Schumacher is no Fangio, says Moss

STIRLING MOSS has insisted that even if four times world champion Michael Schumacher goes on to claim his fifth world title possibly as early as next weekend he will still be no match for Juan Manuel Fangio.

"For me there is no comparison between Fangio and Schumacher," Moss said. "Fangio stands out as the No 1 of all time. He had not only a superb natural ability but also tremendous stamina and adaptability. What's more, he was such a gentleman so ethical in everything he did.

"Michael is the outstanding driver of today. He is head and shoulders above everyone else around. But I would put Ayrton Senna and Jim Clark closer to Fangio than Schumacher."
