How would PRIME Michael Schumacher stack up against the current grid?

tyler.rowlinson2mo ago

Verstappen is the only driver that stop Schumacher from dominating. Maybe Hamilton and Alonso in their prime could battle him, but they’re not there anymore

masternoah572mo ago

Really vague question to argue. If he went right now, in his current age, he’d be last. If it was his prime vs current drivers’ prime, I reckon 2nd or 3rd. He was beaten by Alonso, and LH beat Alonso, so my ranking would be LH, MV, MS, FA. But this is all speculative and car generation has a big impact.

Alonso beat him but that was he was mid-late 30s at that time, so I don't think that should be held against him

aaditya.krishnamurthy2mo ago

I think he'd have no competition in terms of ability (I don't think this is Hamilton's prime, even though he's still great) outside of maybe Verstappen. But that question can only be answered based on what team he'd be driving for!

Lewis Hamilton prime against Schumacher prime Lewis wins every time

david.comerford2mo ago

The only driver on the current grid who could handle him is Verstappen I think. Hamilton could in his prime, but he's not quite at that level anymore

wilsonjimwilson2mo ago

He would be disqualified in every race for cheating, then be banned for life after maybe 5 rounds for his dangerous driving.

david.comerford2mo ago

Maybe a bit far! But the tougher officiating from the stewards would definitely hurt him
