With the retirement of Schumi, Kimi and Massa can race each other (my guess anyway), hence the current scenario.To me personally, a f1 driver who wins from flag-to-flag may not necessary be faster, but the driver who has to over-take other drivers and then win races is quicker (e.g. drivers like Schumi, Senna, etc). Nowdays, we always see that drivers have a lot of problems over-taking due to the aerodynamics of the cars even though they have faster cars. Anyway, I find F1 to be more exciting with more overtaking during the Senna-Prost-Mansell-Piquet years as compared to now. Hopefully, when they don't have Traction Control anymore in 2008, things will be more exciting and driver's skill will have a bigger role as compared to computers in F1 cars now.</blockquote>
