Schumacher: I’m no Fangio

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER insists he should not be compared to Juan Manuel Fangio as he prepares to erase the Argentinian legend from the Formula One record books.

The 34-year-old is on the verge of an historic sixth drivers' title needing just one point from tomorrow's Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka to be crowned champion.

The debate will then rage as to who among Fangio, Brazil's three-time winner Ayrton Senna and Schumacher is the greatest racing driver of all-time with the statistics, at least, pointing heavily in favour of the German.
