Arguably, the "GOAT" of Formula One irrespective of the records and titles that he has in the bag. Other than Fangio, neither of Hamilton, Prost or Senna were ever the undisputed numero uno drivers on the grid as soon as they stepped on the grid and started making a mark. Schumacher, ever since he won his first title was pretty much the best driver on the grid by some distance and no one ever doubted that. He's the most complete driver to have ever stepped into an F1 car.

He was ruthless, he was fast, he never gave an inch and sometimes took two from the opponents. He was great at qualifying and the best when it came to races and something that really made him a legend of the sport was the metamorphosis Ferrari had under him where they transformed from perennial underperformers to an absolute Juggernaut of the sport. Michael Schumacher is truly the "GOAT" of Formula One.
