Gerhard Berger with Michael Schumacher in 1995
Sep.8 (GMM) Michael Schumacher is still one of the very best drivers in Formula 1 according to Gerhard Berger, amid constant media speculation that at the age of 42 the great German should give up his Mercedes seat.
He told APA news agency: “Schumi can no longer beat the young, super-fast drivers because of his age, which is quite normal. But he can join in the ranks behind them.
“To the best boys – so Vettel, Rosberg and Hamilton – he is missing two or three tenths. But that means that in a Red Bull he could still win races.
“I still respect him highly. Apart from the three I mentioned I only see Alonso in front of him,” added Berger.
McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh, meanwhile, told Die Welt newspaper that Schumacher is now “in the top 12″ on the 24-strong 2011 grid.

@Sennauno – thanks picture is actually 1995
Schumacher should trade places with Webber.
At least then the other Red Bull would win for a change.
The best car on the grid is wasted in Webber’s hands!
You know you’re useless when you haven’t won for over a year and you’re driving an RB7!!!!!!!!
hey if that picture was in 1996, did schumacher and berger swap clothes?
Remember form is tempory and class is permanent and Schumacher will always have the latter.
