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???
Lewis will never achieve anything to the level of Schumacher. Schumacher is like God. I agree with Vanilla-Bear. Who dare speak badly of a divine warrior like Michael Schumacher. You see when Schumacher raced, there was no one better than him. No one. Not even that shiit head of a team mate who thought he could be as good as him called Rubens Barichello. In regards to Lewis I can name a few drivers better than him. There are Kimi, Massa, Alonso, Vettel, Kubica and Jensen Button. Given equal cars and I strickly mean equal cars, Lewis will come last everytime. All those drivers have shown they can win races with inferior cars and or if they have fast cars with pace and skill. Lewis Hamilton has shown many a time, including is 2008 championship which a true supporter of the sport shouldn't recognise as a pure fluke. Even Spa. Forget about the stewards decision giving Massa the win. Had Lewis of won in the end it would of been a fluke. I remember it rained at the end. Everyone that spins crashes. Lewis spins many times and survives. What a lucky little brat. At least Massa who got the win in the end kept his car straight the whole time.[/quote]
the meer fact that people think that you can compare Schumi to any other driver is a complete joke. Michael has brought us new records and had defined what 'Greatness' really means, nor what it takes to be a real champion. I am proud to say i am a Tifosi and that it has ran thru my blood since i was at the age of 7 while seeing them dominate in more than one. While you speak of McLaren compared to Ferrari? we have honour that runs thru, the classical fel that Ferari brings to each and every circuit, but while being such a fan you must accept other peoples opinions and strong views. We are failing badly at the moment but do not judge the team thru one poor performance, we have 16 + 15 titles under our name. The only reason you bad mouth us is thru pure jealously that we have suceded one or more things than other teams. This conversation will go no were, facts are there that we have had the greatest driver of all time & we wil continue to break records. McLaren are the best contineuous team i have had the pleasure to watch. Brawn have done great in Oz, but lets not jump the guns for the 2009 season.
