5 most memorable races of Michael Schumacher in Mercedes

#4 Italian GP 2011

Lewis and Schumacher were involved in an epic battle

You talk about the greatest driver of all time and you talk about Michael Schumacher. You talk about the greatest driver of this generation and you talk about Lewis Hamilton. Monza 2011 was one of the rare occasions when both of them came to blows.

Both had the same engine(Mercedes) but Schumacher had a setup which helped him have a very good top speed but vulnerable in the corners. This meant that even though Lewis had the better car in the corners and even the aid of DRS on the long straights of Monza, it was going to be a huge task for him to nail the overtake.

And so it happened, as everyone witnessed the star of the past, in the twilight of his career, teaching the new pretender a lesson in defensive driving when positioning the car at the right spot at the right time with regularity.

In a car much more superior to Schumacher's, Lewis struggled like anything to pass the great one. It is still remembered as one of the great battles of the modern era where extenuating circumstances led to some great wheel to wheel action between two legends in the unlikeliest of the scenarios.
