MICHAEL SHUMACHER
This weeks legend is undoubtedly the greatest formula one Drivers of all time. I was given statistics and information for this write up by the local Shumi himself. Thanks Ebi.
It is without doubt that Shumacher when it comes to being great in Formula One Shumacher and Ferarri Emerges as the top contenders. There were many greats in the past, Shector, Senna, Prost, Hakinnen. But this man gets my vote. Here are some statistics that emulate his feats. Is this subjest debatable. Im all ears. If not Whom do you guys think should have achieved legendry status?

Forza Ferarri
"greatest of all time"... i dont know. certainly great though. why i say not of all time is bcos we never really saw senna. that was a gutsier driver! he was class! he maut was witten that way.
ReplyDeletenevertheless hats off to schumi!
he definitely quit while he was A HEAD
I once heard. What is the difference between Pele and Senna?
ReplyDeletePele could take corners
I think the Schumi was the greatest driver IN HIS TIME, and not all time. The technology that is available now was not available years before.
ReplyDeleteThere was no launch control, 4 wheel drive, advanced aero dynamics in Senna's time, so it is difficult to compare the various drivers. If Senna (or any other driver) had the same technology as Schumi had today and new how to use it they might have been better than him. But alas, we will never know or ever find out.
I am a great Schumi fan, but I also think that was not stiff enough competition for him, and that allowed Schumi to reign.
But Schumi has allready broken records and proven himself, so hats off to him.
The reasons the Scumi won all his titles :
ReplyDelete1 - He knocked his nearest rivals out of the race.
2 - He raced with Muggs and won the titles.
3 - When he raced with Senna he never won the Title .
Senna is King
SCHUMI is KING !
ReplyDeleteSenna was also gr8 but he just had n unfortunate end.
Schumi,barichelo n Ferrari made a gr8 team.Its not schumiz fault det he raced wit MUGGS,he definately did not ask 2 race wit dem.Dey wer selceted by their teams who saw dem as worthy competitors,if dey werent ready or worthy 2 compete wit da best we cnt blame schumi 4 his gr8ness or their weakness.
SCHUMI RULES ! ! !
