The sentence was removed following this discussion. It does not seem to be neutral, although Schumacher is still one of the greatest drivers of all time by any measure (wins (dry/rain), championships, longevity, dominance over teammates, et cetera).

Thats a strange discussion, is Kasparov greatest chess player in all time? Perhaps but while he still competes he is simply the best chess player currently. :) And also I don't understand that "family" idea to stop his career, maybe because I play chess also. :)--Polsci2 (talk) 17:46, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230221174600","author":"Polsci2","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Polsci2-20230221174600-86.128.56.73-20220720180500","replies":[]}}-->

I was wondering if you guys are ok with a nomination of this article as a featured article. The article fits the criteria, and is not a vague subject. Vifvuv (talk) 17:01, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220826170100","author":"Vifvuv","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Vifvuv-20220826170100-Featured_Article_Nomination","replies":["c-Eem_dik_doun_in_toene-20220826183800-Vifvuv-20220826170100"]}}-->

The article wouldn't pass the FA criteria in its current form. It lacks (scholarly) references and several sources used are not of FA quality (such as "Snow Industry News" and "cmhelmets"). Some information is also missing (what was his driving style like, what was his impact on the sport, how was he received/regarded in the media/by other drivers?).

Just wondering why Michael's nationality is omitted from his infobox? Every other driver has their nationality and flag listed as standard, the precedent is clear.
