Michael Schumacher is arguably the best racing driver in the world. Period.

Nice work by Ferrari .. although am not a fan by any stretch of imagination

McLaren always for me ..
I was thinking how I might be torn next year .. if Kimi goes to Ferrari ..
But then I think I've found my next man in Nico .. he'll be a champ soon ..

I hope the fans can do the maths.

If i was yet studying actuarial science i would try and come up with probability values for schumi winning the championship as well

on a serious note schumi is going to have a tough time trying to get ahead of alonso as the spaniard somehow or the other always on the podium and renuault does not have any reliability issues as well.

Looks like Alonso n his team of chimps have to watch their backs...

Just to remind u..

Number of championships won -
Michael Schumacher - Many
Fernando Alonso - umm, one perhaps?

Maths ain't tuf in Paris is it

, But Seriously Deeps Its Schumacher and not Shoemaker as you said. I hope that was a typo on your part though!

Cheers

In a sport where numbers matter a lot, lets just look at the facts...

No. of times Schumacher has won the championship - More than three times as Alonso
No. of races Schumacher has won - Again more than three times as Alonso
No. of times Ferrari have won the championship - More than three times as Renault

Is it so difficult to admit...DUH!!

Hope its not too hard on you tax your memory a little bit.

Michael Schumacher : 7 time world champion (94,95,00,01,02,03 and 04) and that will tax your memory for sure buddy

Fernando Alonso: Current world champion, thats it! (not coz he is better than shummi but coz he had a better car last year)

prince85 · 7th May 2006, 23:57

sorry Karthink but the No. of times Schumacher has won the championship - 7 times as much as Alonso, it says it all!

The only numbers that really matter are the ones on the clock.

So are you trying to compare Michael Schumacher's talent to Fernando Alonso???

. Well the world knows that Michael Schumacher is the best driver in the world. IMHO, i feel that Michael is the closest thing to Aryton Senna there has ever been as far as sheer talent and speed in an F1 racing driver is concerned.
