I said driver, not F1 driver. I bet Shumacher would always be speeding.

I agree with this. Schumacher has been in the much faster car over the past few years and shouldn't be regarded as the best driver ever.
Formula one has 2 types of people, drivers and racers. Micheal schumacher is a driver as he will not push and risk everything for the win if he is in trouble. We saw a perfect example of this in magny-cours, he made a 4th pit stop because he didnt want to risk racing Alonso.
Someone like Kimi raikkonen is a racer, he will push and push everything he has and could be regarded as the best driver in the sport. Micheal schumacher does not take risks, and is not entertaining.
Remember in Barcelona, at the beginning of the season they stuck valentino rossi in a ferrari and he beat micheal schumachers lap record on his first attempt!
If you put kimi raikkonen in a ferrari, he would most probably beat micheal. Sorry people but what F1 is witnissing at the moment is not driving genius but Techinical masterclass. Ross brawn is behind the car and ferrari have no doubt the best car, and the wins arent micheal's Credit,there the Car's and the tactical and mechanical genius behind the car.

The accolade for best F1 driver ever has to go to Fangio- he never finished lower than fourth in a race, won 24 of his 51 races, and was a true sportsman- he retired so that others could do well. He had amazing driving ability: Once at the German GP on the original 14-mile Nurburgring, he was a long way down on the leaders, after a botched pitstop; he raced on to pass them in the closing stages, setting a lap record 9 seconds faster than his pole time. More talented than Schumacher? Easily, and also because he was not treated as well in the way that unlike schumacher, he was given a car and just drove it, nothing about settings and all that.
> Yes, I think the title of best driver ever should go to Fangio.
Because you're, what, 9 years old and can remember him?
Ffs, have your own opinions instead of trying to fit for once.
Bloody hell.
