Schumacher is just another guy for Hakkinen to beat. It's you that exaggerates Schumacher's driving to Hakkinen.

Mark, the host of the podcast -

"The incredible complexity of Formula 1 cars today and the precision with which they're designed, and engineered, and operated. So if a team builds a car around Lewis Hamilton, then Valtteri Bottas has to effectively adjust to that, or if it's built around Sebastien Vettel, then Charles Leclerc perhaps has to accommodate the way it's driven, so it actually becomes a factor."

"So although the cars are not, the cars are not really designed for each individual driver, they're designed for the way the team expects to get the most out, usually out of the guy they see as they number one driver?"

Hakkinen - "That is correct."

Mika Hakkinen has done everything in F1. He's just told you how F1 teams operate, but you're going to question him?

gm99 is, lamely, going to bring up that Bottas is managed by a company Hakkinen co-owns?

When he's talking about Gasly and RB, it's got nothing to do with his management company. He's just telling you how F1 teams operate.

Trying to diminish Hakkinen puts you at the latter point of your signature. Elevating Schumacher and Hamilton because they've accumulated more stats has nothing to do with the merit of their driving abilities.

It's like saying that Hakkinen went to a restaurant twice to eat pizza, Hamilton went 6 six to eat pizza, and Schumacher 7 times to eat pizza.

"Hakkinen will never know the superhuman effort it takes to eat pizza 6-7 times."
