Have you ever considered that if you're going to make accusations like this it's a good idea to have some proof to back them up?

as for michael schumacher being the greatest driver of all time.
don't make me laugh,a driver who has to have it written into his contract that his team mate always as to defer to him.who's team mate isn't even allowed to overtake him.
Firstly AIUI the "no overtaking" contract condition was put in by Ferrari, not insisted on by Schumacher, because it makes no sense for the team to risk losing both drivers in a stupid accident when they can have a 1-2 instead. Secondly such "team orders" are now illegal anyway.

a driver who's team go bitching to the stewards and the fia because the grooves on the opositions tyres are 0.5 of a millimetre to wide.
So it's the team, not the driver? I suggest you look at the history of F1 and notice the number of times that there have been complaints by one team about another's car infringing some rule by a fraction of a millimetre.

no schumacher isn't the greatest driver of all time,he just hasn't got the opposition he used to have since hakkinen jacked in and mclaren and williams lost the plot.
Err, if his success is all down to that, how come he managed to win all those *previous* F1 championships...?
