What an idiot. The only reason why Mika was faster than Michael was because he had such a faster car. Just look at all the Adrian Newey cars, they’re always the best. In the same car, Schumacher would whip Mika a new one and plonk on his head. Schumacher was the fastest of his era, even when he didn’t have the fastest car. He had no equal
Schumacher wasn't like Senna but schumacher was also god, beacuse for the hard working development of the cars, he was all day working on the car, with the engenniers. And that allow him to win the champonship and multiple more with Ferrari. Meanwhile, in Benneton , he had 2 world championship by the special tool with the car. The car , without that, it wouldn't too competitive for him. That's my opinion.
As Senna's defeated rival, he had to place him on an all-time throne, so only one driver in history has been a fraction faster than himself. In his prime, Senna was by far the best, then came Schumacher's time, then Vettel, Hamilton, and Verstappen. Each became a multiple world champion through talent, hard work, and favorable circumstances. Incidentally, only a few racing drivers also excel in the Race of Champions, where a wide variety of drivers compete against each other in a wide variety of cars. Schumacher was always among the best (along with the outstanding rally drivers).
Senna was talented but a Leech who hopped from best car to best car, very much Like Hamilton, Both Never Really Improved a dog shit car unlike Schumacher, Alonso, verstappen
Schumacher only ever beat Senna in 3 races at the start of the 1994 season – running in an illegal car with TC. Senna & Clark are the best drivers ever asiding the 50's era as Fangio.
Nonsense to say Schumacher didn't have the natural skill & speed & then mention Hamilton rather than Schumacher when it comes to rain, when Schumacher was also the rain master.
Isn't donington 93 equal to montmelo 96? I think yes Martin. And the relation of Senna with Honda, Ronn and the team? Not comparable to Jean, Ross and Montezemolo for Michael?
Different eras, just that, leave it there… Fernando Max Lewis Michael Prost Senna Lauda … Just different eras Just that Slight differences, very slight, tiny Still we try to identify the best…can we? I dont think so You can go with: "I like more…"
People must understand your preference is always someone in your own golden years. Senna was exactly that to MB. Schumacher was the greatest driver of his era as is Verstappen. Senna was beaten by Prost too many times. If Senna is the greatest then where was Prost cause he had the measure of Senna.
Martin Brundle, an average F1 driver who never won a single race and who clearly has a massive chip on his shoulder, has made it his career goal to discredit Schumacher. It' frankly embarrassing to watch. He'll always bring up the Schumacher / Villeneuve incident and "forgets" Senna did the same to Prost (and got away with it scott free).
Considering Senna has the most wins in the rain, followed by Verstappen then Schumacher (who are almost tied), that says a lot. One thing thats overlooked is both Senna and Schumacher raced in much shorter seasons, so that needs to be taken into account. Plus they drove much higher power to weight ratio cars. After adjusting for shorter seasons alone, Senna and Schumacher are well above everyone else in terms of their wet weather winning percentage. Senna will probably never be equaled though.
Not all UK experts, of course but some coverage definitely feels biased when the driver isn’t British. You could see it with Schumacher back then and you can see it with Verstappen now.

Schumacher 😂… A class above Hakkinen…

Michael didnt have the raw Speed? Look spain Race from 1996! In the rain in an underpowered car he laped the hole field
I can't believed that max had both of these trait, driven by his heart and head
Martin Brundle should retire immediately because of his stupid words…

Senna told fittipaldi that Michael was the hardest driver he had ever raced against.
Sorry Martin Brundle the GOAT of GOATS is Michael Schumacher,he was way better than Senna period❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t care what Brundell has to say, you are never going to see a better driver than Schumacher, especially in the wet.
