Maybe Jean is not quite as driven or as hungry as he used to be. With
time, other factors enter in one's mind which tend to reduce the sharp
focus formerly reserved for only one activity.
Or there are limitations to his car which preclude his showing his
talents in the wet.

Sorry but I dont share your viewpoint. Schumacher has always been excellent in
the wet. Remeber Spa in 95? He stated from the back and won in the rain. There
he blew by Hill while on Slicks while Damon was on rain tires. I'll never
forget that day...

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Actually Hill passed Schuey when he was on wets and Schu on slicks. They
nearly collided at Les Combes and Schu went off allowing Hill through.
Still a great drive though :-)
