Just to add to the discussion.
[b]Fernando Alonso is on the “same level” as Michael Schumacher but has had less success than the German because he can “split a team”; that’s according to Felipe Massa.[/b]
During his years in Formula 1, Massa was team-mates with both World Champions.
When he first joined Ferrari in 2006 he was Schumacher’s team-mate and in his final years at the Scuderia, he was Alonso’s.
As such he has first hand knowledge of how both World Champions operate.
“As for pure talent, I would put Michael and Fernando on the same level,” Massa said.
“Alonso has the gift, the ease, of understanding a race and driving incredibly fast. A highly intelligent driver with extensive skills and I would say all that also about Michael.
Just for the record I do agree about the disruptiveness to a team but overrated? I guess he meant incomplete as he struggled to work with a team without a little disharmony, saying that Ferrari didn't deliver fully so maybe frustration, in terms of race craft top three easy imo
