Chen Xiangbei really wasn't kidding; he would watch Schumacher's race videos when he had free time to learn how to drive.
The reason is simple, Schumacher at his peak was like a god, with perfect lines without any flaws, possessing the most balanced single lap and long distance.
Rain battles and street circuits were no weaknesses for him, and he was equally strong in both offense and defense. Of his seven championships, at least three to four were won while driving the second or third fastest car in the paddock, beating opponents to stand on the top podium.
This is why, although Hamilton is also a seven-time world champion, some people always feel he's slightly inferior to Schumacher, because Mercedes' cars are almost "Mars Rovers", making championship wins seem inevitable.
Of course, this doesn't mean Hamilton is no good; at his peak, he was equally unbeatable.
