The past is the best indicator we have as to what to expect, so yeah, we should at least take it into consideration when speculating about this season.

Of course, none of that crap was self-inflicted.
In the first half of 2009 Lewis showed a lot about his true self, on and off the track, which had been successfully hidden from most of us previously. That was his first time in an uncompetitive car, and he failed to outperform that car. So, if the McLaren isn't competitive this season it doesn't look positive for him.

Disagree. I think any other driver wouldn't have had the bashing MS had for his relatively poor performances(Pace-wise; his use of extreme tactics is another matter altogether) and would've gotten off lighter, since they wouldn't have had the expectations on them that Schumacher did. Drivers have performed worse than he did in 2010 and kept their drives the following season.
