benetton. About the 1994 car, it's ironic that usually Macca fans scream foul about it, given that nice little piece of information. Back on topic, I think that Mike adapted very well to the changes in 1994, now he has lost this ability, to learn new things... because IMO he is a bit old for F1

Still good, but no longer magical.
