He also had so many team mates who were themselves world champions - rarely was he a straight number one and was always fighting his teammates - Rosberg, Andretti, Prost, Piquet, Hill, Hakkinen all became champions and de Angelis could well have done. Compare that to someone like Schumacher who never had a team mate who was a threat until his comeback.

@@samacw Schumacher would have destroyed every team mate he had. He was a bit like Sebastian Loeb. Loeb in his first full WRC season beat two world champion team mates. Schumacher in 1992 outscored every major driver bar Nigel Mansell who had a unbeateable car and was a champ that year. Michael almost outscored Patrese who was in the same car as Mansell. Michael head and shoulders above the rest in his era and it pains me to see him compared to someone like Nigel Mansell who lost against every decent teammate he raced with.

@@srxt6758 I don't know if this account is still going, but for reference to other account users. Schumacher almost always had a better car than Hakkinen, who was rated higher than him prior to F1, and often two cars better off in the wcc. The one year Hakkinen had the better car, he won the championship. Even in 99 when Schumacher broke his legs, Hakkinen was a clear margin ahead of him in the points. But Schumacher fangirls like this guy are so attached to their fascination with him that it's embarrassing. People like this guy will never acknowledge the favoritism Schumacher got from Bridgestone, giving an advantage comparable to what Mansell had. Mansell's 92 season compares favorably to any of Schuacher's titles especially when you consider how often mechanical problems the WIlliams had.

There is no question had he retired after Prost whipped the floor with him in Ferrari that he would have walked out title less. Mansell lucked out into that car in 92' otherwise there would be no Mansell the champion. His CART title on the other hand is well deserved.

vin russo no the reason Michael didn't succeed in f1 was because of the car. The 1993 McLaren MP4-8 was a good car except on the straights due to the lackluster Ford V8. Andretti didn't get enough track time and didn't adapt to the car well. He showed flashes of speed like donnington when when went round the outside of micheal schumacher and his podium in Italy. But he just didn't mesh well with the way the car drove. Also didn't help the McLaren was just entering a slump. Maybe he would have done better with the 94 car that didn't have active suspension but the 94 car had a crap engine. If he stayed till 94 and the MP4-9 had a decent engine, he and hakkinen could have done something. O well.

vin russo Micheal Andretti said on numerous occasions that Senna was nothing but nice and supportive to him. So whether Senna was an asshole or not I don't know but at least from what Micheal said Senna was never anything but nice and supportive of him. Micheal said it was his own fault for trying to stay in America part time during the season and not moving to England to be near the team. It just didn't fit for him and he made mistakes and didn't spend enough time adapting to the car and F1. It didn't help that McLaren fired him just as he was getting the hang of it and had had his first podium. I think in the end he was happier going back to America and CART.

Mansell ran a 1.33, which was the record at the time. It was beaten in 1999, but Mansell had a manual gear box. No automatic downshift, everything manual. Those cars had a 1000 HP but to go to the edge was dangerous and Mansell was on the edge. New transmission and gear boxes are at least a couple of seconds a lap. Dario Franchini holds the lap record from 1999 with Team mean green, with a blistering 1.28. 2016 time was 1.34.

Saying that (in the days when F1 existed) two Grand Prix drivers came from Indy and therefore Indy and American racing could match F1 (in the days when F1 existed) for allure and technical capacity is like saying that Formula Renault is the equal of F1 (whose home was the capitol of world motorsport: England - when it existed, obviously) because a couple of Formula Renault drivers advanced from lowly Formula Renault to the pinnacle of the art. Obviously, Indy doesn't exist anymore either, but it's still worth remembering what was what when things did exist. Americans would do well to learn that saying things loudly doesn't change the nub of the thing being said (only the volume), and, adding the word 'World' to domestic championships doesn't actually infer world-level competition. This track is very nice, though. It's not really like Spa. It's more like Brands Hatch melted into The Ring before they ruined it.

Just to settle down the Americans' umbrage at claims that England is better at everything, and especially motorsport, stoicism and military stuff. It is not true. Americans are better at tennis, films about moon landings, being bigger, and playing pool, but they can't compete at very advanced things like the cutting edge of racing, and they don't know how to cook fish and chips. Germans are also very good at engineering, but they also don't eat fish and chips. Japan, too, is a supremely productive country, but, sadly, again, no fish and chips. Nigel was better because he was tested by and against the best, all of whom worked or drove in Formula One back then. Americans tend to be insular yet they call things World Championships anyway, and if they can't win on an even footing, they simply obliterate, which seems to keep them satisfied so far. Happily, they don't need to obliterate F1, as it did that to itself, and it doesn't exist anymore. Yet again, America wins.
