No, they rebuilt the team AROUND him. Schumacher is a talented driver, the most talented of the bunch, but if he had to drive a lesser car as half the field does every week, he'd not be winning any races. And that's teh problem with giving him a most dominant athlete label. His car is more than 50% of the reason for his success.
