Michael Schumacher sees Vettel matching him

Michael Schumacher could be matched, or even surpassed, by his compatriot and friend Sebastian Vettel. In any case, this is what the seven-time world champion declared, then interviewed by the Belgian television channel Vier. “He has the best package and championships are usually won by the best”, declared the one who retired permanently at the end of last year.

Holder of almost all records in Formula 1 With the exception of those of precocity (held by Vettel, editor's note), the German clearly sees the one that some have nicknamed "Baby Schumi" doing better than him in the future. “Records exist to be broken, explained Michael Schumacher. They motivated me when I was racing, and in the end I accomplished them. Believe me, if Sebastian (Vettel) would be able to surpass what I did, I would be happy for him. In a short period he won three titles, so why couldn't he win seven? »

A perspective that the main interested party refuses to comment on. " It's ridiculous ", replied Sebastian Vettel when he was again compared with Michael Schumacher in the Spanish newspaper Marca. “I won three titles, which is nothing compared to seven.”
