Schumacher is the man - Alain Prost.

Alain Prost, the most successful F1 driver of all time in terms of outright wins has spoken out about his admiration for Ferrari number one, Michael Schumacher.

The Frenchman according to BBC news said: "I wasn't able to drive every car at the top speed straight away. In that he is better than me."

He continued: "It was a risk for Ferrari to introduce the Schumacher system. Naturally you can criticise that everything was done to cater for just one man. But for Ferrari it was the only way. To succeed they need discipline."
