Schumacher vs Moss
Michael Schumacher is always being hailed as the greatest and most successful racing driver ever. In F1 he won more races than anyone else, but he never won anything in a grossly inferior car as Stirling Moss consistently did in old Lotus’ and 250Fs. Moss won 50-odd F1 races, only 17 of which counted towards the championship, and in sports cars he was ‘the champion’.Do you agree he was the best? Schumacher was as good as his cars. Moss would dazzle in a wheelie bin. I always thought you were the best scribe by the way and, as I have been following the sport since the World Championship began, I do have a little knowledge on the subject.
