Marc- Most actually spent those years wishing someone- anyone would beat MS. Furthermore (although undoubtedly the best F1 driver of the modern era) Schumacher downfall was his total lack of sportsmanship and his winning record though impressive will forever be tainted (like LH).
While MS was a dominant but great driver LH is not nearly in the same class. A drivers equivelent of a class bully without the skill to control the car once he stuffed it up the inside!

LH will probable never win a WDC and if he does it will have nothing to do with being the best driver, while FA is driving that accolade will be his and LH will have to compete with all the other young guns for the minor places.
