I think you nailed it with your comments about the way he carries himself off the track. He's just a cringe worthy douche. His driving is fantastic, but it's why he polarises fans so much. You have the crowd that appreciates the talent, and the other crowd that can't get past his personality. I'm not a Hamilton fan, but I'm happy to admit he's a great driver.

Comparisons to Schumacher is a difficult one. Different eras, different circumstances. It's always tedious comparing past and present champions. Even qualifying was often very different back in the Schumacher days. For a while there it was a one lap shoot out. If you didn't nail it you didn't get pole. I think with the current format (when he was with Ferrari) Schumacher might have gotten more poles. But I also don't think that was where his strengths were. He was much better over a race distance. Lewis is exceptional at those quick qually laps.

A well deserved record.
