+1 on what Nostatic said, that sums it up nicely.
Also, on the above, I don't really understand it, and the posts similar to it. How can Schumacher's wins be discounted by a lack of "sportsmanship?"
I'll admit I haven't watched much F1 in the last few years, but used to watch it religiously, and watched many, many of MS's wins, starting at Bennetton.
He has what, 250 or so F1 starts, and an incredible 90 or so wins.
Specifically, which of those wins were the result of unsportsmanlike driving, or what did he wrongfully do to ensure that others were unable to get those 90 wins???? What % of his wins were won "fair and square?"

No....he is a freak of nature, as was Fangio, Rossi, Petty, Ted Williams, etc. Some guys just have some inate physical abilities that the rest of us don't. He is easy on cars because driving is easy for him. That is how Rossi wins too. Everyone else goes out,hauls ass and tears up their tires tryingto keep away from the guy and after they are spent, he passes them and wins. The complaint some may have about Shumacher is that his is so mecahnical in his precision, but that is a question of STYLE, not ABILITY and there are no style points in any real racing.......notice i said REAL racing for all you drifters out there........lol
