They should just ban any drivers called Michael Schumacher and that would open the whole thing up for a lot more teams

well, you want to stay in the game, you need to follow the rule..
**I guess it may makes Ferrari more difficult to win...as other companies' products are more reliable..(such as HONDA, TOYOTA)
I won't expect any france engine to win anything...

I assume your joking lol. They can't ban a driver, but we do not get to see any potential from the lower teams. Not anyone can race F1. I would love to see any of the guys from the lower rank teams drive the Ferrari car and see how they handle it.
, but when you consider that Barrichello is a very experienced driver, yet he still can't perform as well as Michael in the Ferrari, then you can see that it would be a more open competition if MS wasn't at the wheel in the lead car ...

Actually if I do remember correctly.. Takuma Sato (sp?) the Honda driver had a couple of blown engines last year, and I think Button also had maybe one... possibly 2. So it's not that Honda and Toyota are more reliable.. it's a drivers race and the speed/power your engine gives out.

the Honda engine issues weren't all about reliability... it was mostly bad luck that Sato wouuld come out of the pits and get caught in traffic or something and his engine never properly cooled down from the heat soak from the pit stop.. therefore causing it to over heat and blow.
