I don’t think Lewis can be compared to Schumi? 7 titles and have the world love him then get back to me.
Agree that Lewis is widely hated for reasons that I don't need to repeat, but what are you talking about the World loving Schumi? I think you have a bit of a selective memory. Schumi was loved by Italians and Germans I guess and then the other Ferrari fanatics, that’s about it. Brits in general I don’t think so, Spaniards I doubt too, Brazilians hmm not number one favourite for pushing their own boys to 2nd line, Finns most likely not etc. He was actually pretty much hated around the world for arrogance and thinking that the rules didn’t apply to him, and people seem to always forget that his victories were not the most honorable ones either.
It just seems to be that nice guys don’t make it to the top of Formula one.
My friend on this forum there are things you do and don't do. You should not challenge a Michael Schumacher fan like myself like that! You will regret it. Now here I go -
In recent years the FIA has conducted many surveys in a recent year Michael Schumacher was voted the most popular and that the main figures mainly came thru from Britain. He is the richest sportsman of all time and 18th most powerful, he is classed as the 'King Of F1' and has caused the Tifosi mania to spread all over the world and is most notably well known in the USA for being the face of F1.
I can also drop in some facts and records too? Or any personal information you might want to know??? 
With this he was 1 of 2 people to make F1 big, the other man being Fernando Alonso. So with this please just accept facts and figures. Otherwise we will get into a lil argument. But I do know allot about Michael Schumacher, Read his books? Followed allot about him on the net? Lewis is hated thru pure Cockiness and his ways of 'Getting round things'
His father also embarrassed him? Which I do not see any other F1 drivers family embarrassing them? Never the less John Button has never done anything to ruin his reputation.
Schumacher may have been liked in the states, thats because for the majority of Citizens over the pond its the only F1 name they've heard of. They werent too happy with him at that staged race in the US. he is obviously liked in Italy and Germany but for evidence of how disliked he was in Britain by many racing fans you had only to visit the post race concerts at Silverstone and hear the cheers as compare after compare took the p!ss out of him.
Schumacher may be the richest sportsmean of all time, Im not sure, but lewis is tipped to leave him standing.
Oh and by the way, I would never compare lewis to Schumacher.I'd aim higher.
Lewis is not cocky, he is supremely confident as he needs to be. The media and misinterpretation of what he says and means are the cause for some people disliking him. Others-they cant bare hie rapid success and huge talent.Buttons fther, massa's father attend all races, im sure other fathers do too. Anthony got constantly interviewed because of lewis' instant success. In Brazil I daresay Mr. Massais interviewed a lot.
Lewis is hated for his " way of getting around things". I dont know what you mean by this and wonder what evidence you have to say it caused hatred of him???
