Schumacher himself said he was the driver he respected the most. Mika had a great personality, and he had a ton of talent. It took him 7 years to get his first win but one he broke through, they came in spades. Having a guy like Adrian Newey designing your car is fantastic too. Mika was extremely fast, and he left a great mark on F1. I wish he wouldn't have retired so early, but his early retirement paved the way for some guy named Kimi...
