TL;DR
Schumacher (presumably Michael, not Ralf) was a great driver. So was Senna, Hakkinen, Prost, Lauda, and many more before them. Even today there are a group of drivers who are a different class of driver than the rest of the field. I'd put Vettel, Raikonen, Alonso, and Hamilton in that group but time will tell whether they stay there or are joined by Rosberg, Perez, etc.
To pick one driver as THE BEST seems redundant. F1 of the 1950s is completely different to F1 of today. Could Fangio have done what he did if there were 20 races? Or if he had to deal with modern aerodynamics? We'll never know of course.
To have an opinion that Driver A is better than Driver B is one thing. To swear black and blue that Driver A was the best and everyone else is wrong just doesn't make sense. It can only be a subjective arguement.
