Formula 1: Have Ferrari found the new Michael Schumacher in Kimi Raikkonen?

An inevitable question in the mind of each and every member of the tifosi: Will Kimi be the next Schumi?

Well, the answer to this question is a tricky one. First, what made Schumi so special? Michael Schumacher, with 91 wins, holds the record for the maximum wins and a majority of those wins are with Ferrari.

Michael came into a listless Ferrari team in 1996, a team whose last champion was Scheckter in 1979. Michael built the team around himself: he won over the entire team with his talent. His outstanding driving commanded the team’s respect.

Soon, along with Jean Todt and Ross Brawn, Schumacher formed the most brilliant tactical team which won many a race for Ferrari simply by out-thinking the opposition. Such was the level of trust the troika had developed with each other that they would back Michael to pull off even the most improbable of feats like an unbelievable four-stop (yes, you read it right a four-stop) strategy in the French Grand Prix of 2004.
