    You guys are forgetting about Fisichella, 2005 World Champion. And if the trend continues..who knows...maybe even Massa has a shot for 2006.

    Gerhard was great racer!

    However, coming back to Michael... you never answered:

    Do you have a source for that yet?

    Actually I can't find it anymore. There is too much about MS trying to cheat and getting busted in 06 so now I can't find the quote. It was in either 01 or 02 and MS said it at Monaco.

    P.S. you're still a moron.

    But I am not the one who claims it happened... and I don't think it happened...

    So, I am willing to wait till you find a source. If it happened.. a moron would be able to find the source.

    Yes because you don't think it happened, it of course did not.



    Not the exact quote, but very telling as to how MS rates himself against Senna.

    Read the article again.. Michael is not rating himself against Senna... he is complementing Senna. He is a modest champion and a true gentleman.

    We are still waiting for the quote in which Michael says Senna is king... even a moron would be able to find that.. IF IT HAPPENED!

    I am not saying it did not happen... but then again... a moron would be able to find the source if it really did happen!

    You read it again, he also said, he never has said he's the best to anyone. If you had any sense you'd know what he's trying to say. But of course you don't. So stop with your stupid ass comments when people are trying to have an intelligent debate. You contribute nothing to a disscussion just your stupid drivel about things you know nothing about. Put up or shut up.

    Luis, I understand how hard and frustrating it is to find a particular quote, but in this case I have to side with Imperial. Simply because personally I'm getting frustrated and tired of all those famous quotes, that when pressed for a source, nobody seems to have one.

    I'm not accusing you of making that quote up, but I'd like in general to see more sources when people quote such famous things. It's like the one where Enzo allegedly said, that he sells motors and throws in the car for free. I offered once $ 100 for a source, but nobody had one. Yet everybody keeps repeating it.

    Also I'd appreciate it if we could keep the name calling to a minimum.

    Result 3 when I searched Yahoo for "senna is king".......doesnt say a great deal about you're mental capacity Impy ;)





    Schumacher: Senna will always be King

    Thursday June 1st, 2000

    Michael Schumacher could win the Monaco Grand Prix for the fifth time in seven years on Sunday but he says nobody will ever dethrone the late Ayrton Senna as "King of Monte Carlo".

    The Brazilian won a record six times, with five in a row from 1989 to 1993.

    Schumacher won his first Monaco Grand Prix for Benetton the following year, just weeks after Senna was killed at the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola in a Williams.

    "Senna is the king," Schumacher said after the first day's free practice on Thursday.

    "I don't think I ever will be. It's not a challenge I'm aiming for, you can't compare the two of us. You never know what he would have done in the future."

    The 31-year-old German who leads this year's championship was second fastest on Thursday, pipped at the very end of the session by world champion Mika Hakkinen of McLaren.

    "I'm confident but not over confident," said a relaxed Schumacher presiding over the Ferrari stand overlooking the harbour packed with sumptious yachts.

    "I know the competition is tight as we have seen today. I have to get a good start in order to win the race."

    Schumacher's last three wins on the Monaco circuit renowned for its hairpin corners have come from second place on the grid, and no pole position driver has won a Formula One race in 11 attempts since Hakkinen's victory in Hungary last August.

    But Schumacher brushed off talk of a jinx on the pole.

    "You know how many times these statistics get broken, sooner or later somebody is going to win from the front," he said.

    The Monaco circuit weaves around the narrow streets that leave little room for overtaking so a good position on the grid is vital.

    "It's important here to be in the front row, whether you're first or second I think it doesn't matter very much," said Schumacher.

    He has 18 points in hand over nearest rival Hakkinen after winning at the Nuerburgring two weeks ago but Schumacher was also watching out for other rivals.

    "I would not discount Coulthard honestly. And my team mate (Brazilian Rubens Barichello). He had a problem today with the car but I'm sure that will be fixed."

    He also tipped Heinz-Harald Frentzen in the Jordan, Giancarlo Fisichella at Benetton and his brother Ralf Schumacher who drives for Williams and has never finished a race at Monte Carlo yet.

    "Any of those guys could do something special here," he said.

    A fifth victory at Monaco would bring Schumacher level with Briton Graham Hill who won five times between 1963 and 1969.

    Andreas, I'll do my best to find it but the point that is trying to be made is simply that MS has never clamied to be the best ever like some people on this board claim. That was the reason behind the other quote. But some people are too subborn to get it. It's frustrating when people just make statements but add nothing to the disscussion.

    Interesting to think what Bernie Eccelstone (a neutral party) has to say as the best skilled driver of all time.

    That actually speaks for MS.

    I also remember that he difused all the comparisons with Fangio after his 5th and 6th title.

    I think he (as any professional racer) has a much more realistic outlook on his achievements than some of his fans. I think he knows exactly where his place in history is.

    Great you found it... I wanted racerx to find it... I remember that interview... but that was besides the point.

    Racerx could have simply searched on yahoo... instead he decided to use profanity and insults.

    Back to the discussion...

    This interview happened in 2000... before world championship 3,4,5,6, and 7

    Compared to Senna's 3 world championships... Michael Schumacher has 7!

    Numbers don't lie... Michael Schumaher is the greatest racer of all time!
