This is stupid though because they made Michael Schumacher do it on a wet day. As the plane can only go a few hundred metres on its wheels and then has to leave the ground, it's gonna have the advantage over the Ferrari struggling for grip.

most jet fighters have 15,000 + lbs/ft thrust (per engine)vs an F1 which has only 1200 lbs/ft. if the engines were equal then one would think differently.
