In a stunning attack following Michael Schumacher's retirement announcement, reigning world champion Fernando Alonso - the man who finally broke the German's long reign as title holder - declared his rival "the most unsporting driver in the history of Formula One."
The Spaniard went on to claim that Schumacher has received the most sanctions ever during his racing career and then added: "That doesn't mean he hasn't been the best driver."
