I rate Hamilton highly - Schumacher
Michael Schumacher, seven time World Champion, declared that he rates Lewis Hamilton highly. Hamilton, currently seven points ahead of Felipe Massa in the championship standings, has learned a lot in his first two seasons in F1 according to Schumacher.
Michael Schumacher said to 'BBC': "I really rate him very highly because I believe that what he has done in such a short time is incredible. Competing last year with Alonso and being often quicker talks for itself.
"But then I'm always a bit concerned if we talk about 'is he the best?', is he better than Massa or not. You have to look at the circumstances, they are not always very clear to see from the outside I think."
