Page 6 of 8 Quotes from Michael Schumacher.
Michael Schumacher (born January 3, 1969 in Hürth, near Cologne), properly pronounced as IPA: /mikaɛl ʃumaɹɚ/ and not IPA: /mIkɔl ʃumakɔ/ as often pronounced in English-speaking countries, is a German Formula One driver and the most successful driver of all time. He is also the first and only German to win the drivers' championship.
Attributed "With the car we had, getting a pole was sort of obvious." About Schumacher "He is incredibly professional. If you had to go for a heart operation you'd want somebody who was the Schumacher of the heart surgery world to do the job, because you can rely on him." (...). He laughs as he considers the dominance of his old enemy. "Fortunately Michael wasn't like that in 1996! The fact he is still winning makes me feel a lot better. It's not so bad to be beaten by the best driver who's ever lived. Nobody really knew that then. I was first into the arena, the first Christian thrown to the lions" --Damon Hill, The Guardian, 2004
