Will Anyone Remember Michael Schumacher?

If you ask Jacques Villeneuve the answer is no. Jacques was quoted as saying, "I think the day he hangs up his helmet people will just forget him. I don't even think Michael will live on in people's memories as strong or as long as [Alain] Prost has - certainly not as strong or as long as [Nigel] Mansell has. Those people attained a hero status that Michael never has and never will. Michael simply isn't a great champion because he's played too many dirty tricks and because he isn't a great human being. He thinks he's bigger than the sport, too, but he isn't. And when he retires, and no one really remembers him, that will become clear."

Those are some pretty arrogant comments from a second tier driver who got paid like a top tier driver. I personally am glad to see characters like Montoya and Villeneuve leave the sport. They always blamed others for their mistakes and losses and were two of the most arrogant drivers in the sport. Just my two cents.
