I understand Bud Bryan's point of view.

There's no denying that Schumi is a great driver, but it's also clear that his era was one where Ferrari technically dominated - so much so that F1 was practically one-sided.

So while Schumi will leave behind a legacy of astounding records, he also leaves behind a wake of completely forgettable F1 seasons where, most of the time, races were pretty much set after the 3rd lap.

I do think however, that Schumi couldn't be exiting at a better time, in a better season. He's lost the DC to Alonso and is fighting tooth and nail to recapture the title in what's got to be the tightest late-season F1 has seen since 1999 or so.

Perhaps Schumi's biggest crime is that he made it look too damn easy.
