You guys said it all, not much more to say. Best F1 driver of all-time. 7 WCs are off the charts, especially in this day of F1 politics and favoritism. I particularly enjoyed watching him drive in the wet. Didn't have Senna or Mansell's charisma, or Prost's smoothness, or Hakkinen's style, but a better racer than all of them.
My favorite memory of him was from the '94 Canadian GP, before any of his WCs. I was sitting in the middle stands at the start/finish line, about midpack. All the cars but Schumacher were lined up, engines off. Schumacher is coming up the middle to his starting position, revving his Benetton-Ford engine up and down to very high revs, letting everyone - spectators, drivers, pit crews, team owners - know he was coming through. It was his 3rd year (2nd full) in F1. The sound of the engine - and the bravado of revving it so loudly and ferociously in front of everyone - was pretty darn cool.
My favorite looking car of his was the '95 Benetton and the '91 Jordan.
