This was the first REAL time they've had the 2005 car working with new aero parts and the carbon-fibre gearbox sorted out. And what is really hurting Shumacher to this point is tires, Bridgestone went the wrong way in developing them, and you can no longer change tires in the race. Schumacher has always been able to kick butt on his pit outlaps, but with worn tires he's not as effective. I still think he can pull off another championship in the long run, but it's gonna be awful close!
