"Master Kenobi Schumacher, strayed to the dark side of the force front of the grid Anakin Nico has, but look to the empire race you must"
ahem...
On a serious note, I think Schumacher's race pace has been very good this year. He probably has started two or three places behind Nico on average but I think what's hurt him most are several clumsy accidents. Last year the points standings finished with a points ratio of around 2:1 in the favour of Nico but so far this year it's 4:3 which is a fairly significant improvement. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do next year, particularly if Mercedes end up making a race winning car.
