Interview with Michael Schumacher
He dominated Formula One for a decade; won more races than any driver in the sport's history; and clinched every title in the first half of this decade. After a difficult year for his team, with an uncompetitive car, yet with his racing spirit intact, Michael Schumacher is now the former champion. Respect
He had the worst year of his Formula One career, and yet Michael Schumacher still finished third in the World Championship. In so doing, he scored more points than the teammates of the two title contenders, as well as the rest of the field.
Of course, the 10 points he was gifted in the United States Grand Prix improved the situation somewhat, and without them he would have dropped behind both Juan Pablo Montoya and Giancarlo Fisichella in the final reckoning. It's true that the chances are that Michael would in any case have scored something at Indy, but so, probably, would they.
