"Could you imagine Montoya and Schumi dueling for poles in identical spec F2002's? Not to mention race finishes?"

yeah, it would suck, because I highly doubt that the two drivers like their cars set up the exact same way. They'd both be slow and it would not be a measure of anything except how they could perform in some odd-ball poorly-tuned rocket with wheels.

"A pole lap is pretty much the truest test of man vs. track and a guy who can outqualify Schumi on a regular basis is something special indeed."

If you think the car setup for qualifying and racing is the same, you are sorely mistaken. There are drastic differences in fuel delivery, timing, aerodynamics, suspension stiffness and weight distrobution. As far as Montoya's being able to qualify higher than Schumacher on a regular basis? Perhaps Schumacher doesn't feel the need to post ungodly qualifying times and would rather have a strong reliable car for the actual race?
