Thank you Michael Schumacher for being THE BEST racing driver ever, like you have shown yesterday.
Though bad luck grabbed you last race and didn't leave in this one, you made a remarkable performance in the Brazilian GP.

Lol saw that on yournews 2day. Micky s is my all time hero. He had a lot of luck getting that many f1 wins and many contraversial ones but he is an ace. He can drive anything really well apart from a van

Who are you thinking of -
Peter Collins, Mike Hawthorn, Stirling Moss, James Hunt, or Jackie Stewart?
They were all good but 5 time Champ Juan Manuel Fangio was absolutely dominant through his era (1950 - 1957) and no-one really thought 5 titles would ever be beaten in the modern era especially after Senna died on 3 titles and Prost retired on 4.
I've seen telemetry data of Schumacher published in a magazine and his left foot braking technique gives him an advantage even over Barichello in the same car as he could brake later and accelerate earlier. The difference was about 0.5s per lap. The way he and the Ferrari team developed and implemented pit strategy is what made his victories look easy; the way he could put in fastest lap after fastest lap while his opponents were pitting and on cold tyres then having a lightning fast in-lap and pitstop allowed him to leapfrog many cars. I once saw him finish in 2nd place despite having only 5th Gear for 1/2 of the race - incredible.
Button is a moron IMO and I'm a big HondaF1 fan. They should have let Williams have him in 2006.  Schumacher chewed him up and spat him out on many occasions.
