      The truth about Schumacher needing his teammates to sign #2 driver contracts so they weren't allowed to beat compete against him on a level playing field has been leaked. His whole first career is based in a lie:
      "At the time I handled people like Rubens Barrichello, Eddie Irvine, Giancarlo Fisichella and Jean Alesi, and every time we went to sign a contract with Michael Schumacher or Ferrari it always had conditions in it" - Eddie Jordon.
      "Whether I signed with Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello or whoever they were - there was a clause there that they always had to play second-fiddle to Michael Schumacher.' Eddie Jordan
      "I had an opportunity to go to Ferrari but the contract that was offered by Jean was that if Michael was 5th and I was 4th, I had to move over, and, if I was 1st and he was 2nd, I had to move over.I couldn't sign a contract that committed me to being a #2" - David Coulthard.
      "Ferrari, the contract that was offered effectively made me, on paper, number two to Michael. I've no doubt that Michael was the stronger driver out of the two because I recognise he was a better overall package than I was but at that stage of my career, I just couldn't accept signing a number two contract and that's why I decided to sign at McLaren and I think that was the right decision for my career." David Coulthard.

    That daring all or nothing overtake from Michael on the grass at Turn 1, Bridgestone VS Michelin. The tires going in favor of Renault then it started to dry and the Bridgestone tires found pace.
    It was epic and Alonso charging back at Michael with everything he had and then Schumacher hanging on to take his 91st F1 victory. That was my childhood. I wish F1 TV had commentary for the classic race. This is the race I want F1 CZcams to upload I've asked many a time. Please... It would mean so much to me. Keep Fighting Michael.

      This is so true. Ross Brawn once admitted that when he proposed to Mercedes that he wanted to bring in Michael the ones who opposed were these "people we got from Manor who didn't want Michael in the team because they knew what kind of work they had to do once he was in the team". Norbert Haug swiftly approved Michael's deal to join Mercedes and the team you see today is in no small part due to the time they spent with Schumi as Toto Wolff himself admitted: "Michael Schumacher is one of the founders of our success today."

    Went to Ferrari (third best team at that moment while having contract proposals from the top teams like Williams and McLaren, but went to Ferrari instead) and became the face of the Italian brand by building his own team and helping mechanics by himself on his own car and giving Ferrari their first F1 titles in more than 20 years!
    He did something that no other driver has ever done before and did that TWICE!

    Schumacher went from a team he won 2 titles in a row with, to a team that hadn't won in the sport for over 2 decades. He helped to build the foundations of that team over the next 3 years and then went on to dominate with that team for the next 5 years. He helped and was a crucial part in building their success.
    He also came out of retirement and helped developed Mercedes into what they are now before Hamilton took the seat He was in. Brawn himself said Schumacher had an immense and crucial part to play in developing the car and team into what it was to dominate the sport with Hamilton at the wheel.
    Schumacher has and always will be the greatest F1 driver the sport has seen, alot don't like him, but anyone with common knowledge of F1 won't dispute that. Hamilton is a great, that can't be disputed. But he is not the greatest of all time.
    Love or hate him, Schumacher was the greatest.
    Oh to answer about others with poor equipment, Schumacher also has the most wins in a non championship winning car even though he has less wins than Hamilton, further proof Hamilton is only great with the greatest car against the other greats records.
