Forget Schumacher. The two words that spring to mind where Sir Stirling Moss is concerned are class and legend. His was a career that illustrates very well that numbers alone do not equal greatness.

So can you explain to me what changed? How can I possibly come to a different conclusion?
If you want to go down another road other than the senility one then I can only think that he is really jealous of Schumacher because he could never have been half the driver Schuey was. Stirling is probably bitter that he never won a WDC, even though he says it doesn't bother him, I really beg to differ. Given the era in which Moss was born, Schumacher's nationality probably doesn't help his cause either.
I don't get this reference to Moss being an all time great either. He was continually trounced by Fangio, a man 18 years his senior, whilst Moss was in his prime.
Stirling Moss - overrated and quite probably now is senile.

Oh great — another unpleasant fanboy with a complete lack of historical perspective. Just what the forum needs.

So by your definition anyone at all who claims that Schumacher didn't win all 7 championships by anything other than pure skill somehow has a mental illness. Oh please!
