Schumacher against history,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michael Schumacher: The Greatest of All? (Hardcover)
Delves on how Schumacher stacks up against the best driversof all time. Contains some interesting anecdotes about Schumacher finishing a race in the top 10 with the car stuck in 5th gear! Could have added more anecdotes though. Interesting read nonetheless, finished it in one sitting.
