Don't drink the kool-aid. Schumacher has made HIS share of snide, snotty comments when he's finished badly or bombed-out of races too. They don't come across well in the English-speaking media (unless it's a live comment at a race) but I have German-speaking friends who've read/heard native-language interviews and they say he's as poor-mouthed as the rest of them.

Also, many (national) Germans frown upon his antics/waving/laughing/pointing during their national anthem while the 2nd and 3rd finishers by-and-large stand quietly/respectfully for BOTH anthems (but, thanks to German nazionalism, this never 'makes the papers'). Italians have noticed it during the constructor's anthem too and I've heard a rumor that Ferrari has gigged him a couple of times about this.
