Maybe he really isn’t The Stig after all.

Hamilton's a a plucky kid. He's one of the best young drivers I have seen in a long time, and I have seen quite a few, Senna, Mansell, Prost, Piquet and even Schumey himself.
Without that silly mistake in China, Hamilton could have won the F-1 world campiosnhip in his very first F-1 season. That;s virtually unheard of.
As for Schumacher, the only driver who in my book challenges him as the greatest formula one driver ever, would be Juan Manuel Fangio.
In terms of pure stats of course, no one can touch Schumacher, with his 5 straight world championships and 7 world championship titles overall, but being the greatest is not only about just stats.

Scumacher's stats:
# 1. He holds the record for most World Championships (seven)
# 2. Most consecutive World Championships (five)
# 3. Most race victories (91)
# 4. Most fastest laps (76)
# 5. Most pole positions (68)
# 6. most points scored (1,369)
# 7. And most races won in a single season (13).

He is also the only driver to have achieved an entire season of podium finishes, on his way to his 154 podium finishes.
No one even comes close.

Looks like Ferrari are going to be able to get Schumi a few laps in the car as well before Valencia. The rest of the teams have said they don’t have a problem with it and Ferrari are submitting their request to the FIA.
