I like him because he's a winner. I like him because he's an arrogant prick. I like him because he's a ferocious fighter. I like him because he's Ferrari, but most of all, I like him because he is not afraid of ruining his reputation by doing anything to win. Adelaide 94? Jerez 97? Monaco 06? Gotta admire a guy who is so obsessed with winning! Unsportsman-like? Who cares?! It's F1!! Am I biased? Ofcourse!... I'm a fan.
If you don't like controversy, if you don't like politics and back stabbing and bitching, you should change your sport. This is F1.
BTW, yes, he is the greatest.

Ayrton Senna. the adaptation between Senna and Schumacher replaced into that Senna replaced into the final between the likes of Piquet, Prost and Mansell. Atleast 4 of Schumachers titles have been gained in autos that have been for sure the quickest on the grid, and the main efficient drivers he got here up against in his championship years at Ferrari have been Mikka Hakkinen, David Coulthard, JP Montoya and Ralph Schumacher, all reliable drivers, yet no longer interior the comparable league as a results of fact the great drivers that Senna went up against. Senna's autos have been between the quickest on the grid, yet he on no account had the sparkling benefit that Michael Schumacher had from 2001 to 2004. this would not propose that Schumacher isn't between the all-time greats, basically no longer the final.

I don't think I could ever call him one of the greatest. One of the best records and one of the best undeniably, but not one of the greatest. GQ magazine did say he was the world's biggest boor, however. I think of him as the biggest *** in racing.
Greatness is for the likes of Ayrton Senna. He defined it and even redefined it. He was a legend in his own time and he still is today, even more. He was never all about himself. He put his money into the Ayrton Senna Foundation, which continues to grow each year.
Ayrton Senna Foundation. Go SENNA!!

Absolutely. Let's remember that he has won with more than one team (Benetton). Montoya had the chance to use one of the best cars on the grid (McLaren-Mercedes) and he did not take advantage of that. Michael has the stats and one important thing: commitment. He will train harder, work harder and go further than anybody else, that is why he is one of the oldest drivers and he is still on the top.

I suppose so, Although if every past F1 Champion were able to drive the same car, I believe Nigel Mansell would be the best.

Well I consider him the best ever and the best to walk on earth !
A true champion. His worst season - 2005, was where we saw the best off him. I mean to end up 3rd in championship table with that shitty car and Tyre's he had - mann - that need a load of talent.

He's a good driver, not a great one; there will always be an asterisk beside his name.
Great drivers have names like Nuvolari, Fangio, Ascari, Clark, Stewart ... none had to cheat to win races or championships.

Yes, Schumacher is THE best ever.

Of coarse, he has impressive stats to back it up. I do believe that Juan Montoya could have been just as good but never got set up with a competitive ride.
