Yep, I can't deny MS is a great driver. He is!!! But I believe that he didn't deserse some of his titles. I don't have anything against MS. He's very good!! But he just isn't the greatest driver of the last decade. He's probably not even better than Montoya or Kimi or Alonzo etc... He just had a very good car a very good partner (Rubens) and a lot of team orders in his favor, remember!!!
Before I got interested in F1, MS crashed, saw damon Hill in his rear mirror and got back on track, cradhing into Damon, to make sure Damon couldn't become WC. I heard that (when Verstappen) was a team mate of MS, Verstappen had to drive Schumacher's car. verstappen told journalists that MS's car had more buttons and aids than his cars. Verstappen was then promptly fired (that's what I heard from a friend).
Rubens cars always broke down when he still got the change to win the title. He even had to let MS pass just before the finishing line. MS's ferrari never broke down, the last few years. I remember one day (Rubens was only some points behind MS and it was MS's chance to get the title before the ending of that season, if Rubens didn't win) that Rubens car was still standing (on the starting grid, right before the green lights went on) with his front wheels up in the air. Ferrrari said that there was a problem and forgot something. NO way, this was to make sure Rubens couldn't win that race, so MS was able to become WC that race. After that race (and other seasons) Rubens was allowd to win race and his car never broke down again. Why?? Because Ferrari wanted to make sure MS won the title (more than once, more than one season, these things happened.)
I know for fact that MS always left his line right after the start. Many drivers made official complaints about that MS maneuver and he was never punished. I also remembered that Coulthard did the same thing that season (only once) and he was punished.
Etc, etc......
But c'mon guys. MS is a very, very good driver. Not THE best but certainly one of the best around these days. I like watching MS drives. He makes F1 somewhat interesting. He deserves most of his titles but certainly not all of them. Also this, Marc Goossens, an ex F3000 driver (lives only 9 km form where I live) was a very good friend of MS and he said that MS is a very good and pleasant person to have as a friend. you see, I don't have anything against MS, I'm not a fan as well (I'm not a fan of anybody) but he was able to do things other drivers couldn't and therefore got 1 or 2 WC titles he doesn't deserve.
Let Kimi, Alonso, Montoya, Button or somebody else win the next season.
Sorry to all the MS fans for saying these things but I'm not the only one who thinks about MS this way.
