Exactly - at Benetton, Schumi and Martin Brundle were driving the same car - but their results were very different  Schumi could obtain performance that ordinary F1 drivers could never get from the car...

At Beneton wasn'it Johnny Herbert?  Smiley


Here's the Wikipedia article:

"... This helped Brundle get a 1992 switch to Benetton, with whom he would finally claim a recognised podium finish and consistent points finishes with some gritty drives.

In 1992 he had a productive season, with a strong finish to the year. He came close to a win at Canada, where having overtaken Schumacher and closing on leader Gerhard Berger, the transmission failed[5]. He never outqualified team-mate Michael Schumacher, but made up places with excellent starts (sixth to third at Silverstone), outraced the German at Imola, Montreal, Magny-Cours and Silverstone, and scored a notable second place at Monza. At Spa, Brundle went by when Schumacher went off the track. Schumacher noticed blisters on his team-mate's tyres on his return to the circuit and came in for slicks, a move that won him the race. Had Brundle not been distracted he would have pitted as planned at the end of that lap, with victory the most likely result. 1992 was his best F1 season[3], and is regarded in F1 as the closest any team mate has come to match Schumacher.[7]

To the shock of the F1 paddock[6], Brundle found himself dropped from Benetton for 1993, Italian Riccardo Patrese taking his place..."
