Its relatively simple.... yes he had the best car and a great team set up but if all things were equal he would have still been head and shoulders above everyone else talent wise, especially in the wet. Qualifying/time trials was probably the wrong term to use as is wasn't mean't literally.
I'm sticking with Fangio's famous comments.

Hamilton has the potential to dominate the next 5-10 years or so but only time will tell, he is still young, has a famous girlfriend and they both appear to enjoy courting the media at times, I am not sure he has the focus or the determination, lets see how he performs on track on a sunday when he breaks up with the missus and its been all over the media for a week or two. Hopefully he does as the past few drivers we have had that had the skill, lacked in focus.
I think he lacks a bit of focus, however I think one could argue he has a lot more talent than either Hunt, Hill, or various of the other drivers since Stewart. I think management is a problem for him, I'd trust Do-Ron to keep a much better eye on him than Martin Whitmarsh.
Anyway on the topic of schumacher, they've had him out testing old cars, which I regard as a bit of a cheat as the replacement Torro Roso driver hasn't had as much of this or trying to get a special dispensation for 2009 cars, right in the middle of the break. In a normal season even if the car was as bad as it was I'd say Schumi might win in Brazil as it's a car that tends to do well there and they'd be working away like mad to make that happen.
