Very impressive, but the news reader was a bit mis-leading, 5 seconds is not "just outside the laprecord", its an eternity... With full race distance he would be two laps behind.

I like how it says:
"Michael Schumacher"
"Formula One Legend"

Sorry but I think you have to die to be a legend... don't get me wrong. I hope Schumacher gets to live a long happy life and I agree he acomplished alot. But I still think that you have to be dead to be a legend.

I'm old fashioned that way.

There is nothing in the definition of "legend" that says that you need to be dead in order to be a legend..

Schumacher you LEGEND! He can even ride a bike! (There's a reason why he's 5 seconds off, he's an F1 driver not a MotoGP driver, duh! images/smilies/lol.gif)

If a "legend" is alive and still relatively young, he's referred as "one of the best of our times".
If he's old and wrinkly he is "one of the best of his time". When he dies he is a legend.

Definitions vary from source to source.
Schumacher is not a legend because he is not dead. He belongs in the "one of the best of our times" category.

If you listen closely as he enters the pits, you could almost hear in the background what sounds like an FXX warming up!

That lap record was set during a race, it isnt a qualifying time.
Good lap none-the-less, I didnt even know he rode.
Bike riders also make good drivers.

^ Tostski, apparently he does some supermoto and is a regular rider, also he did nearly 60 laps that day!
