Michael Schumacher keeps Lewis Hamilton up at night and likely inspires Max Verstappen. Hamilton is tied with Schumacher with seven F1 Driver World Championships, and Verstappen because he has won the last three Driver Championships and is leading in points this season. Schumacher won the Championship twice driving for Benetton in 1994 and 1995 and an astonishing five years from 2000 through 2004 for Ferrari.

In addition to establishing Ferrari as a powerhouse team at the beginning of the 21st century, Schumacher also amassed an unprecedented and unbeaten sweep of podiums, wins, pole positions, and fastest laps. Schumacher, who trained and worked as a mechanic early on, was also noteworthy for his work with Ferrari team engineers and mechanics on the race cars. For many F1 fans in the 1990s and 2000s, Michael Schumacher was the greatest F1 driver in the world.
