oh balls! if Alonso's engine hadn't quit at Monza (which I'm sure was brought on by his pushing after that ridiculous Stewards penalty) then he'd be champion already

In F1 (and in every sport), you don't "deserve" to win. You work your sorry ass to win against your rivals with all you got.

Something Schumacher seems to had forgotten a long time ago. Too much time around Ross Brown and being the FIA spoiled brat had make him a marketing icon instead of a real champion.

7 world championships and who-cares-records? People will remember him mor for his out-of-the-rules antics, including Adelaide-gate, Jerez-gate, Austria-gate, Monaco-gate, the FIA banning Renault's Mass Damper System and Alonso's penalty on Monza by the Italian stewards (smell like Conspiracy Theory, isn't it?)

The Ferrari's blown up engine is the irony of this end of season. Something of "poetry justice" after Monza.

And don't forget, Schumacher was only in the right place at the right time, put him in any car other than a Ferarri and he's a mediocre driver at best.

The FIA wanted a spokesperson, someone to embody the spirit of F1, so they turned to their favourite team and allowed them to bend (and often break) the rules for six straight years in an effort to create the Muhammad Ali of autosports.

i suggest you go to learn the story of Ferrari in F1

schum helped a lot in developping the Ferrari, at the begining he didn't win, then they started good, and after they win so mannyyy title..

you can't say he's a mediocre driver, because he is not, and you CANNOT SAY that if he was in another team he wouldn't be so good, wich is sooo fake. he helped a lot in restarting the Ferrari in F1, so please get the fuck out, and go watch Tennis.

Lol, moron.

Regardless of any of your faggoty speculation, results are results.

Micheal Schumacher was the best driver to hop in a seat since Mario Andretti stopped racing competitively for a loooooooong time. You don't completely dominate the most prestigious racing series in the world for that long by being mediocre. Period.

You're both idiots

Check out the charity race six of the drivers held in 1998 using Arrows cars.

On a level playing field, Schumacher came in last, he failed to beat Panis, Diniz, Hakkinen, Frentzen and Villeneuve.

So I guess I can say he would have sucked if he was in another team because your precious German couldn't beat the guy who finished second to last in the 1998 drivers championship on a level playing field.

Suck it up, morons.

As you said, he develop the car for Ferrari for 2 years, but the fact that the new car after those 2 years was completely different gives you the real facts...

Schumi can't win in a well develop car (refer to 2005 season, please). A real champion do that. Alonso did that on his first victory when the Renault was uber inferior to the Ferrari (and even lap Schumi that day), the late Ayrton Senna manage to win in the powerless McLaren Ford in Monaco and Donington Park against the Active Suspension Williams and the Traction Controlled Benetton of Schumacher (even beating the so-called rain specialist Schumi in Donington)

Besides, aside from the title that Jean Marie Balestre gave to Prost in 1989 (and because of full politics), Schumacher is the only champion that has been aided by the FIA itself.

I admit that he was good in his first years with Benetton, but going to the Ross Brawn Ferrari, and the politics in F1 neglected him to be the greatest pilot in history.

Or maybe the silent stigma of being the last person who saw Ayrton Senna in Imola 1994 and the fact that he never pass him in equal conditions...

though it truly is cliche to either hate or love michael; you have some very fine and outstanding points.

despite the fact i think that prost deserved his 1989 WDC.

The problem with Schumi is that he make himself be hated. Austria-gate was his own doom, just as Ross Brown's. Let's hope that Kimi Raikkonen don't enter a corrupted Ferrari Team next year. The last thing we need is another FIA plaything.

1989 battle should've been settled on the track instead on the desk. Balestre was to blame not only for that, but to allow that Senna risked his life after the crash with Prost. If he hasn't pass Nanini and won, should Balestre had have the balls to disqualify him? If not, the Ocean's Cup on Adelaide (AKA: 1989 Austrailan GP) could've been a memmorable season finale.

Prost and Senna were real masters on track.

And indeed there were. I can't help but list both as my all time favourite drivers; but there comes a time where you favour one over the other. Prost was my first hero in life.

In the once called WWIII, Prost was the technical driver. It was impressive his almost perfect way of driving his McLaren Honda. Senna was the rougue. His fighting spirit, aggressive driging courage and determination to win make him alluring for every fan.

It was THE battle. Two different styles in the same car until 1989. A real battle of titans. It's a pity that Balestre ruined the perfect team that Ron Dennis make at that time.

Maybe Schumi would appear even better if he had has a more competitive partner instead of a contract-buy squire 24/7. Not to offend Rubens Barrichello, but it was clear that he was the weak link in Brawn's Ferrari Team.

Strange enough, if Il Commendatore Enzo Ferrari could've seen Austria-gate in his life time, Schumi and Brawn would've been given the boot ASAP. Enzo Ferrari was a man who wanted the fastest drivers on his cars, not buffons that ashamed the sport he loved only to engross their bank accounts.
