While I think Schumacher is probably the best driver in the world at the moment, and perhaps the best EVER, modern F1 cars have far too many driver aides to allow for skill comparisons to drivers in other series. Automatic transmissions, electronic throttles, traction-control, and launch-assist allow the F1 driver to focus on cornering lines and braking techniques. Heaven knows they don't spend a great deal of time worrying about overtaking, which is about as rare in F1 as a Dixie Chicks concert on the White House lawn.

Do you honestly believe Schumacher to be better than Ayrton Senna or Alain Prost?
Get real dude. If either of them had Schumacher equipment, they would have been even greater than they were.
